Furthermore, I have five techniques that will allow you success in capturing your awesome pet picture, they include: keeping the eye sharp, use natural light, go to them, experiment, and include people.
1. Keeping the Eye Sharp
- Focus on the pets eyes
- Use Micro setting to capture the close-up shot
- Pet's eyes can be very expressive
- "Eyes are the window to the soul"
Keeping this in mind can allow you to catch an awesome close-up picture of your pet. Rather it be from their gorgeous colored eyes to their cute little noses. From the picture above is my baby lion-head rabbit Pixie. I took tons of photos to capture this awesome picture, which I have hanging in my room.
2. Use Natural Light
- Always use natural light
- Avoid any flashes
- Go outside
- Go in a room with windows
3. Go to Them

- Shoot from their eye level or below
- Show the way they see the world
4. Experiment
- Try different approaches
- Angles and composition

- Take a lot of pictures
5. Include People

I always use Canon Camera. Canon to me is the best type of camera to buy, I love all the features it displays and the quality of the camera. I just recently bought a Canon Rebel T3 camera and I absolutely love it. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest of photography.
