@Lizanne - the secret to photographing your cats is food Get everything ready, sit down, food in bowls, call them & snap away. Good luck, hope that works for if you haven't already tried it a million times
@Betsy - love your photos, especially the first one. Just love that bauble with the lights in the background.
@Lavina: I have tried that - have even put down a plate of catnip as well (figuring it might get them to chill out) - but, alas, nothing has worked. They were jumpy cats when we got them 2 yrs ago (at age 2), from a house where little kids terrorized them; and despite having them for almost 2 yrs now they're still jumpy, though they've calmed down an awful lot.
This is really late, but these were my favorite images from this past Christmas. The dark ones were with a tutorial I found on pinterest. Your settings will have to be to allow the most light in, and you take the picture with all the lights off except the Christmas tree lights.
Love those light photo Tiffany!
Tiffany, he sure looks like a good sport! Cute pics!

@Tiffany - very funny photos lol
Thank you Lavina! And thanks for the cat food tip! My kitty is a very reluctant model most of the time.
