Taking Pictures Of Your Household Pet

If it's true that a great picture is worth a thousand words

, it makes sense that a good photo of your pet should be worth a thousand "barks" or "meows", right? Quite often, a pet is as big a part of your family as the humans that reside in your home. You will notice that there are quite a few people that love to show of snapshots of their cat or dog in picture frames arranged on their mantel. If this is true of your pet, then you might be hoping to catch some really great photographs of your family pet so that you can remember the good times which your family shared with your four-footed friend. Follow the hints below and achieving this task should be a breeze.

Having nice equipment is where you should begin. A great quality digital camera is needed to take the best photographs of your pet. If you're using a cheap digital camera or even the camera on your cell phone, chances are good that you'll end up with a photo with such low quality that you won't be able to print it to your desired size.

Thoroughly read through your owner's handbook that comes with your camera. You'll find some excellent information in the user's manual that will help you to take the best shots possible that are of a high quality, suitable for placing in any picture frame. Set your camera to shoot at its most optimal level.

Go for photos of your pet in natural lighting. Make sure you capture the unique personality of your pet by snapping shots up close.

Get down on the ground or perhaps the floor, on your pet's level to get the best photos of your pet. Put yourself in a position where the two of you can see eye to eye, and get pictures from that spot.

Ensure that your pet will continue to look at the camera by appeasing him with treats or making amusing noises. If you find that you have to hold onto your pet to make it hold still, then it's ok if a hand or even an arm ends up being in the picture.

Before taking photographs of your pet, think of the wall space where you'll hang the photograph and the picture frame that you will use. Do you want a vertical or horizontal shot?

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

Keep your photo session calm and natural.

Time your pet photos. If you desire a few pictures of your dog or cat in action, playing and being active, then don't wait till the very of the day when they're all tuckered out. Inversely, if you want some images of your pet in a serene pose, the end of the day is the very best time of day to take them - after you have taken the dog on its nightly run or the cat has tired of messing around with her ball of yarn or other toys.

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

Above all, have a fun time! You'll get some superb pictures if you just relax and keep these few helpful tips in mind.
