Yoda is a grateful model, always ready to pose:









Original lighting


A different approach on WB





It has been a year since we rescued this bunch (mother and 2 newborns) so I made them a present. Here they are checking it out.














Padmé (the mother from above photos) was seriously abused before we rescued her and she was in really poor shape when we took her home. She's much better now, she's cheerful and all, but she's not what you would call a confident and relaxed cat. I think this portrait perfectly pictures her character.

Very Happy When they are not sleeping, I find cats to be difficult subjects. Especially indoors at close distance with a strobe. Sometimes I compare my results from year ago with what I'm capable of doing now. Even though I'm still the same weekend-photographer I was, I can clearly see that I've walked a long distance. I guess that's what you'd call: the experience Smile
