So ..MD.. said colour is the future! Another one added

[Yv]

Lens distortion

He won't be winning any beauty contests with this pose, but will keep trying for a more flattering one

I was using the background for something entirely different, but saw red and had to get the pets involved.

 

[gumbo-67]

ok Boss where did the cat come from??? or am i being dum.. but also how the heck do you get them to stay still??

 

[Yv]

Biscuits for one, good luck for the other [hence the one crappy pose before he legged it] - cat recent addition to Mucky Mansions, meet Mumble, bit soft daft tomcat

 

[gumbo-67]

oh me oh my.. new cat with them 2.. great shots.. you have napped the room haven't you???

 

[hashcake]

Love #1 Yv, I've taken lots of shots like this of my dog.
I like the distortion, what lenss did you use?

 

[Yv]

Yes Terri

Darran thats the siggie 24-70, at 24mm end and about 15 inches from her nose, hence the exaggeration on her face

 

[Yv]

Yeah, got him - the backdrop paper has a good helping of cat fur too, but at least we can see him in this one.

 

[Nod]

Poor little boy cat being made to wear a red collar and bell! Nice looking cat though and well done on keeping him still. It's easy getting ours to stay still but unlikely she'll have her eyes open!

Mumble looks positively evil in that first shot...something is in his sights.

Your Jack Russel looks adorable, those ears are just so cute

 

[Yv]

Funny thing is, Mumble doesn't have an evil bone in his body, he is the softest most stupid cat I have ever come across, so i suppose the camera does lie

Nod - the bell is to keep the birds a bit safer, he is apparently a lousy birder, but until we are sure that is the case.....


oh and another Thimble

Nice shots. How did you manage to 'arrange' the backgrounds?

[DemiLion]

Nice shots. How did you manage to 'arrange' the backgrounds?

John

By doing an awful lot of hovering!!

 

[Sony Andy]

The first cat picture is hilarious!

Really like all of the shots, particularly the second dog shot.

 

[Yv]

Nice shots. How did you manage to 'arrange' the backgrounds?

John

'arrange'? Its a roll of red poster paper hung from a back drop stand and down onto a table under subject and a single flashgun off camera and through a 26in octabox diffuser, if thats what you mean?

And yes, lots of hoovering

The first cat picture is hilarious!

Really like all of the shots, particularly the second dog shot.

Thanks Andy, glad you like them

 

[Viking]

Yes, that's what I meant. i.e. before you press the button - check the background.
