These are really good tips, especially the one about shooting in RAW. I never would have thought to do that.

We have 9 cats. Plenty of opportunity to play with the camera. We have a number of good photos of them.

I have 3 huskies, and some of my best pictures of them are when they are just playing together in the yard. I sit in one place, follow them with the camera and click away. Then I move to a different spot and do the same thing. You get great action shots, and even ones when they stop moving for a second.

I’ve been trying to take some good pictures of sweet maltese, but it’s not that easy. I’ll try some of those tips.
I liked this one I took on a car trip. Dogs and car windows, they were made for each other!

My little tip, I know it may seem obvious… If you having a growing puppy, like me, they’ll inevitably rip some sort of squeaky toy(s) to shreds. Instead of just throwing it all away, be sure to keep the squeaker. I leave it in my camera bag. When I’m trying to photo my puppy and needs his attention I just give the squeaker a couple of presses. Usually I can get a good 2-5 seconds of alertness/attention.

I clip off ears sometimes, and it still seems to work as long as the eyes are in focus.
