I took this photograph of my cat - Zag. I took the picture as she was just about to close her eyes.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken at my home, in Zag's favourite spot to sleep.

Time

Taken during the day time, a perfect time for capturing a sleeping cat.

Lighting

I love how the lighting shone from my window onto Zag's fur, you can really see it on her paws in the foreground of the photograph. I only used natural lighting for this photo.

Equipment

I used my Panasonic bridge camera.

Inspiration

I wanted to capture a moment where Zag was just about to go to sleep or relaxing and I think I did a great job as I love the one eye open staring into the camera that I managed to capture.

Editing

I turned the original photograph into a black and white one adjusting the contrast in Photoshop.

In my camera bag

My camera, different filters and some chewing gum.

Feedback

Just have fun and take loads of pictures of your pets.
