Kitten by Ben Luck

The first ever photo taken with my Canon 50mm f1.8. I had bought the lens and a Canon EOS 1000D earlier in the day. I love the shallow DOF available with this lens.

WINNER of the Don’t You Just Want To Dunk It In Your Coffee! Kittens challenge. It’s my first challenge win, and I really appreciate the helpful comments I’ve received about my technique, and the cute kitten ;-)

This is so adorable mate! Great lighting and a good choice with the black and white. Maybe try a greater depth of field next time, to get the subject completely in focus. Still a beautiful shot!
Hi Shelley, thanks for the useful feedback, really appreciate it. I’m glad you like the picture.

Cute- she looks almost bashful. Love the soft focus- it draws attention to her face, and fantastic in black and white.
Thanks for the comment, really useful. Ben :)

This kitten is absolutely adorable!!! What a cuttie! Beautiful focus on the kitten’s face…it makes the shot look stunning! Beautiful eyes. What’s your adorable, furry baby’s name?
Hi Sara, thanks for the comment. She’s not mine, she belongs to my sister in law. Her name is Lacie and she is quite a character!

Very, very cute, but also wonderful photography! The DOF is perfect.
Thank you very much. Taken with a Canon 50mm f1.8. I love the DOF on this shot too … I wish I could take more like this!
