Behind The Lens

Location

At home sat on his mums walker as he often did,moving from tom to room I took this photo in window light on a overcast day.

Time

Midday with defused overcast sky day

Lighting

As I wanted to show the best three dimensional feline face I waited until my wife was coming 45 degrees from the window.

Equipment

Shot some years before I got a DSLR with a Fujifilm bridge camera,sadly not sure of the settings used.

Inspiration

I wanted to remember this moment in time as he sat with such love and devotion to his mum,he loved traveling around the house with her on her walker,it was just Ollie to a tee.

Editing

I did post process a little blurring the background a little to draw attention to his lovely face,but not so much you can't make out part of the walker.

In my camera bag

Now days Nikon d600 body,Nikon 50 mm f1.8 d Nikon 80-200 mm f2.8 lenses.

Feedback

Get to know where and when your pet or subject is ,get camera ready with whatever lens you have set at a smallish aperture,don't go too small less than f4 otherwise parts of the face can be out of focus and always focus on the eyes.
