It takes a bit of timing to get some shots just right – dealing with the delayed press of the camera button on taking and saving the digital image – to getting the feline subject to be looking in the right direction just as the picture is taken.

One trick I do is when I am ready to take the shot (and often starting to press the shutter button) I make a small pop or hiss noise with my mouth or click my fingers just above or near the lens or direction I want the cat to face.

If they stare long enough I can then capture nice detailed shots – if they keep moving I just get more blurry pics.

It’s a challenge trying to get a good photo of a homeless cat in order to help with their rehoming – tried a few attempts to get a nice clear shot.

This turned out to be the clearest shot I got along with nice wide open “awww” eyes.

(It’s since been rehomed by the way – so no need to panic)
