Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken while my indoor cat Tibble, a Maine Coon/Ragdoll was looking out our kitchen window bird watching.

Time

It was a very clear sunny day and it was very warm outside considering it was February which is usually one of our colder months here in Canada but this year we were blessed with a very mild winter. The birds were also enjoying the day and definitely got Tibble's attention.

Lighting

The lighting through the window was as perfect as it could get.

Equipment

I captured this picture with a Canon EOS 70D, 18-135 IS STM lens without any other equipment used.

Inspiration

Tibble was nine months old when I took this picture and he was an extremely playful kitty and if he wasn't sleeping he was on the move. I found out early on to always have my camera ready to click at any given time and this time Tibble was absolutely still as he was watching the birds. He never flinched or moved and was frozen in time as he instinctively didn't want to scare off his prey. This gave me the precious extra few seconds I needed to grab my camera and snap a picture before he was flying around the room again.

Editing

I had very little post-processing on this picture to do. As most of the background was already fairly dark there was only a few areas around the outer edges that required to be darkened out.

In my camera bag

Being a fairly new beginner my bag at the moment is a bit sparse but I know this will change as I'm already looking at several other lenses and equipment that I would love to have. Along with my 18-135 IS STM lens I also have a Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM lens and UV and Polarizer filters

Feedback

Capturing pictures of your special indoor feline can be somewhat challenging and patience will definitely be a virtue. I'm always watching Tibble when he's playing, grooming, hunting for bugs, wanting cuddles or anything where he gives off different moments of himself. The most important advice I can give is to always have your camera close by and ready to go as your kitty will probably only give you a few moments to get that cute shot you've been wanting but when you do the feeling is amazing.
