Very well done Catman, you have those cats well trained to enter into the frame and pose at the right time.

One of your best shots with cat I have seen.

Very nice Rich I can relate we had to cover all the toothbrushes as one of our cats has found a taste for totthpaste. Very sharp and nice comp.

Wow, what incredibly sharp focus! This light box thing sounds like a wonderful tool. What impresses me most - besides the vibrant colors - is the variety of textural details.

That kitty is a most handsome little gal. Her expression is one of great intelligence and interest.

Colin, thanks, I really had no idea how to build a light box other than I knew the white anterior would reflect and disburse the light. I built this using masking tape a vinear poster board. I would like to build a bigger one but have no room for it. I also have many sheets of colored paper to create different affects.
Oh, Neosporin is a triple threat topical antibiotic cream that you may apply to cat scratches :) etc.

Well, one light has done a great job!
BTW, what is Neosporin ?
Richdow AKA Catman 18-Jun-2008 23:48
Carlo, you can do a lot with just one stupid 60 watt bulb screwed into a clip on reflector. I have three clip on reflectors but have never used more than one to light the subjects.
The light is almost always aimed up at the top of the box where it is defused softly back down on the objects back down.

Great shot Rich! The focus is spot on. I really need to make me a light box. I see how evenly the light is distributed onto the various objects and cat. Cats always want to know what you're up to. Gotta love them. I like this.

Bill you are very observant, I replaced the tooth past with the Neosporin just to see if someone would notice. You get the prize.

Rich,
Please don't brush your teeth with the Neosporin!
Very, very cool cat!
Guest 16-Jun-2008 18:10
Well, your white box has done a great job, the lighting is super, great control on the highlights.
Of course, the cat joining in makes the shot!

Everday objects + everyday curiosity = good stuff, Richard.

Shirley, this photo was taken in my white light box, not the bath area. All the cats are jealous of the attention I give the box. They see me with the camera near the white light box and they jump in the box to see what I have in there. When they see me outside the house with camera and they will start out for a walk to the lake.
