Ya'll should volunteer at your local animal shelter. They get pictures for adoption promotion; you get to take photos of concentrated adorable.

When my aunt picked him up at the spca I think they said a mix between a collie and a chow, but we aren't sure. He basically looks like a samoyed if they had gold hair and eyes.

Missed the focus a bit on that one.

He is also a vicious little monster that will cut you. He sat still for just long enough for me to get those two shots.

Violates the rule, since both were taken with cheap 35mm cameras years ago. He's 16 years old now, has a huge limp, and barely gets around...unless he's trying to hump the German Shepherd, then he has LOTS of energy.

I've been doing this for a couple of months, which has been an interesting challenge for a guy who never really had many pets.

ExecuDork mentioned about this thread in the No Advice Dorkroom thread while asking about shelter photography (posted my answer here http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3188257&pagenumber=108#post387243747), and in turn, I come by this thread looking for ideas on how to mix things up and get some ideas about pet photography.

Here's a couple of samples from recently:

Obviously pre-Christmas, thanks to torgeaux for a good deal on the macro lens[1]:

And now, Obligatory Cats:

Hooray! I was hoping you'd follow up that discussion (in which I totally asked for advice :v:

) with some pictures of your work.

Is that just a big towel the cats are sitting on? Do the animals at the shelter have their own beds / bedding or other, um, personal possessions that you can use to help keep them calm and not freaked out by the lights and strangers?

These threads have inspired me into apply to volunteer at the local humane society!

Image doesn't fit the requirements of the OP, this was taken on a sony camera that used a goddamn floppy disk for storage, but it's one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken of this cat.
