The Cat Was Well Hidden! [Qurator's Photo Quest - Hidden]

in Photography Lovers5 years ago (edited)

Good afternoon, everyone!

Yesterday I proposed a little challenge offering 1 HBI to whoever found the cat in a photo. There were a couple of attempts and @ana-maria went a bit mad searching for the cat... but in the end @gems.and.cookies came and found it at the first try! 🤭

This is my entry for the Qurator's Photo Quest, hosted by @qurator. This week's theme is Hidden.

Here is the critter that made life so difficult for the ones joining the search...

... and here is his original hiding place:

Yes, he was pretty much invisible out there.

But he got curious when I starting taking pictures, so he decided to pop his head out to investigate, which allowed me to grab some really cool photos...

Yes, that's him in the center of the image, in the cornfield.

Investing on a camera with a 30x Optical Zoom was a good decision. With it, I can take these kind of photos without having to come closer, which would probably have scared him away...

This camera can really do some spy work. Check out how much I can zoom in, with no distortion:

After he realised there was no food to be gained, he went back into hiding. 🤭

I corrected my position just a bit to get a full shot of his cute little face.

In this final shot, I was using the 30x Optical Zoom to the max. Any more than that and the camera will only do Digital Zoom, which will distort the image.

It's pretty incredible what these little toys can do, eh? And keep in mind that this is a not a high end model, it's actually quite cheap for the features it has. The average price here is around 370€ but you can get it for 300€ or less, if you wait for discounts such as Black Friday. I believe that's a very good deal.

I hope you enjoyed these shots... and I hope I have more participants if I do another challenge like this.

Very well-hidden indeed !

Eheheh! Thanks for trying! 😆

Wow.. that's an amazing encounter.. love the way the cat is staring at you 😉
Green black n white perfect 👌👌

Thank you very much!

love the cat

Who doesn't love cats?

It was mission impossible for me, but I liked the challenge anyway and would gladly participate if you come up with another one. 😀

It was a bit harder because the photo doesn't end up exactly as the original after uploading. There's always a bit of quality that's lost. 🤔

Judging from other shots you took and posted in this post (that look quite sharp), I'm sure it would be easier for us if you were able to upload it there in its original.

Cheeky corn cat is zooming in on you too.

He sure was. I guess he was checking to see if I was edible! 😁

Such a cute little guy

Yeah, he has a sweet little face. I bet he has no problems asking for food. 😊

Thanks for the visit.

Great photography. Very clear and crisp. Count me in on the next challenge:)

Nice. I don't do this a lot... only when I have a good idea for it. 🙃

Wow, you are really zooming in a lot and the image is still very clear - I don't know if I would have found that little cute face :)

It wasn't easy, that's for sure. Thanks for stopping by! 😊

He has to be green one.. to be hidden even better ;)

A green cat? That would be a first! 🤭

Hi, friend @trincowski

I love that photo that shows the mischief of the kitten hidden in that sea of plants.

Excellent pictures. I also have a Panasonic Lumix, older than yours. Take spectacular photos

Happy day

I was used to Canon and this time I decided to go for a Panasonic. I don't regret it. 😉

Thanks for your visit and comment.

Aww it's so cutee :3

Thanks! He sure is!

Your Right!
Absolutely Amazing!
I have 2 cats that look just like him I call "Lefty & Righty",
They have a few small differences that make it look like they are a Mirror image!
😆🤣😆
Have an Awesome Eve.!
👍🏼😊👍🏼

That's awesome!

👍🏼😁👍🏼

Lol, you can just tell that the little kitty's up to no good. He's just waiting to pounce on someone, silently plotting to take over mankind XD

Ahahahah, he's just being himself. 😊

Yay!
