The cat's dream. This is Johnny, he is the youngest of 3 cats who are guests in my home. In the spring when the hummingbird feeder went up I caught him in the act of focusing his attention on them as they approached the feeder. He's sitting on the kitchen table with a birds eye view you might say :)

Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in the kitchen.Time
It was morning.Lighting
Even though I noticed this scene the night before taking the shot, the morning light shinning through the window amplified the cats reflection, so choosing to wait was, and is sometimes best.Equipment
This was taken on a Canon 40 D, with a standard 28 – 135 zoom.Inspiration
I simply found it fascinating just how patient and intrigued the cat was each time a hummingbird approached the feeder. This was something that happened on a continual basis, so how could I not take the time to do this. After all, life's moments often do make for the most interesting subject matter.Editing
The processing I do is highly intuitive and never really the same. The result I'm after is. It is my intention to recreate the feeling I had at that precise moment in time, and transfer that into the final result. I believe in keeping things as simple as possible.In my camera bag
My camera body, several lenes, an assortment of filters, extra batteries, a charger, lens cloth and an extra memory card.Feedback
Photography, while it might seem intimidating to some, in it's simplist form, is all about capturing light and manipulating light. Get to know your equipment and all the features and options you have available. Look at the various software editing programs on the market and pick a system that is right for you. Last but not least, keep it, and your photos simple, by eliminating elements that don't support your subject matter. From a foundational standpoint photography is all about learning the basics and mastering the basics and applying those skills to create something you'll be proud to share. For me I also have to say the words “Know Thyself”. Follow your fascinations despite what anyone else thinks because you never really know where they will lead you. If your really good at it, you may just find many treasures along life's path.
