Pets are a part of the family. This is the reason people keep taking pictures of their pets. The pets are not very supportive when they are being clicked. The troublesome nature of the pets requires the owners to maintain a high degree of patience and lots and lots of reel. Any camera can be used for the job.
Even the most inexpensive cameras can produce one of the best photographs of your pets. You can also enlarge the photos of your pets clicked by the easy-to-use-cameras currently available. 355mm cameras have larger negatives; hence enlarged photos are possible which look crisp and sharp. The best option available is to pre-focus and then wait for the pet to come into the focus area.
For instance, a spool of thread thrown on the floor will attract your cat like a magnet. As soon as your cat discovers the spool of thread, you must start clicking so you need to focus on the thread. While clicking pictures of your dog, making some noise to distract them is recommended by certain photographers. You could capture dogs reactions to various sounds and get amazing pictures. Pre-focusing should be considered in each and every case, so always keep your camera ready.
Take dramatic pictures of your dog with the help of balls and Frisbee.All this while you will have to focus on a spot and then throw a ball or Frisbee at that spot. Your children and pets could give you some amazing natural pictures while playing with each other.
You can add impact to your pet shots if you remember these tips. Do not distract the kids and pet by sitting too close to them but sit as low as possible to get a natural pose. You would need to slouch to get the picture from the same level as your child and pet. Try to fill the frame with the picture of the animal by being closer to it. While capturing facial expressions of your pet, try to get a close up.
Make sure you take a close up while shooting birds in a cage to make the bars disappear. While clicking the fish in an aquarium, the same technique has to be followed. Take lots of good shots. Taking good pet shots takes a lot of patience.
In case your pet is in a mood to cooperate, make good use of the time and click a lot of photos. Professional photographers suggest taking large number of pictures of your pets to get a number of good pictures possible. So make way for alluring snaps by going on a snapping spree! When taking photographs of hard-to-click pets, this is especially true.
