Portraits on a Tuesday

The long weekend allowed for some excellent portrait taking opportunities. I, 9, made sure to put on my best contemplative face for the camera.

Chani did her best with a slightly winsome, secretive grin whilst gazing off into the distance.

Sheamus Popoki went with the focused stare.

Big Flashy Box Portraits

After many months of only using my cell phone to take photos, I finally took photos with my 'real' camera. I'm quite pleased with the results. 9 was peeking from the empty box that I have left in the hallway for him. He likes to sit in there and observe me, Chani or Sheamus Popoki. I think he knows how cute he is sitting in the box and does it to attract my attention. Not that he needs to do much to attract my attention.

My only problem with using my camera is that I often over expose my photos. Too many hot spots. Ah well, at least Chani's distinctive face markings and beautiful eyes provided some incredible detail and contrast. Her pink nose too.

And now, I present to you, Sheamus Popoki's official portrait. This photo really captures my sensitive boy's features and eyes. He looks a little sad, a little dreamy and just plain handsome. I'm always amazed at how much emotion a cat can show in his or her eyes.

Love these three very very much

Wordless Wednesday

Wednesday Portraits

Portrait time again

I really need to work on getting better using my flash.  I can trace the pattern of light when I take flash photos.  At any rate, here are my sweetie kittens.

9 and Chani are now big enough to hop up onto the tops of bookshelves and tv stands.  Of course, they are now causing havoc with everything stored up there.  Sigh...  I think I'm going to have to invest in a proper display case that has doors so these two can't get into my little display items.
