Others Cat's Eye

[Sparkle2232]

Out of all my macro photos, This is the one I'm most proud of! I'm still a beginner, and I have no idea how to use photoshop to edit my photos, though that is something on my new year's resolution! If you have any feedback, Id love to hear it! I apologize for it being slightly off-center, The original photo was a tad too big to be uploaded

Hi ^^ it's hard to take picture of eyes.
Try to stay out of the reflection,
You must open arround F/8 minimum to get all clear.
Do not use flash because the cat will close the eye before the shot

Try to get the focus on the center of the eye ^^

Do not hesitated to get a larger frame.





Good luck Sparkle2232

Thank you for the feedback! My camera Is very old and has been having issues with settings, so I’ve been doing everything on auto w/ manual focus . I also don’t use flash cuz I don’t wanna hurt my poor kitty’s eyes. A bit off topic, those photos are beautiful!

Don't worry Sparkle2232 , you can do it ^^ Manual focus is good, but not easy to use with a cat

I fully agree to Greg regarding reflections and flash light. Your pictures looks really good and pulls the viewers eye to the eye of the cat.

I really like it.

Maybe it looks like there's a flash, but It's just the window behind me haha, but thanks for the kind words!
