One of my goals recently has been to capture my dog\u2019s personality through photography.\u00a0 We love to go on hikes together and I\u2019ve been trying to put together a collection of images for posterity that reflect these good times. My first attempts at getting those shots weren\u2019t the most successful. A perfect pose lost in a second by the distraction of a squirrel or a dog that was too excited to adventure to be bothered to stay in one place for any length of time.\u00a0 Over recent months, I\u2019ve seen some more success, so I\u2019m sharing some tips that have helped me and may help you to take great outdoor adventure photos of your dog too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lighting matters<\/span><\/h2>\n

The great thing about outdoor adventure photos of your dog is that you’ll get the best light conditions when you’re outside. With longer days and improved weather, now is the perfect time of year to have a go.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find a tranquil spot<\/span><\/h2>\n

Choose a quiet location with a suitable back drop where your dog won\u2019t disappear in the landscape due to lack of color contrast. Finding an area within an easy drive of where you live that\u2019s not crowded with other dog walkers will be your best option.<\/span><\/p>\n

Calmness is key<\/span><\/h2>\n

Encouraging your dog to burn off some energy prior to the shoot with a walk or run or ball play helps get the wiggles out and makes for a calmer time on the photo shoot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take the natural approach<\/span><\/h2>\n

Don’t try to put your dog into a specific position. Let him adopt his own natural pose, so that he is comfortable and relaxed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider your dog\u2019s age and health<\/span><\/h2>\n

An older dog with medical issues may not be inclined to participate in more strenuous action shots, while a young pup is unlikely to sit in one position for long.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Create a diversion<\/span><\/h2>\n

Use treats or toys to get his attention and to avoid him being distracted by other things around.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get down to earth<\/span><\/h2>\n

Towering above your dog doesn’t always work for photos. Be prepared to get down to the same level as the dog by sitting or lying on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more the merrier<\/span><\/h2>\n

Take multiple shots using a burst mode or continuous shooting mode. You’re more likely to capture a range of expressions that way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use additional software<\/span><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to use editing tools after the photo shoot. It’s a great way to remove a leash from a picture, or improve the color contrast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have fun\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re relaxed, he\u2019ll be more relaxed too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not install your<\/span> pet barrier<\/a> and head to your favorite outdoor spot with your pup and get snapping.\u00a0 We’d love to see your photos!<\/span><\/p>\n
