paintlady101 (Premium member) > albums > The beauty of Black & White Picture...

Album Info:

Self portrait with my bestest buddy - Gus. I was trying to capture how he is with me most days - when he's in his lovie dovie mood. Wasn't easy making eye contact with the cat and making sure camera was in the right spot too! Note: his loving mood changed after several attempts and flashes of the camera! I didn't capture the moment when he swatted me in the head...lol Picture details: Taken with Canon Rebel XTi. Settings: AI Focus, Evaluative Metering, WB: Cloudy, (P) mode, flash on, ISO 100 - used 18-55 kit lens. Photoshop details: Cropped original image, converted to B&W, adjusted midtones, shadows & highlights slightly and smudged out distractions in the background.

  • A truly fantastic shot of you and Gus! It is not easy capturing cats in poses you want, they always have their say in how it's going to turn out! Usually a swat on the head or a fast blur in motion. Gus is a Sweetie and you are lovely, very simply a lovely photo! Kind Regards, Ginny

  • Methinks, in my next life, I'm coming back as a kitty.. Look at the wonderful opportunities they have to be 'home alone' and have nose to nose's or 'tete a tetes' with beautiful women! Umm.. oh yeah.. back to earth.. Super lovely photo Renee :-) I can't imagine how you got him to sit through all that.. but it was worth every itty bitty treat he got :-)
