April has seen us show off so many of our friend’s portraits so I thought I would finish off the month with a roundup of Parade Posts and a few lovely cat portraits.

Pet Parade Spring

Our first April post highlights how close-ups can focus our attention on markings. Yes, your camera will take close-ups, no matter how basic it is.

    Love the close-ups! Oh, Miranda looks just like our beautiful not-so-feral-anymore Binx! I actually just took a photo of him today where I composed it with him walking in front of our blooming bright pink azalea bush! Love composition and close-ups! <3

    Those are all lovely close ups. I was lucky with Flynn as he loved to pose for the camera. If Eric saw the camera he would either rush towards it or turn his back. Unless I caught him unawares, the majority of his photos were taken with the zoom.

    I’ve enjoyed seeing all the great close-up shots and learning more from this month’s challenge. Betty, Chenzou, Miranda, and Harvey Button all look gorgeous today. 🙂

    I think one of the most challenging things, composition-wise for me is that it isn’t always possible to “stage” the cats at the shelter. I’m often limited to certain angles and backgrounds, so I often end up taking what I can get, or contorting myself or crawling on the floor in an attempt to show the cats at their best.
