What are the skills of shooting cats?

Owners who keep cats at home must want to keep every wonderful moment of their cats, but people who know cats also know that cats are Nocturnal Animals, and night is their craziest time. Although some domestic pet cats have lost this special biological habit, most cats still follow this life rule.

Therefore, the best time for cats to shoot is in the afternoon. Because the indoor environment and outdoor shooting effect will be very different, it is a good choice to use the telephoto end as much as possible, open the aperture as much as possible, and blur the messy background to make the theme more prominent.

Indoor shooting needs to use a flash, and how to light this flash is a problem. Because cats' pupils are different from people's, their eyes will change color if they are illuminated by a flash, which is what we often call "flowers". Therefore, when shooting cats, the flash must use reflected light, that is to say, the lamp head of the flash will shine upward toward the ceiling, and the purpose of lighting can be achieved by using the principle of light reflection. This way of shooting also brings another problem, the light intensity is not enough. Because the light is reflected back, some light will be lost in this process, so the brightness of the light will be greatly weakened and the exposure will be much less. At this time, it is necessary to readjust the exposure combination. Bian Xiao's experience is to increase the first aperture or slow down the second shutter speed under normal metering. For example, if the normal metering of the camera is F5.6 and the shutter speed is1125 seconds, then when using reflected light, you can adjust to the aperture F4, the shutter speed is1125 seconds, or the aperture F5.6 and the shutter speed is1. It is best to use the original flash, which has a fast callback speed and can flash several times in a row, so the success rate of shooting will be greatly improved.

Don't let go of the best model when you meet a kitten. When a cat is older, it will be alert to things, and it will be alert immediately if it is disturbed a little, but this problem rarely exists in kittens. When cats were young, they were interested in everything and played with everything they found. They don't care much about your existence. Especially when playing, they are often very focused and excited. If you make a little noise, they will immediately open their eyes and look around. What are you waiting for? Press the shutter!
