Talking Strike a pose

Here are some pictures of my roomates cat I took yesterday night.

Lighting: 1 500watt hot light with cat placed inside softbox with blue backdrop then bribed with treats.

Nice shots and my favourite would have to be the BW picture of the cat. I liked it alot because of the nice and exact symmetry of the entire picture. Great.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone.

Peep: She actually liked the soft box for some reason. She pretty much just sat there the whole time. I put the jacket on her only for a little bit. Working so close to a 500watt bulb can be really hot. I put the jacket on for the last few shots. My roommate got her two jackets yesterday. This sweater was one of them. Maybe tonight I will take pictures of her in the puffy jacket she has that is pink. The jacket has a fuzzy collar too, she looks like a queen in it.

These are really great, those whiskers are so sharp. I'm not much for cat pictures but these definitily stand out.

I like the second one the best, I think. The focus on her eyes just draws you in.
