Ms. Paws is getting so big now...seems like just yesterday she was just an itty-bit, all legs and spots. This little girl will go to her first show at the end of the month. She has such big shoes(paws) to fill in the wake of Jack's success.

I got a few shots of her getting bengal-wild with a feather on a string...Matrix style.

She is gorgeous, as are all your cats.


But what I really, really, want to know, is what camera do you use? I have an ok digital but there is a bit of lag between pressing the shutter and taking the photo and I could never get shots like that! Most of my attempted action shots end up with carpet where the cat was 0.5 seconds ago
Serious question btw not joking, if we get a new camera I would like to be able to take shots of mine other than when he's asleep

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20.

To get these kind of clear shots you need to use "Shutter" priority mode on the camera and then set the shutter speed to about 1/250. (some manufacturers refer to this as "exposure") I also use the standard flash setting indoors so that the aperture gets enough light.

You might check if your digital has a "shutter" priority setting. Automatic and Aperture priority settings will usually result in blurry or missed images.

Ah thank you, I will try to find the manual! Digital cameras are great but a bit of a mystery in some respects as I am more used to using completely manual SLRs.
