Thanks everyone! I didn't expect such a grand response.
Interestingly, at this particular photo shoot, the intended subjects were my friend's alpacas. However, I arrived late in the afternoon, not realizing how dark it would be at her home in the woods, thus none of the alpaca shots turned out. At one point, a lovely cat came and sat next to me for a moment, just long enough to look curiously at the strange human with the odd contraption stuck to her face. I took one haphazard
shot before the cat walked away. I was sure the shot wouldn't even be in focus, much less exposed correctly. What a delightful surprise! It made the entire shoot worth it.
