Photographing a black cat with little, squinty eyes is REALLY hard, even with a good camera.
I finally got a good tip - hold some white paper in front of the flash to help diffuse the flash. Not only does it diffuse it, but it stops it being so bright in her eyes, so she doesn't blink and therefore ruin the photo.
So heeeeeere's the REAL Smudge! This is how her little eyes look on a normal day.
