Here is our monthly round of outtakes for May 2008. These are the ones we hoped turned out but didn’t. Some accidental, some flukes, some weird, but each image a unique, never to be repeated, interesting picture in their own right. Well, you’ll either like them or you won’t.

Here are April’s round of outtakes of the Band of Cats. Cats definitely have a mind of their own. Unless they’re willing to let you take their picture it just isn’t going to happen. Most times than not they’re occupied with other, more important things. The only time they really show any interest in the camera is when the flash goes off or the shutter makes a ‘clicking’ sound.

Luckily there are those times when things go well and we get a good image. Then there are times when they don’t as you’ll see in our latest set of outtakes.

Here’s our monthly round of outtakes. Those shots that didn’t quite turn out the way we hoped but still were kind of cool to look at for various aesthetic reasons.

Looking at these images it seems Jasmine was the least cooperative in front of the camera or maybe it was that the other 3 cats were more cooperative than usual. Who knows? Either way, here they are. Mostly with Jasmine and a few of Jade, Dax and Spooky and then some pictures that are hard to tell which cat we’re looking at.

Cool, fun and a nice deviation from are other cat shots. Let your inhibitions run rampant and see the Band of Cats a little differently.

Here is our latest set of outtakes for February. We took a bunch of pictures in February and as usual some just don’t turn out the way we had hoped. None-the-less these pictures are visually interesting, unique and worthy of the title ‘Outtake’.

So what makes a good outtake? It’s hard to say really. Most of the time it’s based on personal tastes. You either like it or you don’t. There are images that are just no good such as the bad exposures and out of focus shots or where someone has blinked, looked away or had some gunk on their chin.

A good outtake for me usually has some kind of artistic quality to it. Therefore I look for abstract things like shape, form, texture and color. Other elements like composition and subject matter have an impact too.

Anyways, I hope you find something that appeals to you in our latest set of outtakes.

Enjoy!

Our last set of outtakes where so much fun, we decided to make it a regular feature here on Band of Cats.

Since we’re always trying new things with the camera there’s always a few shots that don’t quite work out but are still kind of interesting in their own unique way.

Like the Joker said in Batman, “If you wanna make an omlette, you gotta break a few eggs.” These are some of our ‘broken eggs’ but worth keeping.

Therefore, each month we’ll be collecting up the more abstract and accidental pictures of cats we taken and letting everyone take a look.

So, for all the impressionists, surrealists and lovers of accidental photography, sit back and enjoy our latest set of outtakes for January 2008!

Jade leaps too fast for the camera to focus on her.

With all the pictures taken of the cats there’s bound to be a bunch that just don’t work out the way we had hoped they would. You win some , you loose some.

Rather than letting them go by the way-side, I thought I would share some of the finer moments when the Band of Cats weren’t cooperating or the camera decided to take on a life of its own.

So here is our first installment of our Band of Cats outtakes. We hope they appeal to the Dada artist in all of us. Enjoy!

Dax gets too close. Cameras are good to rub on.
