Read About Pictures of Cat

 - Why?

1. Who Needs These?

   Cat fanatics like to collect pictures of different cat breeds. Organizations like the Cat Fanciers' Association will need several pictures of cats to make their sites look better. Cat pictures are popular on several commercial products like books, geometrical instrument boxes, bags, food packets, clothing and several others. A case in point is the 'Hello Kitty' series of pictures, which show caricatures of cats in various poses.

2. Types:

   Cat pictures can be very high quality if shot by a professional using sophisticated equipment. Polaroid cameras give better colors as they shut out unnecessary light from the image. Pictures taken at home will be low quality, and can be taken with a home camera or a digital camera. There are many pictures of cats which are actually caricatures or cartoons. These are very popular with kids.

3. Uses:

   Breeders who specialize in cats will take pictures of these animals in various poses and put them up on their websites to advertise. Cat pictures make good collectible items -- postcards, calendars and timepieces with cat pictures on them. Some cartoonists use real cat pictures to come up with witty cartoons. There are many long running animation television series with cats as main characters.

 - How to Choose

1. Online:

   There is virtually no limit to the number of cat images you can get over the web. You can see them with any search engine. While you are making the selection, acknowledge why you want the image. If it is for a collection, try different poses. There are several cat breeds, so you can make a choice based on that. You can also select for coat colors. It is a good idea to enlarge the picture and see it before taking the printout. Beware of copyright issues.

2. Professional Shots:

   Cats are somewhat finicky creatures and they require pampering. An experienced photographer will know how to take a good picture despite their tantrums. Apart from that, a professional will know how to emphasize the colors and delicate features of the cat by using creative methods of lighting, backdrop and prop arrangements.

3. Candid Shots:

   Candid shots are those which are taken when the cat least expects them. These shots may actually turn out to be classics, and will bring back memories for years to come. Keep in mind that candid shots can never be recaptured; hence always be ready. You never know when the moment will come.

4. Expense:

   Taking a few pictures at home is very inexpensive; you will only have to spend for film and developing charges. Professionals might charge over $100 for a one-hour session.

5. Other items you might need:

   You can keep some of the cat's toys ready so that the cat is more comfortable posing. After getting the pictures, keep them in an album to maintain them for a long time.
