A Little Background on my Cat
He's the snuggliest, hungriest, least camera-shy cat I've ever had. It's hard to explain these things, as cat lovers know, but he has an unusually big heart. He tries to be helpful. When my godson was a baby, George used to sleep just outside the open nursery door. When the baby started to cry in the middle of the night, George would rouse himself and run into the room of whichever adult was on duty nudging and meowing his call to action.
What Were the Circumstances of the Photo?
George was lying on his back, grooming himself and hamming it up for the camera. In this photo, he's between licks of his paw-- that's why his tongue is sticking out and his paw is in the air. I photoshopped this pupil because is came out glowing yellow, which is not the real color of his eyeball!
Tips and Tricks
- I used a Cannon Elf, but I can't remember anything else about the camera or the lighting. I took this shot a while ago. I had to touch up his pupil. It came out yellow somehow.
