It’s time for the photo post roundup for friends who have missed some of my earlier posts for August.

I covered four fascinating topics in August.

  • Tabby cat portraits
  • Black cat photography and my progress at Dash Kitten
  • Getting close to your cat for great pictures
  • Before you even take a picture. I have a read this post!

August Photo Post Roundup

A Tabby Cat Portrait

I took a series of pictures of Dot Kitten who is a brown tabby cat. She is Dash Kitten’s sisfur and for a while lived in the shadow of his powerful personality. Here she comes into the limelight.

Black Cat Photography Progress

To celebrate Black Cat Appreciation Day I reviewed how my skills had improved at taking black cat pictures, thanks to the magic word – ‘practice’. There are some much improved images on this post as you will see and I offer advice on things I have learned.

Practical Advice for New DSLR Users

This is the kind of advice I wish I’d had when starting to use my DSLR and my compact. It gives you sensible advice and some silly stuff to make you smile.

It is a must-read if you feel paralysed by worry that you might ‘get it all wrong’. The post will encourage and inspire you to make a start.

    We have all kinds of cats at the shelter, so I get lots of practice with different colored kitties, challenging lighting, and less than ideal backgrounds. It’s a fun challenge!
