How Do I Take A Great Picture of My Pet?

Listen  

Snapping pictures of your pet is a lot of fun, but getting a great shot can be difficult.

To take a good photo of Fluffy, you’ll need to have her full attention. An assistant can help, especially if he’s armed with a toy or a tasty treat!

Try to press the shutter when your pet is alert but still. After all, a fast-moving pet can make a blurry photo. And when it comes to lighting, shooting outside in soft daylight is often the best choice. If you do decide to work indoors, beware of red eye! One way to avoid it is to disable the flash and take the photo in a bright room.

Your pictures will also look better if the background contrasts with your pet’s coat. For instance, a dark cat against a light-colored background will make a more dramatic image.
