Ugh! Enough cats already! People are going to start thinking us camera junkies are a bunch of pussy cats!

This isn't my favorite picture, but maybe it'll break the link!

It looks like they're relaxing after their cat-salad lunch! Well, here's their afternoon snack...

These were taken with a mere Kodak Easyshare Cx7530 with the ISO bumped a notch.

Hi

Just had to add this photo as my white cat. He looked just like your white kitty when he was younger and much naughtier - at first glance I thought it was him. I am not sure whether I should have added the soft focus edit but the colours seemed to be taking over the shot. Both cats are stone deaf so attempting to attract their attention whilst shooting is almost impossible. I just go with the flow and follow their lead.

Does anyone have any ideas of improving pictures of white animals that obviously lack much natural contrast. Flash seems to make things worse. I experience that same problems with the few swan photos I have taken.

Thanks
Wombat
PS comments for this novice very much appreciated

PPS Sorry the image is "shouting" I am not sure why it is so large - so much to learn.

PPPS Think I have got the image size sorted now - Doh.

Hi Bluegrassgirl

I used the soft focus edit on Picasa2 - free editing software that can be downloaded from the net.

I am pleased you enjoyed the photo and thanks for your photo. So many white cats about ;-)
