Guidelines When Taking Horse Photos

By Virginia Wright


Most pet owners ensure that they have a lot of photographs of their pets doing various activities as a way of storing memories are just as a fun activity. Some of the owners even have the photographs placed in neat and beautiful frames which are hanged on the walls to decorate the home. There are some guidelines you need to have in mind as explained in the article to get the best Horse photos.

The first main thing you need to consider when taking the photographs is checking the lighting of the area when taking the snap. Taking the photographs in bright sunlight will result in harsh shadows in the picture or overexposure of a section of the photograph. Improperly setting the camera can also lead to a complete wash out of some areas of the photograph.

It is also important that you get the automatic cameras instead of depending on the manual ones. This is because with the automatic cameras you are not expected to balance a lot of settings and still get the best photographs. However, for an experienced and trained photographer, they can opt to get shots using the complex set of settings needed to operate the camera.

If possible, avoid using the flash as this tends to alter the coloring of the eye of the pet. It also alters the coloring of the pet coat by bringing out the textures and shading which would have been lost during an overcast day. However, you need not to constantly worry about using the flash function due to fear of causing red eye as the red eye is easily removed in the digital photos labs.

To ensure that the pets stay in place for the photograph, you need to have some supplies with you to help ensure it stays in place for example toys, helping hands. Treats sand patience. The level of training of the pet will also determine the ease at which the photographs are taken as the pets remains calm and cooperative.

In some photographs, you may require the pet to face the camera directly. This may prove to be a difficult task if one is not familiar with the pet. But as the owner, you can easily use treats to woo the pet into looking directly into the camera. As it is difficult to woo the pet and take the photograph, you are recommended to have someone else to help you out.

For best pet photographs, the pet should show an expression in the picture. To stimulate these expressions, one can use multiple types of sounds to make them react in a specific manner, for example, twitching or propping the ears, brightening their eyes and the pet cocking its head to one side. These reactions are seen as expressions which are important aspects of a good photograph.

The key to getting the best photograph is ensuring that the pets are as relaxed as possible. You thus need to ensure that you are patient enough to handle the pets during the photograph session to avoid making them more stressed and anxious. At times getting an extra pair of hands to help settle down a stubborn pet will be if much help. Furthermore, you can still remove the background of the pet being held afterwards.
