August Photo Challenge: Animals
Wow- if kids are hard to photograph Kittens are impossible! These were the results of an hours session- and finally I remembered the advice to use toys to keep their attention- it worked somewhat- I should've put my camera onto an action setting- that would've taken quicker shots- as it was as soon as I'd focused they were on to something else- usually just as the camera snapped!
I think the first one captures Lolly's adorableness, and Sasha (the tabby) well- that one's a tiny tiger in the making- always stalking something. We've named these guys thinking they were girls- but now that they've grown we see they are both boys! Sasha is adequately manly we think- in a Russian sense anyhow- but Lolly is a bit feminine. The girls and I are content to call him by that sweet little moniker, though, with a face that cute I think it suits him!

OMG... I want to pet each one of them right down to their tails. Great shots!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos - - that Lolly (short for lollipop?) is precious looking, and Sasha is, as you say, tiger-like. Nice compositions. Love the close up aspects.
ReplyDeleteSweet kitties. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in this month, Angela! What lovely little kitties with colorful markings! LOL, I bet you did have a frantic time trying to get their portraits done. It's a lesson in patience! And yes, a fast shutter speed is really needed for a photo session like this. Those little ones don't know the meaning of sitting still! But you did a terrific job and rose to the challenge.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful kitties! Wonderful photos!

Adorable! You captured that in spades. Love the first photo because of the position of the head...more relaxed and not straining into the camera. Enjoy your wee friends.
