Asking a model to pose for a camera is very easy but when it comes to animals, I bet it's not especially if the animal is a cat 🐱. In this blog, I will share the trick I used to click this picture.
Requirements :
- A selfie stick
- A Bluetooth shutter
- A bright surrounding is preferred for capturing sharp burst images.
- Patience
Procedure:
- Caress the cat and gain his/her trust.
- Keep the phone silent/do not disturb mode. This will prevent scaring the cat in case of sudden calls or notifications.
- Find an appropriate location such that the cat is facing the light. In other words, the light source is illuminating the object and it is not behind it.
- Turn on the Shutter Sound of the camera application.
- Attach your device to a selfie stick and connect the Bluetooth shutter.
- Stretch your selfie stick closer to the object.

Using a Selfie-Stick allowed me to move closer without frightening the cat
However, the main challenge was to grab her attention.
To get her attention, I clicked the Bluetooth shutter once which caused a shutter sound from the phone speaker. The cat started looking at the source of sound which in my case was the phone. At this point, I took a burst shot (approximately 10 frames per second).
THE FINAL RESULT
