My Cat And The Chair


My cat likes the PC chair. It’s a leather PC chair that I have to protect with a wool blanket because it already got some scratches. Since there is a wool blanked on it, Shyna stopped to destroy the chair, because… you know, why would somebody want to destroy the own belongings? We were able to make an agreement. If I use the chair, it’s mine. If I don’t use the chair, it’s hers. So, whenever I am not on the PC, she is sleeping on the chair with the wool blanked. Sometimes there is an easy solution to solve … Continue reading My Cat And The Chair

Scratch The Ears


Here is a funny photo that I shot some time ago when I noticed that my cat Shyna did scratch her ears. Cats always look funny when they groom themselves. I ruffle the fur on her ears sometimes too, and since I started this, she does at times come to me and demands it. I know that because she is basically showing her ears like “Hey there, can you please scratch a bit on my ears like you did yesterday?”. Cats will notice it if you have more skills other than opening cat food cans (laugh). I hope you laughed … Continue reading Scratch The Ears

Shyna Portrait


Today I shot a photo of my cat Shyna with my Tamron 70-300 lens. It’s usually the lens that I use when I try to take photos of birds outside, but I noticed several times that it also can be very well used to take portraits. My cat did sleep in her small basket and I thought it would make a great photo, but she noticed it and woke up, but I like the photo anyway. I applied one of the filters in Analog Efex Pro 2, you can get it bundled with other cool preset tools if you download … Continue reading Shyna Portrait

Bored Kitty


Here is a photo of my cat Shyna again. She is quite bored this weeks since I can not play a lot with her due to my strain. But I tried to follow her and shot a photo in the floor, you really see her boredom. The boredom makes her unhappy, and at the moment she is grumpy and up for nonsense. I was bored too and loaded the image up in Lightroom and tried the free Nik Filter Collection. I used one of the Analog Efex Pro 2 filters from the filter collection and I like how it turned … Continue reading Bored Kitty

Testing The 50mm Lens With My Cat


It’s raining outside and that means I don’t want to test my new 50mm lens outside yet. But I tested this lens already inside, especially at f/1.8 to get a nice blurry background or shallow depth of field. The problem is however that depth of field can become too shallow sometimes. Well, this is actually not a problem, it’s rather one of the reasons why I wanted to get this 50mm lens. What I meant is, that I do now have to get used to different aperture settings, or to be more exact to control this and to learn when … Continue reading Testing The 50mm Lens With My Cat
