Taking pictures of your pets
More than a year ago Chris (the boyfriend) and I bought a brand new Nikon for our picture taking pleasure. We were so excited just thinking about all the great pictures we could take, but we never dreamed that 98% of our photos were going to be of our dogs.
They do so many funny things; I am constantly saying "Chris look at how cute Calvin looks; Chris look at Chewy's hair; Awwww, CHRIS look at Silvio and Norman snuggling". Needless to say, Chris is pretty tired of me telling him to "look". Our camera solves this problem because now I just take a picture and he can "look" at the pictures whenever he wants.
The whole point of this long, drawn out story is not just to, once again talk about my dogs, but to send you to a site that has great tips on taking pictures of your pets.
Kodak.com has some great tips to remember (or help) when you're trying to photograph your animals.
Also, I want to know what tips you use to get great shots of your pets.
I usually get great shots by continuously shooting. (Which is why I have 756 photos of my dogs on my memory card, OH and three of Chris).
