YOUR PET

Photograph your favourite four-legged friends, capturing
their characters and having fun at the same time
From soft and fluffy fur and bright, colourful
feathers to hard and shiny scales, we all
love our pets, and they can make superb
studies with your camera. Every pet has its
own character so it's this we want to try and
bring across in your pictures. In some cases,
such as dogs, cats and horses, a tight head
portrait is a great record shot, but why not
try capturing movement, say a cat leaping
from its favourite spot, freezing it in mid-air
using the Sport Scene mode. You could head
off to the local park or beach and capture
your waggy-tailed friend enjoying playing
catch or splashing in the water. For smaller
pets, use the Macro mode to get in real close,
48
or place them on the floor and get down low
with them.
Smaller pets often move so quickly it may be best to combine pet and
owner in a nice portrait asking them to gently hold it still.
DON'T FORGET: FOCUS ON THE EYES
As with pictures of people always ensure that you use your pet's eyes
as the point of focus in the picture.
