You have probably been wanting to photograph your pet but are not sure how to get started. You don't want ordinary photos, and that is why are you reading this article. These tips are meant to help you take awesome photos of your pet.
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. Experiment with different lenses, aperture settings, and shutter speeds. A macro lens will let you get take close-up photos, a wide-angle lens fits more pet in the frame, a smaller aperture blurs the background, and faster shutter speed will catch your pet in motion.
5. Don't forget to be patient. In the beginning, your pet may be camera shy, but they will get more comfortable as the photo shoot progresses. Remember that your pet will sense if you are anxious and uncomfortable, so be calm and relaxed.
6. Be ready for the unexpected. Pets are unpredictable and a fantastic shot is always waiting around the corner. Photograph them in their element, with their favorite toy, or enjoying their favorite treat.
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. - 16003
