What are the precautions for taking pictures of pets?

As we all know, when you go to the zoo and live aquarium to take pictures of animals, there will be tips next to you. Don't turn on the flash. Similarly, for babies, it is best not to turn on the flash when taking pictures. If you want to shoot the wonderful moments of the babies and make the shooting effect natural, then the following precautions must be remembered by car owners.

Different pets need to grasp their own personality characteristics in order to take good-looking photos.

First, the key is to grasp their personality.

When you find these cute little animals doing something unusual or very interesting, you can take a snapshot at any time. For example, the innocence of a kitten or a puppy dozing off on their favorite mat is more touching than the posture they are forced to pose. Don't forget to use close-ups when taking close-ups, because if your lens itself is too close to pets, they will definitely not pose for you like models or big stars.

Second, pets with dark hair are difficult to take pictures.

When taking pictures of them, we must pay attention to making the shooting background appear brighter. In addition, when shooting pets, you should pay attention to the position of shadows, just like shooting other objects. When using the flash, be careful not to let the pets have "red eyes". You can shoot in a bright place without using a flash. If you must use a flash, don't let your pet's eyes look directly at the lens to avoid the phenomenon of "red eye".

Third, how to take a good group photo?

When taking a group photo of several puppies or kittens, it is best to put them in a basket and let them snuggle up to each other, so that the shooting distance can be easily adjusted. If you want your pet's eyes to be aimed at the camera, you can gently call their names or use a sounding toy to attract their attention. In order to take ideal photos, you should not only prepare enough film, but also be patient, because all the professional animal photos you appreciate are taken by photographers after spending a lot of energy and time.

Fourth, the big photo of the child and the dog.

When taking pictures of children playing with pets, we should pay attention to the fact that people and animals are at the same level. If your pet is very big, you can let it lie next to your child to get the ideal composition.

5. How to shoot running dogs?

We often see some pictures of dogs running, which are very impactful and dynamic. So how do you take such a photo? There are also some tips. There are many kinds of dogs, with different sizes and characteristics. Generally speaking, large dogs have good running form, flexible limbs and beautiful running posture. It is much more difficult to shoot a running dog than a still dog, because the speed is too fast, so the shutter speed is higher. It usually takes more than 1/500 seconds to freeze the running picture well. At this time, we need to set the focus mode of the camera to continuous shooting mode, and use a partner to press the shutter when the dog starts running. continuous shooting usually has a high success rate. There will always be one or two moves in several photos taken in succession.

6. Don't use the flash to take pictures of the puppy.

Puppy's eyes are not yet mature, and at the same time, because the retina is not yet mature, sudden strong light will change retinal nerve cells, and BB's lacrimal gland is not yet mature, lacking the basic functions of blocking strong light and protecting retina. Therefore, when the puppy's eyes encounter strong light such as electronic flash, it is likely to burn the fundus retina and cornea, and even lead to blindness, and the closer the flash, the more serious the damage to the retina. Especially in the case of dim indoor light, the pupil of the puppy's eyes is wide open, and the intense direct flash suddenly shoots into the little guy's eyes, which will damage the fundus retina and seriously leave a lifelong hidden danger.

In order to see more baby's big black eyes, we turned off the flash and switched to natural light to shoot during the day. And turned on the flash, the big shadow is not good-looking. When it is cloudy or the light is bad, improve ISO. Although it is dry, you can still see it. If you can use a SLR, open the aperture. Try to reduce man-made harm to the baby.
