Someone told me that if you stand and aim the camera a little downward…and that is what I do. But I think that if they are on the couch…and I could…a picture straight on instead of from up above does come out a lot better. I have my camera set on Pet setting, but it flashes. The picture at the pet fair didn’t need a flash so I think that is the difference too.

Every time I see them I am struck by how pretty they are. I have an applehead Siamese kitty with huge blue eyes and her eyes almost always come out red (or sometimes a ghostly white which is equally eerie) and someone giving camera advice on Amazon said it is because in animals with light colored eyes the camera flash is reflecting back the red blood vessels behind the very light colored iris. When I get a perfect pic of her blue eyes I always wonder what I did to get it right. I do think lighting must play a part in getting their eye color to show true.

Most of Desi’s pictures come out with red eyes and I think that because it is a lot darker in my house than at the pet fair, the ones I take have his eyes so dilated, and at the pet fair they were not. I love his eyes!
