Smokey Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Any words of wisdom on how to take better pictures of my pups?!? I was going to put bunny ears on Zeeva in light of Easter, but then I realized she already has some. Enjoy C: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Photo's look good to me! NIce to see them enjoying a lovely sunny day! We had pouring rain all day but wasn't an issue, was a good excuse to stay tucked up in bed with the family eating chocolate all day!

Dave Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Nice pictures mate, one tip I have found works a lot of the time is to take the picture on their eye level or below... seems to add something extra to the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markulous Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 1. Low perspective, as mentioned, always looks good 2. Shallow Depth of Field if possible 3. Focus on the eyes, then if anything is out of focus it won't be the most important thing! 4. Watch the backgrounds - nice 'clean' background always helps 5. Get their attention. I carry a squeaker but that only lasts a short time before they're bored. I find acting the total idiot works well! 6. Follow the action - never that easy! Here's a couple of shots I've taken the last few days of foster (who's now gone to his home) and puppy (who's now gone to his home) Fail on the attention but surround/background looks OK Follow the action - background clear Low perspective and engage attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 As per the suggestion, I took some pictures and I think focusing on the eyes, lower perspective suggestion helped me capture that shot of Smokey! Never have I seen his eyes look so cool! I cheated a little on Zeeva's play picture by cropping it so the background would be cleaner (just grass). I would've zoomed in more but in an attempt to catch the shot I snapped like 3 and by the time I'd zoomed in perfectly, she pounced! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
