There have been many kittens and cubs born at WHF and we have been lucky enough to photograph some of them. My favourite are the Pallas Cat kittens, specifically, Tula and Wei-Shand’s first litter, which consisted of two boys – Caspian and Aduva; and two girls – Pamir and Ulan…
We had so much fun doing our half day macro photography with Janet Robini that we decided to do a full day of macro with her. The advantage of having done the half day was that we had a better idea of what we wanted to photograph by way of…
