This was a first for me, my work partner asked me to take some pictures of his new Bengal cat, Leo. It was an on location "assignment" so not knowing what to expect i brought way more stuff than i needed (again). I ended up shooting with only one Einstein strobe in a white umbrella with it's silver lining for added power. All taken with Nikon D3s - Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 at 200 iso 1/125th sec at f6.3. The main difficulty was to get the 24-70mm to focus, it had difficulty interpreting the subtle patterns in the cat's fur (then again my 24-70 always struggled for focus, especially in low light), then it was a bitch to keep an even rendition of colours across the series, although everything remained the same during the shoot. I attributed this again to the subtle differences in hue/colours of this still immature kitten and it's fur. Indeed some of the yellowish colour in the front part of his body would come out more at certain angles despite my very diffuse lighting. I'm still happy with the results for a 1st try that is.
The client insisted on these points: He wanted to see action, emotions and most importantly good enough shots to really show the attribute of the race; Colours, shape etc.
he saw the series and is very pleased with it, he knows me so he gave me permission to use them in forums such as this one before i even asked :-)
CC more than welcome.
