Almost all of us love to take pictures of their pet, but not all of us, however, are excellent photographers with professional equipment. So what is the best way to capture your pet? The main thing is patience and a few tips.
Instruction
Difficulty level: Easy
What you will need:
the camera
pet :)
time and patience
step 1
Before you start shooting, you need to enable the animal to get used to the camera. Let it sniff, lick, see, touch, get comfortable in his presence. In order to distract the attention of the pet from the lens, you can give him a favorite toy or try something of interest, putting the camera aside.
2 step
Nature is the best background for pictures of Your pet. If it is not possible to do a photo shoot on the street, then you can at home to have the animal near the window. But in either case it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight on the lens.
3 step
When taking pictures of Your pet it is best to use natural light. The use of a flash will only spoil the picture, as the hair and eyes can reflect bright light sources.
step 4
Portrait. As humans and animals have traits of character. Try to catch the moment of tricks, playfulness, interest on the face and in the eyes of the animal. To do this, it's best to translate the camera in portrait mode shooting. Do not forget about the "family portrait". Photo of the owner and his pet is a good way to convey their relationship, and just great pictures for any photo album.
5 step
Do not forget about sleeping moments. Carefully walk up to the sleeping pet and take a few shots soothing natural poses and sleeping cuties.
6 step
Photographing the entire body happens best at eye level of Your pet. Try to lie on the floor or on the ground. You will immediately notice that this view allows you to make great pictures, keeping the proportions, shape and body shape of the animal.
7 step
Particularly popular is the macro-frames, feet, noses, eyes, etc. Experiment with these kinds of shots from different positions, pre-setting the camera to the desired mode and making sure that exhibited sufficient depth of field.
8 step
Life in action. Try to catch and capture the moments when Your pet plays, hunting or running. Movement is the natural behavior of the animal, helping to reveal his character and habits.
9 step
Snapshots during meals too often, it will be very unusual. Try to catch fun shots when Your pet eats from a bowl, chewing a bone, chewing a flower or weed, eat an Apple or fish. Most importantly, do not trouble the animal. Try to "peek", not disturbing his meal.
10 step
A fascinating look into the lens, you can get if you ask someone to stand behind You with a favorite treat pet or food. As salecalc you can use rattling toys or rustling candy wrappers.
11 step
Remember those habits that make Your pet special. Perhaps my favorite dog loves to play with water, splashing of the fountains in the Park, or to fiddle with the pillows on the couch, and the cat to dig under the covers and climb into the open wardrobe. You can get excellent shots, when the animal is enthusiastically engaged in favourite business.
12 step
Do not torture the animal at the time of shooting. If the pet is tired or starts to show aggression to the camera, put the shot on another day. Give it a rest, play or share something very tasty.
