Location
This photo was taken in my home. Chelsea was curled up on the floor on top of a blanket that was cascading off of the couch. A note about the subject; Chelsea was a rescue cat that was having trouble being adopted because of only having one eye. I fell in love right away. She was the best cat ever. She died last month (June 2016)Time
It was late afternoon.Lighting
No special lighting other than the auto flash and windows in the room (behind the subject)Equipment
I shot with a Nikon 5500Inspiration
I had just purchased the camera and was taking practice shots. Believe me, she got tired of it after a while and got up and walked away.Editing
The only post processing was through Lightroom. I cropped and boosted the color. That was all that was needed.In my camera bag
I pack my Nikon 5500 with two lenses. I also have a Nikon cheat sheet. Other than that, nothing.Feedback
I used subject focus. Blurring the background so the subject stood out.
