A cat ACTION shot - excellent!! How did you set this up?? A great idea - I need to work on some action ideas with my kitties too. Good one, Jean!

Thanks, Terry and Mary-Ella! ...usually, around midnight, the cat be-witching hour, I round up any willing participants out of my 4 kitties, and play, play, play with them on the studio table while simultaneously shooting them....if I could find another playmate/wrangler, it would be a lot easier, or maybe a mechanical toy would fill the bill?

I still dont' know how you get half of these shots (especially all on your own)! This action one is incredible!! Love the open mouth and how he's coming at you!

Thanks, everyone! I am still working on nailing exposure and sharpness with some of these studio type shots. This one could have been a lot sharper throughout instead of where the paw grabs the toy, yet with such a wide open aperture to get more light and freeze the action better, it sometimes isn't possible. Any suggestions on how to accomplish my goals with some studio strobes (at midnightish) would be totally welcomed!

Hi Jean! Increase the ISO setting then you can use a smaller aperature (or higher # F stop) for a better depth of field while keeping a faster shutter speed!!

Terry, thanks, I will try that again..though if I remember correctly, then I have to contend with a lot of graininess. (Also my camera is going to have to go back to the factory AGAIN....as it's getting an error on startup so not sure what it is affecting) Back to the drawing board, will keep you posted!

You Will Get Grain If You Go Past A Certain ISO And It Also Depends On What The Image Is Intended for (IE Large Blowup Or Say a Image For Better Photo)You Will Be Suprised At The Clarity Lets Say At ISO 400 The Newer Cameras Are Much Better Than You Think!!The Old School On Film Cameras Would Produce Less Than Desirable Outcome At This Type Film! Give It A Test It Wont Cost You A Thing (The Joys Of Digital)!!

This is amazing! I don't know how you are getting your cat to be where you want it. How? I mean, you're playing with the cat on the table, and is the camera on a tripod, using a cable release? But then how do you focus, and what about seeing the shot in the frame as you click? I'm really interested, because I've been trying to get interesting pictures, or really just any good pictures, of my cat, but she's difficult to shoot as she'll go where she wants, or when I'm playing with her, I just can't get what I want in the camera.
