Beautiful!
Posted on March 29, 2011 in Animals, Pet Photography
I’ve yet to learn to recognize all of the different breeds of cat. I’ve been to many cat shows over the years and have seen a lot of different breeds. The problem is placing a breed with a name. I think it would be a whole lot easier if more of the judges at the cat shows would talk about the cats that they are judging. This would go a long way in helping the spectators to learn and understand. I do realize, however, that they are busy concentrating on doing their job. This is a very beautiful cat with gorgeous black rimmed green eyes. The lighting at the show hall was very good on Sunday and so I was able to photograph at 800 ASA without a flash and still achieve some DOF. I really love the light background on this image and no, this was not added in Photoshop. The only adjustments to the original were to add some contrast and a levels adjustment.
Beautiful indeed! Love those eyes. I would have never guessed that this was taken at a cat show!
I actually chose which show ring to sit at based on the color of the clothing that the judge was wearing and how long they were handling the cats! 🙂
Hahah! Very clever!
