Farmer’s Cat


This photo was shot in May 2016 when I was in Reinfeld. I saw this cat on a farm, which is why I thought it belonged to a farmer. I guess you will agree with me when I say the cat looks battle-scarred. It’s a dirty cat and it has open wounds. Maybe it got into fights with other cats or animals like foxes. Maybe it got infections too but one thing is sure, it appeared sick-looking. Continue reading Farmer’s Cat

Tooth and Nail


Weeks ago when I walked through the garden area, I saw this tabby cat on top of a fence. It chewed on a nail. I question that this is good but hey, what can you do, it’s a stray cat. I converted the image to black and white as there was a very distracting shadow. The shadow is still there in black and white but a lot less distracting as I have chosen a rather light black and white variant. Generally, the photo just worked and looked a lot better in black and white. Continue reading Tooth and Nail

City Cat


Saw this cat today when I walked through the historic district of Lübeck. While it might look dangerous with the parked car in the background, the cats in the historic district live a lot saver than any of the cats in the other districts. Why?

There are some streets with exceptions but overall there is a lot less traffic compared to all the other districts. Talking about the cat, I think it’s a beautiful calico cat. It was roaming around … Continue reading City Cat

A Thai Cat


Above is a photo that I shot two weeks ago. Both, the cat and I were surprised when we met each other on a small sandy garden alley. This was on my way out of the garden area but I experienced with photography that the best things can happen on your way back, which is why I suggest to not put your camera into the bag too early (and I think I should follow that suggested more often too). Anyway, in this case I had my camera still in my hands and I got rewarded with a nice photo of … Continue reading A Thai Cat

Tabby In Action


Some days ago I shot some photos of the cat you see at the top. It was friendly enough to let me take some photos. But when I attempted to get a bit closer, it ran away. I pressed the shutter button and took the photo you see here in this post. It was quite unsharp but I managed it to fix it a little bit in Lightroom but it’s still not the sharpest image. Anyway, I like it because it shows a energetic and agile cat. It’s highgly likely that it is the same cat I showed you in … Continue reading Tabby In Action
