Macro Mew

Shot with Fuji X-T5, Fujinon XF 80mm macro


I've been wanting to take photos of Mew's eyes for quite some time since the other cats don't like being touched often. Mew doesn't scratch but may protest and run away to escape if he doesn't want to lol.

Since he found a new spot in the window beside my table and the sun was up, I had my chance. There was a direct sunlight so it was even better since I can put my aperture down to have more details.

The problem is, well, he was facing away from me. I couldn't get a nice shot at first.

His whiskers look like it's a tube that's hollow inside. I don't know if it is actually hollow lol but it is surprisingly thick.

Their whiskers are very sensitive but he likes to rub his face on the brush. Like really hard. XD

These soft fur are always on our clothes, towels, faces, everywhere...

Finally some eye shots. I have to hold his face for a few minutes and he obliged. XD He wasn't scared or anything of the long lens being too close to his eyes though.

Look at those details :o

I didn't know their noses look like that. At first glance you'd think that was just wet but the texture is really just how it is.

That sun shine look nice. :D

His eye from the side. It looks like flat on the inside compared to ours. Looks like a flat earth lol.

After a few minutes, he just ran away cos he got bored of what I'm doing. :P

LOL I could only imagine you giving him orders to stay or chasing him to take pictures, its amazing how his hair looks, its like a maze and his eye from the top looks like a canon like it was split in half, awesome pics ✌️

chasing him is @acidyo's job 🤣

aww! what a cutie, that nose!! <3

Haha I like to boop that nose every now and then. 🤣

I would have loved to make such pics from our cat too, but she passed away too early 😢.

So sorry to hear. :<

The cat is now examined in all details. Cool photos!

Cats are so cool.

Amazing shots! My favorite is the one with the nose :)

Lovely photos!

This one is by far my favorite one!
Great work!

These are stunning! Congratulations on getting the kinds of shots I could only ever dream about. I've always loved observing my cats' eyes in the sunlight, but never had a proper macro lens to capture them (and I doubt said felines would've cooperated even if I had 😂). Their little noses and tongues and teefs are amazing as well...though I may be prejudiced. I do tend to fall in love with every cat I meet. 😄
