People have said how hard it is to photograph black dogs! So I'm going to give a few tips.

MY TIPS!

 

Taking a good photograph of a black subject is one of the hardest kinds of photography! More so if the subject is an animal in this case a dog. But the a few ways of getting around this problem.

Tips on taking good photographs of your black dog!

  1. Try to have the light coming from the side falling on the dog's head!
  2. Ask a friend or member of your family to hold a large white card to the side of the dog! Pointing it towards the dog's head. This will reflect light to his/her face and highlight the dog's eyes! This is very important.
  3. Sometimes I use a fill-in flash! This is a small amount of flash used in daylight again this is to highlight the dog's head.
  4. When taking photographs in low light i.e. late evening or if I would to take a photograph with a background of snow! I use a hand held flash gun pointing it down towards the dog head. So any shadows are behind the dog. However, this is just about as hard as it gets.
  5. To get a good photo of your black dog will need to take a lot pictures.

To Sum-up I hope this helps people take better photos!
