Location
This photo was taken of our family cat as she was relaxing in our lounge.Time
It was taken around mid-day which gave excellent lighting.Lighting
I used natural light from the patio doors behind her.Equipment
The shot was taken with my Canon Eos 30d, with no extra flash.Inspiration
I wanted to get a great close up of her to capture her timid nature and beautiful markings.Editing
No processing was done to the shot.In my camera bag
I usually carry a macro lens, a 27-55, a 55-200 and a 75-300. A separate flash unit. Lens pen, extra batteries and a uv and a skylight filter.Feedback
Pay attention and make use of the natural daylight, try the shot from different angles to see how the lighting changes the subject. I find it takes a little patience, observing the subject to wait for the perfect composition or expression. It's important to relax and enjoy it as the subject will also relax.
