Take a photo of pet with an iPhone

Nowadays, most families will keep pets. Gradually, canvas prints people also take them as members of the family and take artistic photos of pets for them, hoping to continue the happiness they bring to their owners. Therefore, in order to show the humane side of pets, we need to master some mobile phone shooting skills, using iPhone to record the wonderful moments of pets, which is very important for the selection of the environment. In daily life, not all environments are suitable for photographing pets. If we want to better display the appearance, details, behavior and other characteristics of pets, we need to properly match and choose the background, lighting conditions, hair color and other factors according to the shooting environment. Let's take a look at it in detail.

Keep it simple

The most commonly kept pets in the family are cats and dogs, online canvas prints both of which are not very large in size. Even large canine pets are small compared with our living environment. Therefore, when shooting these pets, we need to keep the picture simple to achieve the purpose of highlighting the subject.

When photographing a cat, the white wall and white carpet can be used as the background for composition shooting. Such a simple picture can highlight that the cat cannot blur out the messy background as the SLR camera can, so we need to clean up the shooting environment.

If you're indoors, get rid of clutter -- dirty socks on the couch, the TV remote, the baby's toys on the floor -- and anything that might be distracting or not add to the story behind the photo. Outside, you should also choose simple places, such as grass, sky or walls. You don't want to have a garbage bag next to your dog, do you?

Shoot more scenes

The lively and active pets add too much fun to us. If we only choose to shoot them on the sofa or the floor, is the picture relatively simple? Of course! So you should change the scene a bit, and trust that cats and dogs are great models for amazing photos. You can choose to shoot the cat on the sofa. The cat's fur color is matched with the brown sofa to highlight the pet's posture and expression.

Choosing a pet's favorite hangout is a great way to make them feel at ease and at ease, so home is the most common setting to shoot on, say, the floor, the sofa, the cat's den or the balcony. A moving look in their eyes, when the body stretches mischievous appearance, can be recorded in these Settings. In addition to being at home, you can also take pictures of your pets when they go out to play, such as parks, beaches or even community streets. Are cats and dogs very unusual or excited to see something new? So grab your iPhone and take a picture.

The pictures of cats in their litter show the details of their life, and the pictures are very vivid. We say that the cats and dogs in the activity are clever, and in the car, they are generally more naughty and excited. You can take pictures of your friends in the car with you. The interaction between a cat and a human adds interest and story to the picture. Try it.

Shoot in a place with good lighting

When photographing your pet with your iPhone, it's best to choose a sunny day and use a natural light source to place your pet on a windowsill, a light-permeable window or outside for shooting. Outdoors, be sure not to shoot in direct sunlight on your pet, as this will make the color look over-saturated. You can shoot in cloudy weather or in mild sunshine. If the sun is really bright, you can put your pet under a cool tree, but the spots on the leaves will affect the effect. In addition, due to the naughty nature of pets, we need to set the mobile phone to a higher shutter speed, or they will make you shoot a virtual image.

When photographing pets indoors, you can choose a location close to the window. Shooting through the light scattered from the outdoor into the indoor can make the pet more clearly present in the picture and get high-quality picture quality.

Close-up highlights the animal's body detail

In addition, we can also shoot pets by close-up, showing local details of the pet's body in the picture.

When taking close-up pictures of pets, it is better to take pictures of pets who are resting or do not move around for a while, because our iPhone is equivalent to a fixed-focus camera, which does not have the function of telephoto. Only when the iPhone lens is close to the pet can we take close-up pictures. There are many close-ups of pets worth taking, such as their cute little heads, ears or claws, which are all very interesting pictures.

The golden section makes pets stand out

The golden section is a classic composition, and it's great for pets. Especially when taking pictures of pets in their whole body or large scenes, arrange pets in the golden section of the picture. Even if there are other scenes in the picture, pets can be highlighted.

In addition, if you want to focus on the detail of a local close-up on the pet's body, you can arrange this local close-up near the golden mean.

Friend often use this method can quickly find the location of the golden, but for composition more unfamiliar people, determine the golden point method is: open the iPhone in the composition of a line set up, open the composition of a line, the composition of a picture will appear in the viewfinder (radius 3 tiles) line, each intersection is equivalent to the location of the images of the golden point, to the performance of pet to be placed in the intersection, you can get a good picture.

Grab the pet's eyes

The eyes are the small Windows in the hearts of all animals. When we cannot perceive emotions from them statically, try to observe their eyes, from which you can guess their emotions at that time. Therefore, when you photographing animals, remember to focus on their eyes. Take the most attractive eyes that give them soul as the key point, and use a telephoto lens to blur the sundries in the foreground and background, which can make the picture more effective.

What's more, pets' movements are hard to predict, and it takes a lot of patience to capture them looking at the camera, although there are a few tricks you can use to coax them to look at the camera. When the big eyes staring at you, seize the opportunity to press the shutter, believe that a good work was born.

For pets, it is their nature to be lively and active. They are so energetic that you can't help but pick up your iPhone to shoot. However, if you want to solidify their natural and perfect facial expressions, you can't press the shutter slowly. Because these actions can be fleeting, using the iPhone's continuous snap function, it is constantly snapshot, choose the most dynamic one, can greatly improve the success rate of photos.

It should be noted that we should also pay attention to composition when long pressing the shutter button to take a picture, frames for canvas so as to prevent the head of the animal from going beyond the picture. At the same time, if you are indoors, choose a place with good lighting to ensure a clear picture quality.
