Advice on Photographing Pets
1. Photograph your pet in natural light. Either use light coming in from the window, or take them outside. Flash photography and animals do not go well together. The flash could scare your pet, and it also causes red-eye. 2. Get on the same level as your pet. Bend down or lie on the ground. This not only gives you a different perspective, but you will appear less intimidating. It's always amusing when pets get close to the lens to investigate, creating a great photo opportunity. 3. Take the time to learn about your pet's personality and unique ways. By knowing more about them, you will have more fun and it will be easier to photograph them. 4. Try switching out lenses, using different shutter speeds, or different aperture settings. A wide-angle lens lets you fit more pet into your picture, a macro lens lets you get closer, a fast shutter speeds catches your pet in motion, and a smaller aperture creates a blurred background. 5. Remember to be patient. At first your pet may be uncomfortable, but as the photo shoot progresses, they will be less shy of the camera. You want to make sure that your pet is not uncomfortable or anxious; if you are calm, they will be calm. 6. Expect the unexpected. You never know when you will get a good shot because pets are unpredictable. Try photographing them with their favorite toy, enjoying a treat, or frolicking in the park. Don't forget to have fun! Your furry friend will be looking like a rock start in no time. If you need more ideas, look online or in magazines. -->
