Ok they're not all in black and white. I tried to make this one feel like an oil painting. Rich shadows and coloured. I'm really proud of it.

Mission accomplished! You really outdid yourself here. It totally looks like an oil painting. Your use of light and shadow is very professional. You could give those professional cat photographers a run for their money. I'd pay you to take pics of my crew in a heartbeat!

Me too!! very pro!

Brilliant photos! The B&Ws really "tell a story" which is one of the things I love aobut B&W. When the color is not there to dazzle the eye, you get the opportunity to see the "personality" of the subject.

Your "oil painting" is absolutely beautiful!

Wow she is a beautiful cat. Glad you shared the pics of her with us.

troublesome2 - I've wanted to get some of the photos printed large and framed but.. well, see my apartment is filled with cat stuff (scratching posts and toys) and if I were to add photos of Nikita to the wall (in addition to her being very prominent everywhere, she sniffs all visitors and sits on top of the TV etc.) I'd definately look a bit more "mad cat lady"-ish than I already do. I'm thinking of having them printed in a photobook though so I can look at the better once big and printed.

tiffany - Oh wow! That's a huge compliment, thank you. I've never gotten money for my photos, I just love cats (and photography)

clixpix - Yeah black and white is a lot of fun to play with.

Tavia'smom - thanks!

I've not been able to take any new photos since the last batch but here are a few kitten photos of her. So voila! baby Nikita.

Not a fantastic photo from an artistic point of view, but it's from my first full day with her (the morning after the trip to get her from her breeder) and look at her paws!



She was so tiny back then. It's easy to forget. She has also darkened a lot.
Anyway baby Nikita + featherstick =

















a few days later and the feather stick was more of a stick than a feather stick.

wow she is beautiful... and your phtography is really great to for a Amatuer. I would Def pay you for shots like that of my girls.. capturing their personalities on film. Nikita is so pretty Siggav. She is so regal looking..

Wow! Nikita is absolutely stunning and your photography is brilliant. I really, really enjoy your photos. So artistic and beautiful! Definitely keep them coming!

Wow! Your pictures are stunning! What a gorgeous cat! She looks so healthy and the shine on her coat!

I have the same camera but I`m still learning to use it properly

Wow, very nice pics! Nikita must bring a lot of fun into your daily life.

It's amazing how owning a cat can bring out the photographer in people. I had a cat, also named Nakita, who recently passed away. I never owned a camera until she came home with us. Then, I couldn't stop taking pictures of her! I just finished moving all her pictures to an external storage area and it took me a very long time. I'll now have to find another subject to focus on, but haven't picked up the camera in a while.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful girl with us. I really enjoyed the pics.

tjwharton24 - Thank you. I've been heavily into photography for several years now but I'm learning all the time. It's really nice to share my Nikita photos with other people that like cats. It's so much fun trying to capture her personality through the photos.

Mollysmom - Thanks! there's a few more coming now

Jaffacake - I'm still learning about my camera. I don't think you ever finish learning about photography which is quite good I have to feed Nikita very high quality cat foods, she has a sensitive stomach. A very nice side effect is a glossy shiny coat

Russian Blue - She really brings a lot of fun into my life and yeah it's really a lot of fun taking pictures of cats. I take lots of non-cat photos but I'm not posting these here for obvious reasons. I hope you'll find another subject to focus on and I'm sorry to year you lost your cat.

I had a very nice weekend this last one and took lots of pictures.

I've got my eye on you


I love her tail in this one more of a trunk than a whip, heh..


Trying to get it


Got it!


SPROING!!


She got hold of a toilet roll...

She is just GORGEOUS!! More pictures, please!!

Awww! She's so pretty! Is she just tabby? What breed is she?

She's a brown spotted bengal cat. Bengals are great cats. Very active, playful and fun. Can be quite a handful but it's all worth it

The theme for this post. Portraits!

For she is Ruler of the Known World (which in her case is pretty much my apartment)





Her Highness is not amused


A softer portrait

You do this professionally, right? If you don`t you should do because they are amazing pictures.
Have you ever submitted them to magazines or anything?
They are so crisp and clear! do you use a tripod? I think I need to get one as a have a big problem keeping my hands still enough

WOW!!! She is just stunning!!! What a gorgeous bengal!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

What a beautiful girl!

All of your photos are gorgeous as is Nakita! I really want a bengal now.

Siggav,
Nikita has such gorgeous whisker pads. I love the more rounded pads like that of Maggie and Nikita. I really love her darker color. her eyes are stunning. Nikita is one of a kind. beautiful baby.. the new pics are amaizing. I am now looking into a digital nikon. so my pics are as brilliant as yours.
