Supurr Sunday salutations pawesome pals
Welcome to another selfie selection and today it's my turn to get all selfie'd up! MOL
This weeks theme is:
Jeez can't a kitty get some alone time!!!
Furst attempt - hmmmm, not great!
I need something, ah I know, I can use Parsley's joke Pandora's Box from yesterday, that'll be purrfect... now if I just stand in it and... *click*
Nope, that wasn't it, let me try this....
Yeah baby, I'm on a selfie roll now!!!
Woo hoo, this sideways selfie is the one! MOL
Finally, now purrlease can I go and blow something up, as I much prefer that to taking selfies! MOL
This Weeks Top Selfie Tip:
We have several different camera's but mainly effurything we take is with an iPhone, though sometimes we use a Sony compact, a Fuji bridge camera, plus we have a GoPro action camera too, though we haven't got around to using that yet.
Lighting is furry impawtant in taking a good picture as mew know, and sadly we have really crappy natural light throughout the winter in our house, [in fact it's a nightmare all year round as we have small windows] so a lot of our pics are tweaked in a program to alter the contrast and lighting so mew guys get to experience a better version of the original.
Also, at this time of year photos taken in natural light can be rather washed out and using regular home lighting just creates a yellow effect, which is not the vibe we want.
So our top tip fur today is, don't be afraid of using programs or apps to make your pics look better, sharper, cleaner and more vibrant. And if mew want to know the myriad of apps and programs we use, just ask.
If mew have any selfie tips, let us know and we'll share them here next week.
Just before we go, we have to say...
... to the P.A. and to all your mums who are celebrating today!
Hope mew're all having a great weekend and we'll be back on the morrow with another gorgeous mandala fur mew to colour.
Wishing mew a supurr chilled day with lots of snoozy snuggles

Those are some great selfies, Basil. You better not let Pandora see you in her box. She's already mad at Parsley, you don't want to be added to her list.
ReplyDeleteThanks Edie, and no Pandora is none the wiser, not unless she saw this post! OOPS!!! MOL XOX
DeleteOur Mom has to wait all the way to May to celebrate Mother's Day here. And we have to admit the fact you celebrate early to us causes great panic and consternation here as Mommy sees all the Mother's Day post and fears she forgot to get Grandma a card. MOL it's hilariously funny.
ReplyDeleteGreat selfies, what did you blow up?
Hey guys, oh no, celebrate 2, this one and yours! MOL OH no, did mew get a card??? XOX
DeleteFurgot to say I blew up a pile of tyres, well I incinerated them, it was great fun! MOL XOX
DeleteHappy Mother's Day to your sweet Mom Basil
ReplyDeleteHugs madi and mom
Thank mew Madi & Mom! XOX
DeleteBasil, mew did a fabulous job with your selfies! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to your awesome Mum, and to all mums everywhere!
Thanks so much guys! XOX
DeleteSo many selfies to choose from, but that last one is just perfect! Like you are!

PS Has Pandora seen the pics yet?
Hey Erin, she's not seen them that I know too yet! MOL XOX
DeleteNice selfies Basil. Happy Mother's Day to your wonderful mum!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much guys! XOX
DeleteBasil, we have exactly the same problem with photos taken in our house...little natural light except in the kitchen. We live in an ancient house that is dark, no matter the time of year. Mom or Dad probably "tweak" every photo on our blog. We love the profile selfies. We always think these are super nice, but we also like the others as we get to see your adorable heart-shaped nose. Have a great week. Happy Mother's Day to your mum! 💐XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
ReplyDeleteHey guys, yep it's really hard to take great pics in poor lighting, and this time of year too makes it even harder. So glad mew like today's pics, I tried effur so hard! MOL XOX
DeleteFirst, before I forget...Happy Mother's Day to your PA!!! And I LOVE your selfies (and the tips) I think I shall try a prop (besides the lovely cushion I got from you guys). Purrhaps a box or Ratty...next week...but I do LOVE your pillow...It makes my lovely caramel undertones pop!

Hiya Marv dude, thank mew furry much, and mew on or next to that pillow is purrfect, the best prop effur and it really does bring out your caramel undertones beautifully! Smooch has a ratty too, and yes the box as well, dude mew're going to look even more pawesome!! XOX
DeleteHappy Mother's Day to your PA. I so loved shedding on her last year at Blogpaws. Your selfies were the best, Basil. No matter what camera your PA uses, no matter the light...you still shine like the true star you are!
ReplyDeleteHey Herms, thank mew so much, and the P.A. loved that mew deposited your beautiful silky fur on her - said it was the best day effur! XOX
DeleteYou better hope Pandora didn't see you using her box, Basil. Great selfies by the way.
ReplyDeleteMOL Island Cats, yep I think we have just caused a ripple effect, hold on to your hats! MOL XOX
DeleteBasil, those are really good selfie tips and your selfies are amazing. Mom asks if she has to keep the camera icon flipped around to selfie mode to take a selfie or can it be in regular mode, 'cause my selfies aren't turning out very clear in selfie mode. Is there a selfie protocol? Hugs!
ReplyDeleteValentine dude, oh we use regular mode and put the iPhone on a tripod as we found taking in it selfie mode flipped the image so mew don't look as good. I'll show mew what I mean on Sunday, we'll do a special tutorial! MOL XOX
DeleteBasil, you look superb, and Happy Mother's Day to your mum!
ReplyDeleteThank mew so much Eastside Cats! XOX
DeleteExcellent Selfies, Basil and great tips too...I guess that's why your Selfies look so purrfect😸Hope your P.A. had a wonderful Mother's Day❤Pawkisses for a Happy Day to all of you🐾😚😻
ReplyDeleteThanks mew Binky, oh I wouldn't say my selfies are purrfect, I just do what I can with the tools I have!!! MOL XOX
DeleteLove that profile selfie,Basil!
ReplyDeleteWe too have bad light here at times, so we see petcretary tweak ours a lot, too.
Interesting that Mother's Day in the UK is now instead of in May like here...anypaws...Happy Mother's Day to you PA!
Hey Pipo, yep lighting is a huge issue and tweaking it most necessary to get a nice natural feel with the right lighting. Thanks fur the MD wishes!! XOX
