Location
I took this photo indoors while visiting my family. Nala the kitten is a new addition and I wanted to meet her.Time
This shot was right before dinner around 5 p.m.Lighting
Nala and I were sitting right next to an open window. There was also harsh yellow light from an overhead fan.Equipment
I used my Canon Rebel T3i and my hand to hold Nala up into the window light.Inspiration
I am a cat nut. Whenever anyone gets a new kitten I try to capture photos of their antics.Editing
Due to the indoor fan's light the picture was more yellow than it is now. I did minor color correction so that Nala's fur would still be close to her actual coat color.In my camera bag
I always bring my phottix flash and Canon 50mm lens.Feedback
Capturing kittens at play is fun but difficult. Have patience and don't be afraid to play get the shot.
