Luna and Lily in Black & White (more Luna added, #24 & 25)

[Kirsten]

I just posted some new pictures of my girls on Facebook, and I thought I'd share them here as well. Guess it's been a while... This time, the pics were taken in black & white, which I think can sometimes be interesting. Not sure if it really works with tabby kitties...

Here's Luna:

She has weird whiskers: ;)

Beautiful pictures of your girls! But then, they always are. I hope everything is fine in your household and give your kitties loves and pets from me.

Lovely cats!

[cassiesmom]

There they are! Hello, sweet Luna and Lily! I love Luna's curvy whiskers, because sometimes that is the only way I can tell Luna and Lily apart! *kisses* You are beautiful in black and white AND in color!

[Karen]

Lovely pictures of the girls. I do prefer color for them, as they have such warm browns and golds in their coats, but with the greyscale images, one notices different details, like those silly whiskers!

[Randi]

Hi there, Luna and Lily. You are two gorgeous girls! :love: :love: I just love the 4th one of Luna and both of Lily.

[happylabs]

Love the black and whites!!! So cool. May favorite is the third one down with just part of the side of her face and her whiskers. I think their whiskers really define them. My second favorite, and a close second, the the 4th pic of her looking up a bit. She looks so deep in thought. Don't you wonder what is going through that sweet little brain of hers?

Do you use actual film? I am going to see if I can conver a couple of my pics of my cats into black/white.

[Kirsten]

Thanks a lot! :)

Karen, I know what you mean re. the colors, but I also think that the lack of it helps us to become aware of other things we usually miss...

@happylabs: No, I took them with a digi cam, I had the camera settings on b/w. But you can also do that with a photo editing software afterwards.
And yes, I often wonder what's going on in their little brains! :love:

[smokey the elder]

The black and white pics really make the whiskers stand out! Such stunning beauties.

[sallyandsnowx]

What beautiful pics as well as beautiful cats! I love the second one of Luna and the first of Lily. Gorgeous. :love:

[phesina]

You always capture your girls so beautifully, Kirsten! Thank you!

[Abby&Buddy'sMom]

Georgous!!!!

[momcat]

Kirsten, no matter how you photograph Lily and Luna they always come out absolutely beautiful! Your black and white pictures bring out another side of their beauty and I swear I could hear them purr. Is there anything you can't do with a camera? I'm always in awe of your extraordinary talent!

Could I ask you to give Luna and Lily lots of lovies from me?

[Asiel]

I'm amazed that you could capture those kind of photos with a digi...shouldn't be surprised I guess, all the pictures you take are awesome. the black and white certainly shows your cats from a different perspective, very interesting, I expected to hear them meow...

[Scooter's Mom]

As usual, every picture is superb. I love the 5th one down, and the one of Lily stretching. :) (Love them all, actually!)

[Bengalz]

I love black and white photos and your girls are just stunning. One of my favourite photos of my RB kitty August, who was a black tabby, is black and white - it is the most soulful picture I have of him and I cherish it!

[catmandu]

In colour or in black and white Lily and Luna are amongst the best looking Cats on Pet Talk!!!
You shoould be a professional photographer Kirsten!!!:love:

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

These are really superb pictures!! From 2 superb cats, of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[astrid]

You have no idea how I enjoy watching your beautiful pictures! I love those two gorgeous models you have at home :love:

B&W pictures are very interesting, do you you like sepia tones? I love the "antique" feeling they add..
Thank you for sharing, please give your girls some kisses from me :love::love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

Excellent photos as always.:) I do prefer color over black & white but these are still great and your models are gorgeous too.:)

[chocolatepuppy]

Your tabby girls are just as beautiful in black and white!:love:

[Laura's Babies]

BREATHTAKING!! OMG!! I LOVE your pictures.. The B&W's are just stunning!

[Barbara]

Aawww- what wonderful pictures! I love the pictures that are so full of art but of course I also love the models:)
I never noticed what fantastic whiskers Luna has.

[Kirsten]

Thank you everyone, glad you enjoyed my girls in B&W! And yes, Luna's whiskers are really special! :love:


Today, I was cuddling Luna while I was sitting on the floor, and I took pictures of our reflection in the mirror. Would like to share them also I as I think they're cute. Luna was purring while I did that. Some are not technically perfect, but I like them anyway.
