Cats

Cute cat!

In the first picture the exposure of the animal looks good to me, but in the second it's a little grey. The cat's eyes seem a little out of focus in the second picture too.

I'm happy to see that you got right down on the ground to take the shot - you catch the animal from a cat's perspective, instead of that of a human.

My main suggestion for improvement relates to the cat's pose - in both cases it looks a little uncomfortable, rather like the cat is moving from one position to another. I would stick around on the ground a bit longer and see if it settles down and looks straight into the lens.

When I try that with my dog he comes right up to me and licks the lens...

Geir,

I agree with Shaun's comments. I take a lot of cat pictures since I have quite a few opportunities. My wife is a cat lover.

Also the idea to get up close and at ground level make for some good shots. The G1's swivel LCD make this a lot more practical than laying on the ground trying to look through a viewfinder.

Here is a photo that shows this perspective.

In both pictures I ended up with an out of focus cat because my camera (G1) decided to focus on something I didn't think it would, and I forgot to check...

But for down on the ground type shots, I just love the flip-out LCD ... just set the camera down, but you don't have to get all muddy just because you want to see what is going on...
