    Did I read cats somewhere in this thread? Perfect idea, since I hadn’t had the chance this month to take the camera into the water. So this morning I had a little session with my cat Kaya. And yes @DawnatLLS cats are not the most cooperative subjects ;). And while Kaya looks quite relaxed, I was sweating carrying my housing and strobe (and snoot!) around the house, lol.

    Here it goes a full 10 pic session:

    1) All of Kaya with 90mm macro lense

    2) Close up

    3) Portrait with very low aperture

    4) Profile

    5) Wideangle (that did really not work out so well)

    6) Snooted cat with strobe (and a bit of reflection in the floor)

    7) Ear shot

    8) Tongue shot

    9) Cat eye, low aperture

    10) Snooted eye, high aperture

    After this, the subject had enough and was not cooperative in trying out any more techniques like backlighting, etc…
