Cat Trilogy

Craig Watson

Cat Trilogy

A compilation of three images previously uploaded individually.

This trio of images really captures the cat beautifully.

As my wife and I left a hotel in The Rocks in Sydney over 10 years ago, we spotted this cat sitting in the window in the back lane.

Fortunately, I had my trusty old Ricoh XR2 35 mm film camera and took these three shots in the early morning. The narrow lane was in the shadow of the sunrise behind a three storey building, so light was very dull. I managed to get only three shots before the cat went down behind the fence.

All in all, very fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph the little feline in low light an still capture the three so well.

I have always been proud of this trio… It hung on the wall in my office in Magill, Sth Aust for many years. We have moved to the Yorke Peninsula, and it now is on the wall in our entrance area in our new (very old) home.

Hope you all like the compilation.

Regards,

Craig Watson

PS… This sold in October 2007 as a framed image and was my first sale! Yippeeee!

    This is just terrific. I hope you did get a sale with it. Great to see it featured .this is one of the great things the Gods of RB do-bring to attention images from days and months ago. I add to my favourites so that when the next family birthday etc comes up I have a choice for the appropriate image.

    excellent triptych good use of poses, and angles. each image is captivating on it’s own merit. together they create a strong visual. The left image is my favorite, you should try posting each image also individually.

  • Craig Watson

    Craig Watson

    Thanks to everyone who has viewed, commented and favorited this piece of work… IT IS ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATED.

    For those who want an individual image rather than the three together, they are available on my bubble at Cat 1 , Cat 2 and Cat 3 . There may be a bit of confusion because 1,2 and 3 do not match the order in the tryptych… sorry about that!

    Thanks again!

  • Craig Watson

    Craig Watson

    ...WOOPS!!!... The links Cat 1 and Cat 2 both go to the same image… I will try again…

    Wonderful. Wonderful. This could be a style for you to promote as pet portraiture. The color balance and jog from close up to full frame is pleasing to the eye.

    wonderful composition and combination! probably have to be a cat lover to really see it!

    Thanks Tom for the comment, although, I am a little curious… Why does one have to be a cat lover to really see it?

  • Jamie Lee

    Thanks Jamie… you are not alone in saying the middle shot is the one you love the most!

  • Tom Vaughan

    Tom Vaughan

    Hi Craig… I didn’t put it well at all… I just meant that cat lovers can also look into his eyes and get a glimpse of what he’s thinking of all this attention.

  • Craig Watson replied

    Thanks Tom… can see what you mean now!

  • SueAnne

  • Shelley Heath

    Shelley Heathcommunity host

    Brilliant trio… especially like the one in the middle and the contrast of the black of the cat against the red window frame. Well done

  • Craig Watson replied

    Thanks Shelley… you are like so many other “bubblers”... having the middle shot as their favourite of the three.

    Certainly the bit of red realy sets it of… including the little bit of red on the collar in the right hand shot. I had never noticed that until some fellow “bubbler” point it out… I have ony had the shots sitting on my wall for 10 years or so!!! LOL

  • Alison Cornford-Matheson
