Right now Einstein is purring when I stick this 30mm macro lens in his face but I predict he'll draw blood before the next two weeks have ended

I would appreciate input on how to make something like this more interesting? I'm completely new to macro photography.






I like the colors in this one.. but kind of boring

chop it open and get even closer!

i am talking about the pepper :)

Make sure your fingers or lens don't touch that pepper or you'll have a whole lot o' fun when the capsaicin eventually reaches your viewfinder... lol

I didn't touch the pepper.. but I have a bunch of cat nose prints on my lens

LOVE the cats eye, but would like to see a cleaner eye ball. I had a similar idea but will scrap it now.

Yeah, the pepper needs to be closer...

Closer on the pepper, and sure love the colors in the cat eye image......

Another of the cat's eye.. I think I like the "attitude" in the first eye better?

He did in fact draw blood this morning when he got tired of me sticking the lens in his face





I tried to get these little spikies to show up this morning with a large aperture setting.. interesting or too distracting?

I was leaning toward this one but I think the reflection is too much?

I did one on Bob's cat but he just appeared puzzled. I don't think he sees well although he seems to be able to catch moths so I guess he must think he can see. But he looks wall-eyed to me.

I'm guessing Einstein can see the laser the nex shoots for auto-focus range finding... every time the camera auto-focuses he squints...

I really like the angle of that last cat's eye, but you're right--the reflection is distracting. Can you work on that a bit in photoshop?

I agree... or shut the blinds... I like that you see his face.
