Description
This our family cat, Miss Kitty. She was so relaxed on this cold winter day that she actually put up with me as I setup a couple of photo lamps to get a better portrait of her. I mounted a macro lens on the camera and looked straight into her eyes. She is a very sweet creature and a wonderful furry friend.
The photo was taken with a Canon EOS 10D camera through a Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro prime lens at .3 sec @ f/2.5 with no flash. The ISO was set to 200. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a remote shutter release.

I apologize. Some of my friends had their work stolen through Pinterest, so I am avoiding the site until I am sure that their security is effective. Gene

Wonderful capture! Beautiful color, clarity and detail. You must have a lot of patience. I imagine cats aren't the most cooperative subjects. v/pinterest/fb
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very much, Eleanor! It took Miss Kitty a while to get accustomed to the camera. Now she puts up our short photo sessions, occasionally. Kindest wishes, Gene

Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very much, Oksana! Miss Kitty truly is a one-of-a-kind cat. She was a stray kitten who adopted our family as her own, when she was very young. She stayed on our back porch until we decided to welcome her into our home permanently. That was 13 years ago. She enriches our lives every day. We are so thankful that she chose us to be her "people". Kindest wishes, Gene

Gene, I've felt via yr great image straight this remark in yr reply: "she decides that it has taken up enough of her precious time". lol

Great capture abt Miss Kitty one of the perfect creatures of God. Eye contact, attention - you love yr cat very much and she admires you, Gene. Her strong individualism is to be felt at the same time - it came across. v/f
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very kindly, Zsuzsa! Miss Kitty never liked my camera anywhere near her before this session. Now she accepts being photographed, but only under her own terms. She is OK with quick photo sessions, with no flash, that end as soon she decides that it has taken up enough of her precious time. Kindest regards, Gene
