In my previous posts, I talked about a cat gang with three members. I showed you one of them in this post, and I also showed you the boss of the gang. Well, and now you know the third member because it’s the cat in the picture above. I think I could get a really nice close-up cat portrait and it’s a beautiful looking cat. What do you think? Continue reading Beautiful Garden Cat
The title of this post is maybe a bit exaggerated, but I called it “Battle-scarred Tuxedo” because the cat in the photo above looks like it was involved in a brawl or two. The nose looks battered, and it appears like the cat has some kind of battle scar below one of the eyes. Also, this cat doesn’t exactly make the impression to be welcoming. It rather looks like a mad cat. It also walked confidently straight into my direction. I think this cat is the boss of a gang because there have been three cats on the same garden … Continue reading Battle-scarred Tuxedo
I walked through the garden areas again today, with the same intention as the previous days. I wanted to find more cats and I wanted to photograph them. I found the cat in the picture above and it let me get pretty close. So, I could get a close-up photo but I am somewhat sad about the distracting plant stem near the left eye. But you can’t always get your photos right or as you want them. But I got a few other photos of this cat. The cat jumped through a hedge, into one of the garden plots. Now … Continue reading Another Day, Another Cat
Above is another cat photo I shot today. I saw this small and cautious kitten in a garden plot and it allowed me to take a photo. But you can see how cautious the kitten was. The plants are sadly a bit distracting but I really wanted the photo of this small kitten and I think it’s not too bad. Today I got a few photos that fit into my cat photo collection. Maybe I will do this again the next day. It’s actually pretty funny if you challenge yourself to take photos of just one subject, like I did … Continue reading Cute Kitten
Today I attempted to take a photo of a black cat that sat there on a small path in the gardens. But this cat didn’t give me much time to take photos and disappeared in the hedge. There was a woman in one of the gardens and saw my attempt. I wondered if it would be her cat and I said: “I tried to get a photo, this cat is pretty shy”. She replied that this is true and that it’s not her cat. She mentioned that this is a stray cat but it comes for a visit once in … Continue reading A Stray Cat In The Garden
Today I challenged myself again to take new cat photos. The garden areas are great for that. I already tried the same yesterday and I got a really nice close-up photo of a beautiful ginger cat. But that doesn’t always work because not all cats let you come close and my 70-300mm lens won’t help me either if I am too far away. Some cats are shy or cautious and prefer it if you keep your distance. I found one that absolutely didn’t want me to come closer. I got a photo, but it was shot from the distance and … Continue reading Keep Your Distance Human
