Wow they are excellent.
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

I decided I wanted a swankey pet portrait of Indy but don't want to spend £50 on it :P

so I decorated a basket bought at a carboot for £1 with £3.40 worth of silk flowers and Indy's Carrier Blankie, put it on some dark mountboard left over from college and in front of dark green curtains. I need to have another go and somehow set up some better lighting and use my tripod for stability, my camera isn't the best either but not too bad.

They have turned out a bit dark with Indy's white bits bleaching a bit... but I am fairly pleased with the result

(oh also sprayed the entire arrangement with catnip spray to get him interested)

I won't bore you with the 32 bad shots/nice pictures of an empty basket   :doh:

This is my first attempt at 'arranging' Indy for a photo instead of just following hopefully with my camera
