> How do you get decent dog photos? We have major arguments ONLY when taking > photos. Is anyone on the list a pro photographer? Any special hints???? > First rule: be calm. this will fool the dog into thinking that this activity is not important and he might cooperate out of a combination of boredom and couriosity, Two: be calm. this will be helpful during the divorce, and might cause the dog to sit quietly and watch for further activity. Three; be calm. One of you make the dog sit-stay on a table, stool, whatever is safe but also isn't big enough for him to run around. The other have the camera ready, in focus, all set to go. Four: be calm, it isn't anyone's fault the dog jumped off the table/stool and broke the flower pot, ran through the dirt, into the house (and WHO left the door open? hummmnnn?) and straight into the bedroom to hide on the white bedspread. Five: be calm. by now the dog is slightly abashed and you two are too tired to fight, so you might get a good photo after you reset the dog on the table/stool and offer him a cookie. It usually takes a roll of film to get that good one, and it is usually the first one or two 9before the debacle begins) or the last one or two (after the dog gives up and accepts his fate with a smile and the bribe of a cookie). Finally, be calm. A few hints: sit the dog in the shade and use just a little flash, he will open his eyes for you, in full sun they all squint, great for poodles and Dobes but not pretty for Cavaliers and Cockers and Chihuahuas!
