Cat Photos: Fail!

This tip will be counterproductive for the point of this thread, but you could still post the fails after.

If you have an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad, you can hold the photo button down and it will take “burst pictures” you can hold it down as long as you want and can get hundreds of pictures taken really quickly.

Keep in mind this takes up a lot of space as each picture is huge, but if you’re trying to capture a cat jumping, out of the 100 pictures you would for example have 30 that are great.

If my explanation makes no sense, let me know and I will try a different approach.

You could also do slow-mo to capture the jumps and then make a gif with them.

Oh, good one! Great tummy shot! Missy is probably embarrassed, though.

Yo there, this thread is all about photo fails, we don't want perfect photos

But great tip you have here

Me: I should try to take a nice picture of the kitties today
Cats: Time to sneeze!
Seriously guys?! Every.single.time.

Was trying to get a pic of her sitting weird... idk what kind of strange hobgoblin i photographed

I'm not sure it's a fail, but I did not intend to make it appear as though Piper is a giant among cats, even though she appears that way in this picture.

I only had the cheap camera ready when I saw him doing this weirdness. Any movement would have taken his attention away from licking the frost off the inside of the window. I noticed marks on it the other day but thought they were on the outside. Good, Clyde--keep the window clean. lol

Tried again this morning with a different camera. Sure enough, he was at it again. This window hasn't seen Windex or anything like it in a year or more so he's not ingesting that. They have plenty of water available. Maybe he just likes the frost. ???? Also, their grass needs replaced.

The last one is Anais telling me she is an artist

He swats the camera if I get too close.

Found this on an older card. Was set to get yet another shot of them together. Clyde figured I had enough. lol

Think it might be same kind I tried taking pictures of at my friend's house last week.

Trying to get a picture of Patch and Alana napping in one of the towers and got this.

Missy's evil eye

This is a 'photo fail'? . I love it, it's really spooky and atmospheric.

I see him in a nice broadside pose which really shows off his gorgeous form so I grab the camera. He sees it and runs. When he comes back he peeks around the corner, walks out swishing his tail vigorously, and races past me (I didn't get the picture) One of these days.....
