phone photo tips for cats (Namtarn edition)

Namtarn does not sit still for even one second, so my photos of him were all blurry for a year. Juliet, the little one, is easier because she sleeps most of the day and only wakes up for food.

Some things that helped me. I shoot in the morning next to the window in Phaya Thai, the light is soft and not too hot. I turn off the flash, because it makes the eyes glow weird. I get down to his level, since photos from above look like a document. I use burst mode, press and hold, then pick the best one later. And I clean the lens, because the phone gets cat fur and fingerprints on it all the time.

I also give him a treat after each photo. He figured out the game in about 5 minutes and now he sits and waits for the treat sound. I have some good shots now, but I still cannot get him to look at the camera when Juliet is in the frame.
