A couple of pictures to show how gripping photography can be. 😉 …
Gripping Photography
Holding an SLR in one hand is possible but requires a considerable effort if you have small hands and weak grip. :p
Gripped Photography
Avoid one-hand-shot if you are trying to take picture of your cat's claw. It can be painful. 😥
Inspiration from Sami's S&T picture and his comments about one-hand technique. 😀
[Disclaimer]
Yes. I am in the "silly mood" right now. :p
😆 It's much easier for a dog owner :DP.S. direct link to discussion: http://my.opera.com/shootell/albums/showpic.dml?album=2865952&picture=116247552#comment65263432

@Sami But I don't need to take my cat out on walk everyday with pooh bag, do I? :p@Aadil 😀
Yes. Some cats are remarkably intelligent. I try to train Arwen to come inside when she is called. I used to use a few cat biscuits as reward when she came in when called. Recently I noticed she sometime gets out through the cat door when she sees me but stays just outside the back door. I didn't understand at first, but soon realised she hopes I then try to call her in, which would be followed by a little treat of some cat biscuits. Clever, eh? 😀
Clever indeed 🙂 And by opening doors I really mean opening. I have seen a cat who jumped on the door handle, pulled it down, and kicked from the door frame to swing the door while hanging from the handle. And the owner told the cat learned it by himself :yikes:

That is very very clever. :yikes:
I've seen both dogs and cats teach themselves that trick. (to be fair, the dogs are large enough to reach without jumping though. :p)In a household with both cats and dogs, the cats always dominate the dogs. :rolleyes:.
I saw some such footages in those funny video shows but never in the real world. Would be cool to witness the act and take picture of. :DOriginally posted by qlue:
Yes. I've observed that every time I visit a friend with both cat(s) & dog(s). 😀
I'm not at all sure I can describe this adequately … my folks' house on the island had a long, two-shelf bookcase that ran (figuatively) along under the front windowsill. It terminated at the front doorframe. In the summer, the inner door was left open, leaving the screen door as the only obstacle to Ying, the Siamese cat's getting out into the yard. The screen door was bowed, with the middle outward, so the top and bottom contacted the stops before the center portion with the latch, so it had to be deliberately shut.Ying would get up on the bookcase, reach around the door frame, and trip the latch, which was a little lever. Naturally, the door would spring open about a foot, perhaps 18 inches. Ying would jump down to the floor and quickly turn and head for the door. As she was jumping down, the spring attached to the door would overcome the momentum of the opening door, and pull the door shut, with just enough force to latch it, leaving Ying to start over on the top of the bookcase. She would sometimes keep this up for as much as 30 minutes until she'd had enough exercise to warrant a little smackeral of something … she'd go to eat, and fall asleep.This was a pleasant source of amusement for us as we watched her.
