Ah, the beauty of littlerally walking around the housewith a camera in hand (like my own version of a security blanket). I was waiting for Nettie to get off the phone so I could pester her a bit as all good husbands are prone to do, and saw Rufus relaxing in his favorite spot in the hall.

This is not a studio shot, although I'm really happy with how it turned out. In fact, Rufus is sitting on a fuzzy white bath mat that we keep draped over an antique radio at the end of our hallway. Although we bought the mat and set it up as a cat perch, he's the only cat that can stand the feel of it. Fortunately for him it means he has a private little oasis. Fortunately for me it means I got a "studio" type setting without doing anything more than turning the flash to the ceiling.

Specs:
Camera: Nikon D200 with MB-D200 vertical grip
Lens: Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 (not macro) @about 70mm
Flash: Nikon SB-800, bounced
"Studio": fuzzy bath mat, antique radio and three almost-white walls
Time: From first shot to finished processing, about ten minutes
Image: Nikon NEF (RAW) file format, cropped slightly
Model: Rufus, aka Sockhead, aka WoofWoof
Photographer: Terribly longwinded this evening.

Very nice shot indeed. The mat practically fuses with the background. It makes me wonder what's Rufus actually thinking...

There's more to do in the Net of Nets!

He's probably pondering where he'll throw up next. Couch... or bed... ??? ;)
:iconcaptain-galant:
It's certainly a photogenic location in the house. I should set up a set of studio strobes in that corner for the next time he jumps up there. ;) I think he likes to keep an eye on my office door from that location. The second I open it he zips through and then stares at me as if to say, "Hey, look... I'm in the office! Now what?"
