Cape Cod Fat Cat



Introducing Cally the Cat. Cally lives on Cape Cod and eats very well at the b&b she protects.

I remember seeing this one framed and hanging on your wall. I really like this shot. You caught Cally in a very relaxed pose, and the soft window light gives the image a calm and relaxed mood.

THx. Yep, it's the one in the house. Wanted to let others see the little porker, too. It's a rather nice cat. Again, this was scanned from a negative. Looking at this photo and the flamingo photo, I think the ape bones pic had probs due to underexposure when I took the image & mucking around on Photoshop too much.

The lighting of the photo is great focusing on the cat's face. Looks like it could have been staged with the appropriate auxiliary lighting. The object on the window ledge is a little distracting and may look better without it. Otherwise a great shot.

Thx Benson. The small light on the ledge is a little distracting, but at the same time, I kind of like it. Gives a feeling that the b&b is old. On my photo at home, I noticed that I cropped it such that the light is right on the edge. It doesn't stick out as much.

I was going to mention the lamp as a distraction too. I was putting my hand over it to see if the image would look better without it. I figured that Eric wanted the lamp in the picture as part of the atmosphere/setting, so I decided not to say anything.

The fat cat seems to have made a dent in the pillow. Nice use of black and white. I also like the easy nature of the cat, allowing you to shoot the shot.

Thx Dolph. The cat was pretty nice, but it would keep you away w/the claws if it wasn't ready to play. The cat is pretty easy going in nature, however.
