Pet Photography Getting the Most Out of Your Pet Pictures Get some rest You can also photograph your pet at rest, especially in her favourite resting spot, such as an easy chair or a basket. Be patient. Dogs and cats also stir in their sleep and may strike delightful poses. Waking pets, performing their stretching and grooming rituals, are a fascinating subject. Quick Tip 1 Tracking: Use your optical viewfinder when tracking. The LCD is too slow to capture motion without blur. Not only is it easier to follow a moving object with the optical viewfinder but your camera is steadier because it is being supported against your face. Quick Tip 2 Blur the background: The best portraits have the subject sharply in focus and the background less defined. Experiment with your camera's modes to find the best results. (Hint: portrait mode is not just for humans). Tracking a moving subject also enables you to accomplish this. Quick Tip 3 People are subjects too: When you're photographing your pet playing or interacting with other family members, remember that people are the subject of your photograph too. If the dog is lying at grandpa's feet. Get all of grandpa into the picture, not just the part below the knees. If the cat is perched atop your niece's shoulder, don't zoom in on the cat, get a shot of both of them.   Pet Photography: [1] [2]    Resources: Inside Pet Photography: This pet photography tutorial teaches you how to take outstanding portraits of your pets.
