02 Jan 2009 sabre said:Hi Gary, Thank you for such positive feedback. The trick with a cat is to get a moth to fly around inside the lighting umbrella - it gets their attention every time!

22 Feb 2009 sabre said:Thanks, Luke. Clearly Arnie is the best cat you have ever seen! Dad x

Arnie was such handsome little man! Nice catch lights from the umbrella. I've recently seen lights that reflect the umbrella instead of the soft light you have here.
Now go out and find another subject!

Thank you, your compliments mean a lot and are gratefully received. I am working on finding a special new subject. Maybe one day soon!

15 May 2019 sabre said:Thank you for choosing my photo of Arnie as Editor's Choice on May 13. Arnie died a few years ago, but rarely a day goes by without me remembering him - he was such a great cat. I am not a professional pet photographer. I am not that good. However, I am glad that people have been able to enjoy this image.

I was setting up the studio lights for a portrait session with my kids. A small moth was fluttering around the modelling lamp inside the white shoot-through umbrella. Suddenly Arnie jumped onto the posing stool, enticed by the moth, and I could not resist the chance to take this shot. The large catch-lights in his eyes are caused by the umbrella.
