Location
In an outdoor restaurant in Jerusalem, my place of birth and spiritual home.Time
In the evening, after i had been asked to speak at a family event.Lighting
The sun was just setting, and it was during the golden hour, which in 'Jerusalem of Gold' is, well, magical. The light filtered through the white table cloth so it was eve further diffused.Equipment
Shot with A nikon D90 and a nifty fifty- nikon 50mm 1.8Inspiration
It was wartime in Israel, and earlier that day i spent time in a bomb shelter listening to missiles explode over head. We were eating at this family event, and this little kitty was trying to get scraps from the diners. The staff tried to shoo it away, but it kept coming back. Jerusalem has hundreds of feral cats, they are almost considered vermin. But in an isolated frame, its just a kitty. I also felt like focusing on the kitty would take my mind of the war and the pressure of speaking at this family event.Editing
Just a few light touch ups in Adobe Lightroom 3In my camera bag
My camera, two, lenses, a flash, and an extension tube.Feedback
Get down as low as possible, down the cats eyes level. The shift in perspective is HUGE. Move slowly, as feral cats are super cautious. Try a food bribe.
