Undoubtedly, the most interesting subject for your photography is your pet dog or cat. After children, animals rank next as the best, rewarding, and popular targets for your photography. It's not that hard to take a good photo of a pet. However, there are techniques that can make the job a lot easier and almost guarantee good pictures. Cameras with adjustable shutter and stop speeds can make this job a bit easier, if used together with the basic techniques.

To take a snapshot is to simply aim your lenses, but to take a picture you need to catch your pet's expressions in full detail. Fill the camera's frame in high definition by moving closer to your pet. This is not a problem with big pets. Even when working with a fixed focus camera, which helps to make things easier, you still have to get close. You need to focus the subject by moving not too close and not too far, and to do this, refer to your fixed focus camera manual.

Smaller animals are harder to shoot, and therefore require that you use a close-up lens, or other attachments. You have to consider lighting as well, when you are planning on taking the photo inside. Using flash can cause red eye, so try to put the flash to the side. This will occur if the subject's eyes are too close, that they reflect the flash back to your camera's lens.

Use telephoto lens to remove unnecessary background details. This lens allows you to take the big picture of the subject even if you are not that close. After having animal photography done and over with, let's cover some topics that you still have to deal with later on.

Animals also act like they are people, so you should pay attention to them. It is urgent that you be aware of this character in animal, so you can shoot a good photo. Animals can prove to be difficult.

Waiting is your only option, if you were to capture that perfect pose in picture. The animal will most likely just pose a single second, so be ready with your camera. In order to take the picture you want, you first need a good plan, some cleverness, and a huge amount of patience. It's always good to have a friend help out.

Ask this person to use toys, rattles, or anything just to get the pet's attention while you shoot. Should the animals stray away or wander from the set, your helper could chase them back in. If you must make your pictures alone, try using a longer cable release. Doing so, you can just hit the button to take the shot, while also chasing the pets; but be sure to be careful not to trip. You might consider the use of a prop to keep the pet's attention as well as keep him confined within the shooting area.
