Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo while visiting my sister-in-law in Palo Alto in California. This is Mocha a very shy and quiet cat. I was surprised, when I sat on the ground outside by the garage, that she let me take her photo. She had a very intense look, didn't want petting. I think she was intrigued by the camera.

Time

Late afternoon, just before 6 pm

Lighting

Nothing specific to share about the lighting. All natural light no reflectors.

Equipment

My camera is a Nikon D90, lens was 18-200 Aperture F5.6, ISO 800 at 1/40 sec, no tripod, no flash.

Inspiration

As I mentioned this cat was extremely quiet, not a lap cat for sure. I was curious to see if she would stay still long enough for me to snap the photo and she did. It took patience and persistence on my part to capture this beautiful Mocha cat.

Editing

Very little post-processing in Lightroom: clarity and colour adjustments

In my camera bag

I carry knee pads, reflectors, a few other lenses such as a 50mm, 80mm and a 70-300, a tripod and extra memory cards along with an extra charged battery.

Feedback

My advice is to lay low on the ground it is surprising what's down there. Cheers! Love VB ( :
