I finally got out my camera (as opposed to my iphone) and tried to get a decent portrait of my new dog, Gypsy. Here (above) is the first one I took. It may be the best one, but I didn't stop there.I kept snapping away:
The hardest part was trying to get some expression on her face. For the next one, I meowed (for the life of me, I have no idea why blogger won't post this in the correct orientation!):
And I thought I should get at least one that had her whole body in it:Eventually, Gypsy grew weary of the whole thing, and I remembered Shimelle's idea about just putting your camera on the ground amd pressing the button:I learned that shooting a dog portrait was much harder than I imagined! So, which is your favorite shot (#1-6)? And a couple of questions for you dog lovers - do you have any great tips to share for shooting pet portraits? And, what kind of dog do you think Gypsy is? We've been thinking she's a Norfolk Terrier mix, but I'm curious what others think.*****************************************************************************
