| Sound familiar? Why are dogs so hard to photograph, anyway? Don't despair! Marlene, our dogonfunny® photographer, has some tips that will help you shoot that dog, cat, or anyone else - with a camera, of course! Here is her first lesson, just for you! |
Are you wondering how I get our models to pose so well for the many roles that they play? Well, even though our stars are talented performance artists, (so they claim), it takes a lot of patience, training, time and treats to get every shot. Most people, though, really want great candid shots of their own pets; something that would reveal the animal's unique personality. Yet, the moment the camera comes out, the dog has moved, and is now approaching the lens with a big, wet, gooey nose!

Well, face it, dogs are extremely curious, especially when they see something out of the ordinary, and this is exactly
the problem! If you want your dog to behave normally in front
of the camera, then the camera has to be a normal thing!
In other words, have the camera pointed at the dog as
often as possible! It can be terribly frustrating at first, but eventually your subject will be so used to having the camera pointed at him that he will begin to ignore it
and you, and this is your key to
success! This stategy works well with humans, too!

Aside
from non-cooperative subjects, the biggest problem that most
people have with photography is work
that is out of focus,
and this can be traced to 4 main causes:
Shutter
Speed
Camera Shake
Depth of Field
Processing
