Yeah, but you haven't seen some of the ones I've taken and quickly deleted. :D

I do think I need a new camera, as I'm certain some phones take better pictures. Not my phone though. Course it's almost as old as my camera. ;)
The differences I'm seeing in my old and new phones is amazing. Updated cameras can make a big difference in clarity and color.

They don't help with getting cats to cooperate though!

I give up! I’m never going to get the perfect shot, and the competition is just too stiff. So here we go: Lily’s white whiskers, black whiskers, and half white/half black whiskers.

Entry: Lily

And another one just because. (Not an entry...although I had a terrible time deciding between the two.)

I love the mix of black and white whiskers! So cool looking!

Honestly, if you want a camera, get a camera. Phone cameras are good but, as the saying goes... "Jack of all trades but master of none."

When it comes down to it, the camera isn't important. It's the person behind the camera.

If you see a subject you want to make a photograph of, you have "Found" a photograph.

Then you "Ask" yourself what is it about what you have found that makes it a good photograph. It is the shape? Is it the light? Is it the color? What made you want to take that picture?

Next, you "Rethink" your shot. How can you frame the subject? What light looks best? What focus, exposure or other settings should you use?

Finally, you "Take" the photograph.

If you get in the habit of "Find," "Ask" and "Rethink" before you "Take" a picture, you will always have interesting pictures to look at.

Just remember to FART and you'll never go wrong! ;) ;) ;)

Ruby's gorgeous, and I'm pretty sure you can get a good picture of her showing off her whiskers. ;):winkcat:
Yes, but if the angle isn't right, I end up with a too-close shot of her ear! Or "goobies" in her eye! Or ... well, let's just say, it's not going well. :lol:

Yeah, that's a problem I'm having too. :lol:

And, in this case, the cat "in front of" the camera. :lol:

Uhm... LOL. :dunno: :lol:

Wow! The whisker entries are really adding up! I think we all love whiskers on kitties. Like the song, “My favorite Things.” “Raindrops on roses and Whiskers on kittens....” :winkcat:
That's a genius song, and mainly for that lyric, I think we all agree, Jcatbird Jcatbird ! Whiskers are one of the most charming things about cats. I'm always telling my female cats that they're a species where the females look gorgeous with whiskers, unlike most others. :insertevillaugh::crackup:
