Inspiration
It’s not hard to understand why pet photography is such a popular genre – if you live with an animal, you probably already have a camera roll dominated by their likeness. But there’s a difference between a quick snap of your pet and a serious photograph. These dates in August are two reasons to do it properly. Pay attention to light; give proper thought to the background; get down to their level; and use every shred of camera knowledge to make some truly wall-worthy photos of your companion. Settings for Success Many X Series cameras now feature AI-powered subject detection, which can help you nail focus every time. For photographing cats and dogs, set your camera’s focus mode to AF-C or AF-S, then go to the Q Menu and set the Subject Detection setting to Animal. If you’ve changed your Q Menu to no longer have this setting, just press MENU/OK and go to AF/MF SETTING > SUBJECT DETECTION SETTING. 8 August, 26 August: International Cat Day, International Dog Day Pet Photography
