When I take a picture of my cat and the light hits her eyes her Iris is a pretty blue, any body know why?

Animals like cats and dogs ... their eyes reflect light ... it's what helps them to see in the dark

You need to take outside or in a Frontroom with Large Picture Windows (no Drapes or Shades) Then your camera will decide it is light enough and will not flash. If your camera still flashes you can take a small piece of tissue and place over the flash giving it a very soft flash but you still we need plenty of light in the room to make sure her blue eyes show.



Here are some of my examples that I take at our kennel in the front of the building with lots of windows.
