“I shoot mostly in burst mode” — that is the answer given by Li Ward, an expert in pet photography who runs the website Fat Orange Cat Studio.

She said this in an interview with Rik Fairlie, who covers digital photography for the New York Times blog. Check out the interview on how to photograph pets, here.

A split-second opportunity. Kittens are always there for you to shoot but it is not always that you get to shoot them in their most photogenic pose. I think my brother had just shot them in that perfect moment.

Hmm… does this count as a macro shot? I guess yes if you take macro photography to mean close-up photography. I was closed enough to be within the striking distance of an angry dog.

This picture of a neighbour’s dog back in my hometown in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, was among the earliest pictures I took with the Canon PowerShot G6.

I guess he hated me quite a lot, for each time I ventured out of my house, it would come close and sneer at me. But we became friends later on when I throw him fried chicken leftovers or it might be because he could sense that I was not afraid of him.

Said the dog to other dogs, “No point trying to scare this one; and furthermore he has that strange weapon in his hands which emits light each time you come close. You don’t wanna mess with this one…” (In Clint Eastwood voice).
