One photo a day challenge: Day 340.

I finally received some larger sized backgrounds for photography that had been on back order. And I was excited to give them a try.

I thought I would use them in conjunction with photographing some portraits of one of our cats.

Our cat Paisley has been really friendly lately and was hanging around my office already. I thought it would be easy to lure her in for some photos with some petting.

She came over to where I had the lights and background set up. She even almost cooperated for the photographs.

Paisley moved almost right in front of the background. But she was at an odd angle to me.

She rubbed up against the background knocking it over.

Then she left.

Eventually I was able to convince her to return.

But she didn’t want to sit up in front of the background.

Paisley wanted to lay on the ground for photographs.

So as is often the way with cats we did what the cat wanted to do.

Paisley actually laid relatively still and rolled around a little for some nice photos on the floor.

Cats don’t do what you want them to do. Cats do what they want to do.

This is especially true with photographs.
