Every pet parent knows how difficult it is to get that calendar-quality photo of a beloved cat or dog. This is especially true for people like me who have a nice expensive camera who have no idea how to use it! This guide to pet photography is long overdue! Pet lovers will find terrific tips to help them capture their pets personalities in photos, while professional photographers who want to extend their business opportunities will value advice on the unique challenges of working with animals and creating the portraits their clients want. With pet owners comprising more than 62 percent of Americans, there is an eager amateur market for a book that reveals how to get great photos of those furry family members.
I love Beautiful Beasties. This book is written in plain English, so you can really understand the hows and whys you need to do what you need to do. We have a black dog that doesn't usually photograph well. I found out why that is, and how to fix it so she will photograph a whole lot better! I also love that there is a chapter about how to price your services if you are professional photographer!
If you want to take the best pictures of your pet that you can, you have to get your hands on Beautiful Beasties! Lucky you though, I'm giving one away! Here's what you need to do:

Getting the dogs to look at the camera or trying to get action shots as they happen.
My biggest problem is often getting "red eyes" shots of the dogs.
For me, it's capturing the spirit of the moment
Getting them to stay still.
They move way too much
They won't cooperate!
having the pet look at the camera
keeping them still
My calico always closes her eyes in every shot
The wagging of the tail always plays with my auto focus !!
I am sure this is Photography 101 but the red eyes are a problem. Also I think I missed something. After the words . Here is what you have to do there is no instructions just Additional rulse are. If this is a rafflecopter giveaway too bad. Rafflecopter has been having its problems lately. sometimes i think it has bitten off more than it can chew. . In some contests there are 70 or more entries…REALLY?
Not rafflecopter. There should be a Punch Tab form to fill out.
keeping the pet within the photo frame while I set up my camera is too hard!~
I can't get them to keep their eyes open!
i have a really hard time getting them to be still!
They can't stay still!!
My biggest challenge is getting them to pose.
