Lucky shot...

Sitting in the office at my desk the other day, I spun around abruptly, bent over and held the camera at floor level, and clicked the shutter button with it pointed at Huck.

Considering the absolutely whimsical nature of the sequence of events, the un-cropped result was surprisingly pleasing...

"What's that you're pointing at me?"

Nicely framed too! :-)

You have to sneak up on them to get the good shots. Nice one.

You should try to photograph Bob...Like Huck only bigger and he doesn't like the camera....

Is your writer's cramp so bad that you've got to resort to cute cat pictures?

;^)'

BTW: It's a very nice one.

B: Reminds me of the Far Side cartoon with the leopard up in the tree with a dozen cameras hanging by the limbs, and he hears a tourist down below taking a picture of him...

Paint that cat gray and he's my old tomcat, Smokey. Flash that camera one more time and you'll be in the ER getting stitched up. Smokey does not like flashes in the dark and never warns before he tears a chunk off you. Other 'n that he's a sweetheart. For a 20 year old grouchy tomcat. I've got a dent in my right calf that he tore out and ate about fifteen years ago. Hurt like hell it did and cured me of night time photosneaking.

I know that look. That's the look of a tomcat who was about to do something he knows Mommy doesn't approve of.

LOOK at that FACE. Ooooooo, wanna scrunch it!

That is the look of one seriously MIFFT kitty, one I get around my house quite frequently, especially when I close the fun drapes in the bathroom (shower curtain).

I call dibs on NJT's stuff after Huck gets done with him.

Rocket Baby was my best model as soon as she realized she could pose for treats.

Wait, people still play runescape?

Fuzzy Curmudgeon said...

Actually that look is saying, "OK, so why aren't you feeding me?"

At least that's what it means around here.

Great photo.

However, in the long term, it is not wise to startle a cat.

Will said...

I'm wondering if cats can see the auto focus beam? That might be what they are reacting to. Or, the noise.


wv: oyourtho square. Yeah, that's me.
