Yesterday and early this morning, I decided to do a Simba "photo shoot". Well, Simba wasn't copperating very well, especially when I tried to get some natural light photo's. Everytime I'd try to get a picture, he'd move and since the shutter speed was so slow I'd get blurred images or at best partial images. So, I finally gave up, and tried some pictures with the flash. It's been a long time since I've taken pix of my kitties, because I misplaced my camera. The other day I took some of SunLee who cooperated quite well. I still have to take some pix of Shane and Angel.

Anyway, here is some of the pix from Simba's photoshoot. The first 3 are the natural light photo's and 1 is very blurred.



I kind of like this one, even if it wasn't what I wanted.


This one could have been nice, had he stayed still


This one was taken with the flash. Kind of over exposed


I caught him talking to me, here.


Here he is straddling the top of the couch, knocking off pillows.


That's all I'll put up for now. I don't want to make the thread too slow to open. If you like I can put some more up later.

I don't know if your camera has the feature, but when taking photos of the kitties I always have mine set to take three in a row so if they move, you generally get one decent pic out of the three.
He does seem very energetic!

No, my camera doesn't have that feature. I wish it did.

Energetic is an understatement when describing Simba. He's a handful and a half. This boy is in to everything, basically non stop.

I've never seen him angry. He's a sweet EXTREMELY playful boy. He's as naughty as a cat could be. He wasn't angry in that picture. It's just how he looks sometimes with the flash. He's really a sweetheart, but in every way, a typical Bengal. I call him Simba the Zulu Warrior, and my little Monkey Man, and sometimes Buzzard, although I don't know why I call him Buzzard. Probably because he watches the other cats for an opportunity to pounce on them.

More like all nonsense! I do love his beautiful eyes. Pictures don't do them justice. You have to see him in person to really see the beauty of his eyes.

Hope, great new pics of Simba. He certainly does have a devilish look about him. I know the look well, I see it here often.

Simba has some awesome eyes, a very desireable trait that many bengals don't have.
