Before talking about the picture, I just want to say that the cat toy pictured here is absolutely, without a doubt, the best cat toy ever invented. It’s the only toy they seem to never get tired of.
It’s back to cats for this one, but that’s because they’re such interesting subjects and I can photograph them no matter the time of day. I wanted to play with my 35mm prime in low light and Havok was engaged in a game so I thought it would be a good test of capturing motion.
He wasn’t just standing still when I snapped this photo, but I managed to “freeze” him in place with a wide aperture, flash, and high shutter speed. The ball was moving faster than Havok, so it blurs a little but it makes for a neat effect in this case.
