Photographing your pets
One of the most difficult subjects to photograph is your family pet. Most family pet photos are blurry, someone is holding the animal, or it’s sleeping. Animals are like little children and the best shots are the candid shots. So how do you get that elusive family member photo in a natural moment to show their personality?
Thanks to technology, a lot of the cameras out today have scene settings that will stop motion. I have found that the best setting is the children setting. The camera is quicker to act at the focus and is ready for movement.
Also be quick on the button. If the animal I playing keep shooting, follow the movement with your camera trying to keep your subject into the frame. Break away from LCD monitor and actually look through the view finder. This will help you follow the movement.
Get as close to the subject as possible without interrupting the action. With digital it doesn’t matter how many shots you take because you will only keep the ones that you like the best and there is no lose in film.
