I got a new camera and my cats have been patiently dealing with being in front of the camera nearly constantly.

Holy moly you lucked out. My guy Thorin looks like this in >90% of the pictures I take of him. Little crap head won't be still for more than 1/8000 of a second.

I love him but I wish I could get an actually good picture of him more often.

I love your kitty, so much energy.

I could DDOS Lemmy with all the bad photos of my cats I've got. I specifically got the 512gb version of my phone specifically because I knew it would fill up with cat photos.

Keep at it and eventually you will get some winners.

I did finally manage to get one stunner last year. My wife told me it could be his LinkedIn picture.

But these couple I got back in 2016 are the ones that never fail to make me laugh.

He's a funny dude. An orange through and through.

ooh, that is a fantastic photo. The orange fur really pops with the Grey couch.

That smirk! What charisma.

He's handsome and he knows it.

What lens are you using, the fall off is beautiful!

Thanks! It's a Samyang 85mm f/1.4 on my Fujifilm X-H2. I've been really happy with the photos it takes even if I have to practically stand in another room. I've got a Brightinstar 35mm f/0.95 on the way that I am REALLY excited for.

These really do look amazing, and massive respect for you being somehow able to manually focus on a cat!
