It's no secret that I have a thing for animals. I do, true. What did surprise me was how many animal photo's I had made favorites on Flickr. It seems a waste to keep these babies to myself, they are so happy producing that I thought it might be nice to share and my pal Candace Ang has been asking me, 'Where's the baby animals?' So here they are! It seems I have a thing for chicks, no? That top photo of the chickens is hands down one of my favorite photo's it has such sharpness, great color and depth of field (all that blurry background) and bokeh (those light bubble thinga ma jiggers).
If you have lost your marbles on the photo realm like myself (hey, my drawing skills are so sub par this makes me feel like I can at least achieve some creative rendering skills in my lifetime), I think that's one of the reasons I have gone over the deep end. Anyway, if you have, here's some great links to improve your pet photography. If I could have any job right now, I would be a professional baby animal picture taker. That seems like a perfectly suitable profession for me. I like the idea of cuddling with my subjects between takes, something that doesn't go over the same way on a fashion or lifestyle shoot.
Here's some links and pet photography inspiration to taking better snaps of your fur babies:
This is also one of my FAVORITE blogs, Grace of Shine Pet Photo Blog is always super generous with her information AND inspiration.
Good photo's of pets requires a patient hand
She's not a pet photographer per se but I loved this photo of a pet and his family and would love to recreate this type of image with my own babies. Take a look here.
I hope this has inspired you, tomorrow the talented Christa of Baca Creative has created some seriously sa-weet downloads for you. So mosey on back soon..
