Some useful tips on photographing pets:

Besides avoiding flashing straight in their eyes, I also make sure I have the AF Beam on my camera turned off - this is the red autofocus assist beam (not sure if all cameras have it). Just to make sure I don't do things to unnecessarily alarm or scare the animal. :D

Thks GD for the great tips :) Too bad I don't have a good camera. Whatever I used is from my handy handphone camera, haha :)

Wow - that's a good shot. :D Very nice capture! Nothing a little bit of PS auto levelling and auto contrasting can't fix. Once you have a half-decent shot (and this is actually a good capture, just limited by the camera), then you can let PS tidy up the rest (and we're not even doing major PS work):

I'd actually not mind using that cat pic of yours (crop the face area with some background) as an avatar... :D

took these pixs a few mths ago fm our local zoo. My favourite kind of cats .........

I've been to the zoo many times, but never had a chance to get to see the cheetahs so close. Very lucky on this day, i stood there for 20-30 min admiring it but sacrificed quite a bit of blood to the mosquitos. Later did i notice that i at least had ten mosquito bites - but it was worth it!!!
