WOW these are feral kittens right? cos they all look like they never saw a human before (or a camera)

A few pics of my bro's Tonkinese cats. The secret to getting these shots is unhooking one side of your camera strap so that it hangs down off your camera. Then set the camera to fast shutter speed and shoot, shoot, shoot!

woah, THAT is one tough kitteh... id just give him the camera dude, you could lose a lot more if you dont comply LOL

Good catch on the green. I adjust the WB a bit and then pulled the green channel down a little (deleted the originals)

A (very tame) stray cat thats been around my house for a few months is the mother.

They were born up there lol. And yes this was taken when they had hardly any human
contact. We had just discovered them :). Nowadays they running around the garden hehe i should take more pics of em.

PP done was auto-tone in lightroom...then used the burn feature in photoshop to darken the background so the kittens pop out.

It sounds like you need to check your monitor. Because they don't on mine.

I did not take them all under electric light. They were in a light tent. I've checked them on three computers now, and not one of them has an orange tint as you've said.

I'm seeing a green tint to the fur of the bottom two, not surprising considering the background (the tent?) is green.

It would be much better to use incandescent photo floods because they have a much smoother spectral distribution than fluorescent, especially the CFL's which have a very spikey spectral output and the Kelvin color temperature is much less stable than with incandescents or strobes.

I am dumbfounded that you actually put the cat in a light tent -- with a green background to boot. When using a background or a sweep in a light tent, it is far better to keep it neutral.

Considering the green was a fun color to play with and not meant to be professional, I think it was a fun decision. It matches his eyes and white or black would have looked too dull. I'm sure he walked in there also, the cat likes to be in front of a camera at all times lol.

[Estercita]

They put themselves there.

As for the comments on the backdrop... Everyone I have shown the pictures to loved the color because it went with their eyes. I was having fun with it and it wasn't supposed to be a professional shot. My cats are attention whores, so it was more of a challenge to kick them out of the tent.

Beautiful kitten! Let's hope she doesn't relapse and stays healthy!

Have you any idea at all what may have been wrong with her?

We think it was a reaction to antibiotics we had started giving her for a urinary tract infection a couple days before she went into her little kitty coma. The vet thought that she possibly fell off of something and received brain damage from that, but I don't believe it for a minute since she started acting funny after we gave her the medicine. There was no physical evidence on her skull that she had smacked it. Plus, I've seen her fall and bonk her head a million times and get right back up and try again.

We're just happy to have her little meowing self back to normal.:D

It might be menopause, but that brought tears to my eyes. Sooo wonderful of you to take the cat in. Does her former owner know that she has a loving home and a walmart/camera bag to curl up in?

I have a stray that looks similar. You take wonderful photos of the cats at the shelter. May I ask what lens flash/lighting you use.

[Rachel B]

Thanks for the compliments
camera is a 30d, mainly I use the nifty fifty, and sometimes for a wider shot I use the kit lens 18-55 non IS, I use a 430 ex11 that is normally bounced off the ceiling as the shelter is not well lit.

[mstef66]

I have only been experimenting for a month now. I just took this shot tonight with the kit 18-55 lens on an XS using a bounce flash. 1/200 f11 and ISO 400.
Look in her eyes, you can see me taking the shot.

Another picture of my lil' wirey-wiskered puffball Tigress.

Wow, that's a pretty cat!

Awesome, perfect DOF, cool cat as well. I'll have to try that angle with ours.

[jefzilla]

Thanx Sean.Lojek. She know's she's pretty & is smart enough to use it to her advantage...lol

Steve...took that shot with the ol' nifty fifty at 1.8. I was dangling the end of my guitar cable (it was handy) to keep her attention long enough to get the pic. Did a tiny bit of sharpening in Photoshop, as well as some vignetting around the edges. Oh, I also increased the contrast a bit around her chin & cheeks to get more definition there.

I was experimenting on another assignment and ended up with this shot of one of my cats. He's now nicknamed my Psycho Gizmo! I thought it might be worth a laugh here.

Thanks for the info. What about the lighting? Looks like there where 3 light sources?

[jefzilla]

Steve...I just used window light; one was to her left, then 2 more were somewhat on her right. Each window has a sheer white curtain, which makes them kind of like large softboxes. I shot it at 400iso, 1.8 @ 60sec.

Lavanut...that shot is great! That lil' pooper looks like he's sneaking into your room at night while you're sleeping to do God-knows-what...

Thanks. He's a sneaky one alright. His new trick is to pop the drain cover out of my bathtub while I'm at work and leave it in the hall. Don't ask me how or why...

This is my girlfriend, Alison's cat Bonnie... Had my camera out getting ready to go to her MBA graduation (Alison, not Bonnie) and grabbed this shot while all of us were hanging out in the bathroom...

Bonnie's brother, Clyde, is probably just as picturesque, but I've a lot of trouble catching him doing anything particularly cute. He's only truly photogenic when I don't have my camera with me!

Thanks for looking!

He was very lucky this instance, typically when they touch it involves teeth and nails lol.

If anyone here needs another way to waste time, check out the kitten cam at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/kitty-cam-2

It's a live feed from a shelter in LA. Right now they're sleeping, but when they're awake they're absolutely manic!

Thanks, I am always on the lookout for ways to waste time.

I just checked and they were all going full tilt -- romping, sneaking, pouncing, stalking, tumbling, jumping -- did I leave out anything?

[number six]

Chomping. On tails, ears, feet.

Here's Meiko talking to me. I swear, he replies to everything we say. I've never heard a cat "talk" so much in my life.

That's a great pic cgatto...love his expression & color. Great DOF too.

Very cute pic of Chloe too, Red. My cat wants to take her in & give her a bath (nothing sexual, just a paternal instinct I guess)...

:P

One of our cats does that as well - though we leave the plug in the soap holder, she grabs it from there and plays with it!

[cgatto]

My cat Meiko does the same thing! Our bath tub plug is full of claw and teeth marks. He also goes bananas over my girlfriends makeup brushes. We usually wake up to find her makeup sprawled on the floor, and the brush in the bathtub (which is where he likes to take things he knows he's not allowed to have). Sneaky buggers!
