we love our pets like there are little furry children but I'm like a real kid pets humbly want to sit down and stay put for a while we take their picture so how do you get a great pet photo with the DSLR I'm going to show you some universal taste first off make sure you dial in all your camera's settings before you take the shot you're gonna need to act quick to get some good photos and dogs and cats not gonna want to sit still for you while you're filling around your ISO much less have time to focus on your shot and this is the frustration two pet photography right here this is life takes a lot of patience in time how about you sit down that's cold dirt there you go so here are some tips for settings you're going to want to make ahead of time for example let's say I want to take a nice close-up portrait of their face I want the eyes being really sharp focus and I like the background to be nice and soft to do that I'm going to put my camera into aperture priority mode and then I'm gonna open that aperture all the way up in this case it's a f-stop of a 1.8 I also recommend turning off your Flash because not only is it going to possibly spook your pets but it's also going to give them red eye another setting I recommend changing is your auto focus setting you should keep auto focus on for the sake of speed but instead of it being an intelligent focus or multi-point focus that might zero in on their snout you want to have a single point focus so you can really point at their eyes and get that tight focus on the eyes it's key I'm looking at those eyes really trying to use the auto focus to get in on the eyes finally I recommend putting your camera into a burst mode or a continuous shooting mode instead of a single shot a great pet photo is like a needle in a haystack of a hundred photos you're gonna take so just go for quantity take a bunch of shots well that's a good one the tongue is hanging out there sloppy tongue i think i got some great ones here yes yes it's a tasty ear I shouldn't put that peanut butter behind my ear this morning all right the rest really just comes down to patients and experimentation you try a few different environments they're looking sad you can take them out on a walk or try to engage them in something they like to do hopefully with any luck by the end of the day you have a few different shots with Frank you
