Laurie Parker's Project 366

[Laurie Parker]

Also taking part in this, I am hoping to take photos of random things which I normally wouldn't even think of taking

so For Photograph 1 I decided on a challenge of capturing the eyes of my Cat Saphie, and it was heck of a challenge she is one evil little mare!!

I think cats are built to challenge camera AF systems!

Nice job in capturing Saphie - did you have to bribe her with food?

 

[Laurie Parker]

Yeah this one is heck of a job to focus on because of her colour, I was kicking a little ball along floor for this, if you look in her right eye you can see my reflection im sitting on floor in order to get any kind of photo of her at all, so she was watching me kick the ball with my foot ,she really is a nightmare lol

 

[Dave Moss]

Great shot Laurie yes you are right cats are horrible to photograph black cats especially lol

 

[Darren Turner]

Awesome photo Laurie even though i dont like cats at all.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Like all moggies Laurie a total nightmare to shoot, nicely done this but she does look like she is a bout to give you what for

 

[Brian Moore]

I think this is a great shot. The brown bits of the eyes contrasting against the black of the pupils and also the black of the animal's pelt give this a really painterly quality for me.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Very well done Laurie!
Same as above, I'm not a cat fan (although in my name) but thats a cracker!!

 

[Laurie Parker]

cheers guys and yeah just after this was taken she swiped out at me with her claws she really is an evil mare lol
