My human gets a lot of compliments for her photography of me. In fact, she even won an award for a photo of me in this year’s Cat Writers Awards. But sometimes she does some really stupid things. She is always tempting me with treats to get me to to look in her direction… and occasionally she gets her hand in the shot! In fact, lately it has been more than occasionally. All the photos you see below are from July alone.
Actually, with a little bit of cropping and Photoshopping, this photo might have been okay. That is, if I had looked at the camera.
Nothing could have helped this photo, from one of my therapy cat visits. And I think you tell from my facial expression, I knew it.
Believe it or not, this photo was from the very same therapy cat visit! Do you notice something here? That’s right — my human’s hand-bombing is ambidextrous!
This is from Saturday’s cat show. My human was trying to get my attention, but I was too busy rubbing on my enclosure to notice her thumb.
Here I am in my Sleepypod bed… featuring my human’s hand! Sheesh. She needs to get her act together.
Love your heart necklace!
Jazz hands <3
I’m in FB jail again (it’s been a couple of months, and their radar must have swung by me again.), but only for three days, so I’ll be back on your post soon. Maybe your human needs one of those chopsticks thingies that are attached at the back, so she could use them to pass you a treat. Would that be easier to Photoshop them out of existence than her hand is? Or just remember that the percentage of good shots outnumbers the bad shots….
Mama’s hands <3
Well Summer, we sure know where your motivation comes from. Those must be some amazing treats
I love the second picture!
Purrz!

Those reminded petcretary that she too does get her fingers in the wrong places too…quite a lot!
Bwa! Ha!! Haaa!!! Snot! Giggle! Snigger!
My Human is complaining about not being able to get shots of me…purrhaps SHE should try treats!

Our mom has her fingers in our photos all the time, and it is NOT because we are getting treats. It’s because she is inept at taking photos. A couple of these are definitely salvageable and will be nice with a bit of cropping.

Well, that’s OK if your momma doesn’t get it right all the time, but wouldn’t you say she does 99% of the time? I wish I were that enclosure you were rubbing on! Tee hee hee. Winky winks.
MOL! Those are funny! You’d think she’d see that her hand is in the way but apparently not!
We still think you take great pictures, hands down! 🙂
Whoa! A hand person that’s out of control.A couple of thumbs could be ‘shopped out. Pop just took some shots of me on my new tree with TW’s hand in all of them.
Your human’s hands … Binga … there’s always SOMETHING trying to steal YOUR attention, Summer! They should be ashamed! 😉
That’s too funny! Even the best goof up sometimes 🙂
Our mom could never do that ambidextrously. She could never operate the camera with her left hand!
While these outtakes are wonderful and well received, your human is doing her best to keep them coming, isn’t she?
At least she has a dainty hand, unlike my man hands 🙂
In that second photo, it looks a little like she is holding you by your ear, Summer!
Purrs,

Ambidextrous hand-bombing—that takes real talent! And your human’s outtakes are still better than most of my “good†photos. 🙂
At least, you Human doesn’t do the Barney Rubble: Remember how his THUMB was in front of every picture he took, including the big whale that he and Fred Flintstone caught?
Those are great outtakes!
Mum is too embarrassed to post ours:)
Summer your humans hand is very photogenic….she could be a hand model.
Of course your beautiful face is always enjoyed
Hugs madi your bfff
Oh Summer, I tend to get my finger in front of the lens, which throws the automatic focus all out of kilter! And I’ve done that more times than I care to admit!
What a pro model must endure.
Love your outtakes.
Ambidextrous hand bombing! Summer, you are a riot!
theo is seriously wondering why he doesn’t get treats for his photos.
Most of the time we won’t look even if there’s treats in the mom’s hand.
GReat outtakes Summer.
My Mom is good at “foot selfies” – she rarely has a hand in a photo but once in a while her feet get in the frame!
Hugs, Teddy
That’s a lot of hand shots, MOL. Pretty funny. It’s either the hand or Binga. Binga is pretty cute though. Great Pics! Purrs
Well, you’re still the prettiest kitty, hand or no hand!
Poor Summer, the things you have to deal with! Photo bombing by a hand and Binga.
We find that mum only sees us and not all the clutter and stuff in the background :/
She knows better.
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
Mol! Great outtakes! At least Binga wasn’t there.
Actually, if Binga had been there, my human’s hands would have been busy keeping her out of the shot!
