New set of kitty portraits

Decided to pull out my camera, lights, & backdrop and take some portraits yesterday.

the pics are soooooo nice, thanks for posting them :wink:
they all look really great :y_the_best:

 

Great pics! However did you manage to get them to pose?

 

Okay there is just way too much cuteness here! :mrgreen: What kind of camera do you have? Your pics always look terrific.

 

Awesome pictures! The cats are beautiful.

 

Thanks.

I just set everything up on my bed. They love laying there anyway so it wasn't that difficult. Emily was probably the hardest because she has sensitive eyes so I have to be careful how I position the lights (2 500w halogen lights on stands). I also have a tripod & shutter remote for my camera so I don't have to run back to the camera every time I snap a shot.

It's a Nikon D70 and I was using a Nikon 18 - 70mm zoom lens.

All your cats are so beautiful!

 

Wow, your photos are stunning! :y_the_best:

 

Beautiful pics thanks for sharing

 

I just love that yawning pic of Toonces....sooo cute :mrgreen:

 

Gorgeous!! Every time I get out the camera to try to get a pic of Rudie, she immediately stops whatever adorable pose she was in and does something obnoxious :roll: Or she tries to grab the camera strap. I got one good pic of her with my Big Kid Camera (a Canon), but the flash was off and sometimes that makes the lighting wonky.

 

Your pictures are beautiful, t_chelle. Do you do it professionally?
thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks.

I've considered doing pet portraits professionally, but don't have plans any time in the immediate future (I live in a crappy little town in the middle of nowhere so there's not much demand). But I'm planning on moving to Vegas in a couple years so I bet there would be a market there.

I'm also trying to get into freelance photography and have already had a few photos published.

Wow! Those are great! I love the green backdrop with Toonces' eyes. What would make Sabrina (solid black) look good when I take her pic? She always looks terrible but she's usually on the sofa or carpet and it's all tan.
