National Kitten Day
July 10th is National Kitten Day!
This day was created to raise awareness about adopting kittens and cats from shelters and rescue organizations.
I don’t get many requests for cat photography.
I guess with a name like BARKography, it’s not an obvious choice.
I do occasionally get asked though and it is fun. It’s totally different from photographing dogs but it is fun.
Here are 3 tips for photographing cats:
Be very patient. Most cats don’t know commands so you may have to follow the cat around to get photos of him.
Get low to the ground. Have the camera/phone near the ground so it’s down at his level.
Use a cat toy to peak his interest. This could be a ball or one of those fishing pole type toys. (I have no idea what they’re really called but you know what I mean, right?) Using one of these can help create some action photos of your cat.
For all of the cat lovers out there, enjoy National Kitten Day!
