How to Take Pictures of Your Family Pet

It seems like if the expression that "a picture
can be worth a thousand words" is true, then it
should in the same way be true that a fantastic
picture featuring your precious cat or dog
should be worth a thousand meows or woofs. In
many houses the family pet is as beloved as the
humans who live there. In fact, many houses have
picture frames on the mantelpiece that are filled
with fun shots of their furry friends. Assuming
that this is true of you, then you are probably
anxious to record some fantastic memories by
taking fun photos of your precious furry
friends. Follow the hints below and
accomplishing this task should be a breeze.

• Having nice gear is the place to begin. A
good quality digital camera is necessary to take
the best pictures of your pet. Unfortunately,
the most common end result when using your
camera phone or a cheap digital camera is photos
that have such low picture resolution that
they're poor quality when you try to print them
in the size you want.

• Read the camera's user's manual
carefully. You will find some excellent
information in the user's manual which will help
you to take the best shots possible that are of a
high quality, appropriate for placing in any
picture frame. Make sure your camera is at the
ideal setting for taking the best photos.

• Natural lighting is the very best
establishing you can find to take pictures of
your pet in. Up close shots are excellent for
showing the dog's or cat's personality and
unique expressions.

• Get down on the ground or the floor, on
your pet's level in order to get the best
pictures of your pet. Get in a position where
the two of you can see eye to eye, and get
pictures from there.

• Use treats or silly sounds to catch your
pet's attention and help keep him looking at
your camera. If you discover that it's necessary
to hold onto your pet to make it hold still, then
it's ok if a hand or even an arm ends up in the
picture.

• You will want to think about exactly
where you are going to hang your finished
picture and what frame you are going to use
before you actually take the pictures. Will you
want a horizontal or vertical shot?

• Allow the dog or cat time to get adjusted
to the camera, and the sounds that it makes.
Your dog or cat could easily get frightened or
even annoyed by the flashing and clicking noises
that your camera makes.

• Keep the photo session calm and natural.

• Try to time your pet pictures. Waiting
until the end of the day when your pet will be
tired is a bad idea if you were hoping to obtain
some shots of it running around or jumping.
Although, if you want some pictures of your pet
in a serene pose, the evening is the best time
of day to get them - after you've taken the dog
on his nightly run or your cat has tired of
playing with her ball of yarn or other toys.

• Always have extra batteries accessible.
If you want to increase the odds of getting a
photo that is worth putting in a picture frame,
then be sure to take many pictures.

Most importantly, have a good time! You'll get
some superb pictures if you only relax and keep
these helpful tips in mind.
