Not a cat this time, but the furry faces of the Moroccan/Algerian Barbary Macaques of Monkey Forest in Trentham Gardens near Stoke.

The suns out and so is the cat. We joined him in the garden for a bit and he shrugged off his usual camera shyness for a few minutes. I knew the photo-shoot was over when the claws came out, all images shot on a D80 using Sigma’s 70-200mm f/2.8.

Your being stalked, you with the camera

There’s some more photos on my flickr set.

Unfortunately our cat is a little camera shy, so we have a few nice enough photos of him when he’s sleeping, but when he’s awake he’s no fond of a camera being pointed at him.

Managed to get a couple of shots this afternoon as he lay on the bed and also while Mel entertained him with some string. Shot with natural light through the bay windows (massive catchlights in his eyes that I both like and dislike – weird). There wan’t much light though so shot with ISO of 800 and upwards with 70-200 and kept aperture wide open (or near enough) at f/2.8 to f/4.

Tried to keep focus on eyes which is awkward with a cat in play or trying to close his eyes for a nap, hoping the human slave with the camera pointed at him will bog off and let him get some sleep.

Here’s one shot, not the sharpest but I like it anyway, other photos on a flickr set.
