How To Take Horse Photos

By Virginia Wright


Having a set of photographs of your pets is something that most pet owners want. They can either have the photographs framed and used in decorating the home. Alternatively, they can just use the photographs as a souvenir that they can hold on to remind them of their pets. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when taking Horse photos.

To get good photographs, it is important to ensure that that the photograph is weak lit. Taking photographs of areas that are brightly lit will result in photographs that are overexposed and have a lot of harsh dark shadows. Furthermore, ensure that you properly set up the camera as improper set up can also result in the over exposure and wash out.

For the non-professional photographers, it would be more convenient to set the operation of the camera to the automatic setting. This will make it easier to use and allow you to get very good photographs without having to struggle with making the camera settings. For experts, the manual setting will suit them more as they can identify the best settings needed for the photograph.

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.

To add life to the photograph by showing animal expressions, you can use sound stimulation to achieve this effect. This involves using different and weird sounds to force a reaction on the animal. A few of the expressions by pets is cocking the head to one side, ear propping and brightening of the eyes. By using sounds, you are thus able to convince the pet into using expressions.

It is not an easy task to take photographs of a pet who is uncomfortable with the process as they do not make good photograph subjects. This also applies to stubborn pets. For such pets, the best option would be having someone else hold the pet down as another takes the photograph. The process is also easier as the background can be easily removed.
