    Today we get looked at by a cat…

    Materials
    My rather large orange tabby.

    Observations
    I like this shot for a number of reasons, almost none of which have anything to do with slow motion. Most of what appeals to me about this particular shot comes from the framing and lighting situation. This was pure chance of course. Skwirt was hungry and decided to bug me as I was working and I had the presence of mind to try and get a shot of him jumping, he’s a really large cat and I figured it would be hilarious to watch him jiggle. Sadly I wasn’t able to capture that but I was able to get him to look at the camera for a brief moment. At any rate, enjoy.

    Additional notes
    A brief note on the title. Skwirt is a jerk about sandwiches. Whenever one of us happens to be making a sandwich he has to get right up in it and do his best to eat the sandwich before you have had the time to properly make the sandwich. I think this stems from the fact that the cat is a total glutton. At last weighing (about 6mo ago) he was 18lbs, he’s put on some weight since then. The look he is giving the camera in this shot is inarguably his “feed me or I’ll eat your face” look, hence the title.
