Today is Macro Monday on Lens and Pens by Sally. A while back I had my little cat, Inky, sitting on my lap and became fascinated with her eyes. Not to equate it, but when I was a kid I collected cat’s eye marbles (I was never able to have a cat until I was an adult)! Wish I still had them. But I digress. I started looking at her eyes and my iPhone was right beside me. Although she didn’t sit still for very long, below are a few of the shots I managed (quite awkwardly, too, I might add!). All pictures were taken using my iPhone 5. Enjoy!

Cats eyes are fascinating, and you’ve captured them nicely. I like them all, but particularly the ones that fill the frame. Happy Phoneography Monday.
Thanks, Sally!

Nice job of capturing that eye (or cat-uring.) 🙂

Good one, Janet! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! 🙂
Kitty cats are the best. Good job!
Thanks, Luanne! I don’t lack for models — the trick is getting them to stay in one spot longer than 1/2 a second! LOL
Hahaha. Mine lie still, but they turn their heads, close their eyes, and if all else fails just turn their backs on me.
wow, that is beautiful and bit eerie at the same time!
Thanks, Johanna! Cats are just plain beautiful and eerie at the same time!! 🙂
My macro is a cat this week too! I love the second one… the reflection in her eye is fascinating! Good job grabbing a few closeups while you could! 😉
Thanks, Meghan! As you know, you’ve got to get them while you can! 🙂

Nice edit!
Thank you for commenting! I’m glad you liked it! 🙂
Are you a member of MobiTog or iPhoneArt? If not, you might want to join the online community there.
I’ve not heard of these groups. I’m such a novice with the camera phone, editing apps, and my new DSLR. I have so much to learn but I’m very excited. It’s captivating and fun!
MobiTog is one of the oldest online communities for mobile photographers. http://www.mobitog.com Tell them AlyZen Moonshadow sent you …I used to be an AdminModerator there. It’s Forum based so you can start up threads, join ongoing discussions and challenges, learn from tutorials, find out about contests and call for artists etc.
Iphoneart is on http://www.iphoneart.com It seems more serious than MobiTog. It’s not so easy to communicate, the only way is to start a new discussion. But the folks there are forward thinking and you can find likeminded people there too.
Thank you so much. I’ll definitely check these out, especially the MobiTog. I really appreciate your help and suggestions. 🙂
Lovely pictures and great story. So happy you have a kitty 🙂
Thank you, Carol. I actually have five kitties (and two dogs)! 😉
Love the first one. Really awesome to know that it’s a phoneography.
Thanks, Rommel. I’m making myself nervous but I think it’s because I’m impatient. I just spent what for me is a lot of money on a new DSLR and I keep getting better pics from my phone! It better be because I don’t know how to really use my DSLR to its full advantage! 🙂
