]]> Comment on Photographing Pets: Cats by kernix http://blog.proudphotography.com/2009/08/07/photographing-pets-cats/comment-page-1/#comment-48 kernix Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:29:46 +0000 http://blog.proudphotography.com/?p=750#comment-48 I have a pet sitting business where I offer my clients free pet portraits. I add a link below to my portrits galleries, but I'd like to add a few things. To get my cats attention (to look at the camera) I woof or dog bark sound - believe me, that gets their attention every time. I prefer using a 50mm lens f1.8 opened all the way to 1.8. Using that setting you have two positive results: 1. The background is thrown out of focus which makes a fantastic portrait, and 2. A fast shutter speed is set to make the proper exposure, which helps if they are moving around a lot. Also consider taking the photos outside with some kind of foliage or background that is contrary to their main fur color. That way they really stand out.

I spent a little more to get the ioSafe Solo. It's fireproof and waterproof (hey, you never know, and who wants to take that risk with your photos), and you can get 500 GB for under $250. Anyone else tried it? An external hard drive is an absolute necessity! I spent a little more to get the ioSafe Solo.
