Weightless. Mr. Bowie feels like Yuri Gagarin. Although, it shows I’m not a great photographer. You always have to be ready and expect the unexpected. Get great pictures by balancing aperture, shutter speed and ISO. But wait a minute… A cat and boxes? There is nothing new, nothing unexpected in this scene! Anyway, I hope that I’m a better musician and songwriter than a photographer… One day, we will rock you.
Love put me in space, way above the trees
Listen NASA can you get my heart back please?
Weightless, love is a pure sensation
Weightless, I feel like Yuri Gagarin“Weightless” – Prefab Sprout
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
Such poise and grace.
Well, it’s Mr. Bowie, and he says “Meow” to you!
Herman, you are an excellent photographer. Bowie and his kind simply move too fast for us humans to adjust our cameras in time for always perfect photos.
Thank you, Mary J.
Guess it’s like I’m too fast for my friends when I’m eating chocolate! 😉
You are a wonderful photographer and DEFINATELY know your subject when it comes to Mr. Bowie. You caught that moment of sheer joy and weightlessness when a cats’ paws leave earth and head into space…..in this case between boxes (!)…..They are so light on their feet anyway, I’m sure that if they tried – they could FLY……….like Yuri only without the rocket ship…………..super photo.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Pam. Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”, but let’s hope he’ll stay on the ground with his paws…
I like it because it is dynamic, shows action! I’d consider this a great capture, a shot I’d be very pleased to make!
Thank you, Dough! And yes, I was very happy when I saw the result of this shot!
Awesome shot! He looks just like a catstronaut.
Thank you, Carol! Actually, your “I Want To Believe” post with the video inspired me to write this post. I really love your Drawlloween series. It should be published as a book!
Catstronaut… Love that word! 🙂
Awesome! I’m glad you liked the weightless cats. I think I’ve watched it about ten times. And, I wish I could take credit for Catstronauts, but a friend of mine does this: http://brockart.format.com/
Thanks for you encouragement with my drawings. I would love to do a full cat story.
Thanks for the link of your friend. I love his work and his website!
He recently got to go to NASA to astronaut camp as research for his upcoming Catstronauts series!
Wow! How exciting… Lucky guy!
♥♥♥
Thank you, Marilia! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Moet een heerlijk gevoel zijn…
Ja!! Zó kunnen springen, of gewichtloos zweven in de lucht. Zou dit wel eens willen meemaken. In mijn volgend leven studeer ik voor astronaut!
I think that’s pretty darn good. The essence of feline springiness!
Thank you, my friend!
Cats in motion are one of THE most challenging subjects to photograph! I think this picture is fantastic!!! LOVE IT!!! ❤
Thank you, Amy! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
And because I am the crazy cat person I am, tell Mr. Bowie, “I know”. MOL!!! ❤
Consider it done! 🙂
What a jump 🙂 Loved so much. Thank you, love, nia
Thank you, Nia!
Great photo, Herman! It’s a wonderful show of Mr. Bowie in action.
Thank you, Timothy! Though I wish I had a better shutter speed…
Oчень гибкой кошка! LOL Mr Bowie is very agile. He should be a gymnast! Ellie
Спасибо за хороший комментарий этого, и благодарю вас Google Translate.
Love your comment, Ellie! Thank you, Mr. Bowie says “привет Элли!”
Замечательно! Я говорю пo-русский!
Это весело!
Btw, WordPress placed your last comment in the Junk. Guess they don’t read Russian at WP! 😉
What an spectacular shot – oh the adventures of an empty box – enjoy Mr Bowie! 🙂
Thank you, Joanne! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Impressive photo, how did you get Mr. B to jump? 🙂
Thank you! I told him there was a treat in the other box! 😉
Weightless: Yes, Massless: No…sorry Mr. Bowie it’s the price of living the good life.
Oh yes, isn’t life grand for a cat named Mr. Bowie? I’m sure he’s not complaining…
Such grace and beauty, the more I look at this picture, the more I love it
Thank you so much, Jonas. All credits go to Mr. Bowie!
Slight blurring indicative of motion and speed. Excellent photo.
Bowie | Gargarin ?
Bowie | Major Tom ! 🙂
Thank you, cb. Welcome on HoB! Major Bowie says “Meow!”
Reblogged this on Contrafactual and commented:
Ground control to …
Thanks cb. Much appreciated!
I think you did great, catching him in mid air. It looks like he’s quite agile, and quick, too.
Thanks! Well, as always with Mr. Bowie, I was very lucky to be in the neighbourhood with a camera. Wish I had the correct shutter time, though…
This is an absolutely brilliant photo, Herman! And Mr Bowie is pure grace and elegance as always.
Thank you so much, my dear friend. Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Super foto!!!!
Bedankt Joke. Maar zoals al gezegd, jammer dat ik het niet zag aankomen (hoe kan dat nu, een kat en twee dozen?!?) zodat ik de sluitertijd juist had kunnen instellen.
Ik had de dozen klaar gezet om bloemen te gaan halen. Bowie wou blijkbaar meerijden…
Oh you rock alright! And you are a great photographer. But then you have a particularly gorgeous cat to photograph. What is it about cat and boxes? 😀
Thank you so much, Julie! I wouldn’t be a photographer without Mr. Bowie, I guess…
Cats and boxes are just like me and chocolate: we love it!
Beam me up Scotty!
Let’s hope nothing is wrong with the teleportation machine!
So cool!!! B)
Thank you, my dear friend!
Mr. Bowie is practicing his gopher technique! Mr. Nano was quite impressed! 🙂
I think Mr. Bowie was practicing with the hunt for Jaws in his mind! Please say ‘Hello’ to Mr. Nano and the crew.
And the crew send a big hello back to you and Mr. Bowie! Old Jaws is still at it out there. One of his relatives toppled the bird feeder post, sending it crashing into the back entrance ramp. I have a repair job for tomorrow…. 😦
My goodness!! He’s really a monster!! I will have to send Mr. Bowie to join Mr. Nano for a hunting party…
I think your capture was excellent, Mr Bowie is a full on action kitty! Love it.
Thank you, Danella. Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Oh this is an amazing photo. Mysterious and mystical. ❤
Thank you, Sharon! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
A most impressive, blurred motion shot.
Thank you, David. We all know that Mr. Bowie is way too fast for us…
Any cat is way too fast, even when they walk real slow for us. 🙂
Haha… So true!
What fun….hahahahaha,hehehehe. More, please!
Thank you! I’ll plan it in the schedule…
Excellent idea…he’s such a natural! 😎
From the looks of this photo, Mr. Bowie is on target to do a “belly flop” onto the cardboard flaps. OW! I hope I am wrong in my prediction and that all ended well. What a shot! Meow, Mr. Bowie ♥
Thank you, my friend! Don’t worry, all ended well. Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
You are an acrobat, Mr Bowie…MOL 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 ❤
Thank you so much! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
I actually think your shot is brilliant for being there with your camera at the right moment. Life, it’s all about the everyday, tangled together by moments. I laughed, and you must too when you see it again. Don’t you love that a camera is like a mini time machine? You can go back to this moment over and over again. xo B
Thank you, Boomdee. After reading your comment my camera will always feel different from now on… 😉
I personally would like to own a Star Trek transporter teleportation machine. That would be fun…
haha, yes! I’m a Trekkie from way back, that would be a riot.
My daughter would like you to know that there are no bad pictures of Mr. Bowie.
Oh!! That is so kind! Thank you so much. Please tell her Mr. Bowie says “Hello!”
This picture is so great and wonderful. A little bit of Sci-Fi.
thank you so much for your blog 🙂
