Tips for Taking a "Calendar Worthy" Picture
- Get your dog to look at the camera, preferably at eye level.
- Try to shoot in natural light instead of relying on your flash.
- Avoid heavily cluttered backgrounds; you want the focus to be your dog.
- Beware of shooting in direct sunlight as it increases shadows.
- If your dog is dark colored, take the photo in front of a lighter background.
- If your dog is light colored, take the photo in front of a darker background.
