Taking Dog Photos – Tips to Get the Best Shots

Getting good photos of dogs can be tricky, as anyone who has tried will tell you. But there are some tips to help you.

  • Using a digital camera is easiest so that you can see quickly if you did get a good shot
  • Take lots and lots of pictures. This is not the time to wait for the perfect pose. Just keep snapping pictures, you may find a gem among them.
  • Use the highest pixel setting your camera will allow. You can always crop the photo to get a good shot, but you can’t blow-up the digital photo and get as good quality.
  • Use props for your dog’s attention. Treats, favorite toys, a game of fetch can all be used to help get your dog’s attention for an alert look on his or her face.
  • Get your dog used to the clicking and whirling sounds of the camera. Take pictures at different times and often enough so that the sounds of your camera isn’t so intriguing to your dog.
  • Keep yourself relaxed, or take breaks as you need to. Your stress will translate as worry to your dog, so keep things happy and relaxed to get the best shots of your dog.

Choose the Best Photo Ornament

Once you have that shot, all cropped for the perfect image, then choose the photo ornament you want. You can pick one of the designs from the talented artists at Zazzle.com, or feel free to design your own ornaments. If you have a creative side and a photo program that will allow you to add embellishments, you can end up with a great image that you can put on a blank ornament.

So celebrate your dog’s life with you. Place your pet’s best photo on a Christmas ornament. It will be a great remembrance for years to come.
