Bakersfield California Pet Sitting
I
n our neighbourhood in Bakersfield California, Pet Sitting has become popular for several of the people that own pets there. We wanted to do something fun with the pets last year so we all agreed we would talk to our pet care givers about the possibility of taking pictures of our pets. The idea was to do an individual photo of the pet, one with the pet parents or family, and then one of all the pet friends together. We had tried to do something similar another time but were not exactly able to pull it off like we wanted. Pets as anyone who has ever tried to photograph them are not that well behaved in front of a camera, how do you realistically ask your pet to sit still and pose? It’s literally impossible for someone that is inexperienced. So we talked to our Bakersfield California Pet Sitting program and asked them to give us a hand. Ok, so obviously we informed our dog’s caregiver that we wanted to prepare a type of holiday greeting card or portrait we could send out to friends. In the end we were able to hire a professional pet photographer who took some beautiful photos. He also filled us in on what to do if we ourselves wanted to take photographs of our pets. He suggested that one very important thing was to have lots of film, and to have a zoom lens at hand. Digital cameras can also be used but they delay a little and more photos may need to be taken. Natural light is the best since a flash might cause red eyes. Black dogs might need some extra lighting pointing at them, finally but not least, don’t work alone. |
