lifeincnx Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I took this shot in Pai on one very hot day. I tried cropping the area of the cat and water bowl tighter but always came back to the full frame. Guess I liked the wood textures and other elements too much to loose them. Taken with my cranky old Canon 20D and my trusty Canon 24-105mm f/4 lens. This was low res to begin with - unfortunately a small jpeg and not the RAW format I usually use.

canuckamuck Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It think the important image is up close. but It is a nice shot from further back too. I am curious, is this shot a setup. I am just wondering because you don't normally see a bunch of flowers floating in a pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This very friendly, but hot cat was more than happy to pose for my lens. The water bowl with flowers was on somebody's front porch and Ms. Feline just helped herself.

canuckamuck Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) I took this shot in Pai on one very hot day. I tried cropping the area of the cat and water bowl tighter but always came back to the full frame. Guess I liked the wood textures and other elements too much to loose them. Taken with my cranky old Canon 20D and my trusty Canon 24-105mm f/4 lens.

The photographer should have chased the cat away and moved the pot and then taken his picture of the nice textures.

astral Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It is a good idea to put small fishes in such bowls, they eat the mosquito larvae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just wondering because you don't normally see a bunch of flowers floating in a pot. Oh, yes you would see a bunch of flowers floating in a pot if you came to my neighborhood, actually this is a very common sight around the kindgom. the flowers floating in the pot or pond, the cat thing is a plus, my question(?) is this cat really taking a drink or is it doing a bit of fishing. Many of these pot also have lots and lots of small fish that would make a nice snack for this cat>yum yum Anyway very nice photo. Thank for sharing.

And yes, kitty was drinking - a lot. It was hotter than heck. Her in Bangkok, my wife's aunt has many water bowls with flowers as well as tiny fish (guppies I guess) which are good to keep both the algae and mosquitoes down.
