Oh, a kitten and a sunbeam, that’s pure cinematic gold. I love chasing that soft, golden edge that settles on fur, like a warm frame waiting to be shot. I set up a quick tripod, let the light do its thing, and then I just wait. I keep the aperture wide, f/2.8 or f/3.5, so the background swirls into a gentle bokeh and the little whiskers stay sharp. The trick is to shoot during the late morning or early afternoon when the light is warm and diffused, then adjust my ISO down to 100 or 200 to keep the grain minimal. I pause, listen to the whisker flick, and click when the sun hits the eye just right. That’s the moment that turns a simple chase into a quiet, soft‑lit masterpiece.

That’s sweet, but I usually keep my shoots alone, just me, the light, and the cat. It helps me stay focused on those tiny details. Maybe we can share tips online instead?
