Photography tips for street cats

Some tips for getting better photos of street cats:

• Good light is important! Photograph the street cats at the early morning or the late afternoon if it is possible
• Try to catch light in the cat's eyes. Your photo will look much better
• Take a lot of photos - catch every movement and emotion of the cat.



• Look for one colored background. Green blurred grass (or leaf) background is always good. Or use fallen autumn leafs as a background.
• Try to get closer to the cat with food. The street cats will love you if you give them a little food.
• Try to photograph some action. Cats playing or cats fighting always looks good and unusual.
• Be at the same level as the cat's eyes unless you have something else in mind.
• Watch photos of street cats of other good photographers. See what makes the photo good. Think about how to make the photo better.
• Watch wildlife photos. Wildlife and street cat photography are not so different.
• Use telephoto lens for not disturbing the cat. You will take more natural photos.
• Be patient! The street cats need little time to habituate with you and your camera. In the beginning most of them will be scared. After 15-20 min photographing they will learn that you are not going to hurt them.
• Practice! As many pictures you do, as better you become.
