Snap Happy Pets Make Perfect Photo Subjects
Photographing pets poses a few challenges as pets move and excite easily. Use gentle restraint, wait for calm moments, or lure with treats to capture steady images. Have an assistant help position, and shoot fast with 1/100 second or faster if needed. Include canaries parrots and other home pets for variety.
