Best canine photography book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Despite how we see dogs as innately photogenic, there are specific techniques that transfer that into a treasured print. This book covers the details of lighting, positioning, equipment, and even canine anatomy to capture the beauty of a dog, whether that beauty is in a classic sense or behavioral humor. I've been photographing for decades with professional cameras, but only after reading this book could I know how to capture the such elusive things as my black dog's coat. Both a joy to read and extremely informative.

I read this book from cover to cover. I loved the way it was written. I enjoyed Kerrin and Dale's personal stories as well as all the great tips they provide. I've been taking pictures of my pets for many years with my Pentax K1000. While I was reading this book I noticed that my pictures had dramatically improved because I was putting in more time planning the pictures before I took them. I'm sure that now that I've completed reading the book (some parts several times!) I'll be capable of producing consistently good pictures of my pets and my friends pets.
I wish I had read this book years ago!!

What a joy to read! I couldn't put it down until I had completed it! This is the best money I've spent in a long time!You don't need to be a "pro" photographer to take great pictures of your dog. This book will show you that, with the camera you already own, you can really capture the essence of your four-legged friend. If you don't have a camera yet, buy this book first!! It has wonderful and clear tips on what to look for in a camera. Step-by-step, you will learn that planning is the key to great dog photography. You will learn things like head portraits, how to choose a great location, as well as how to make beautiful action shots. There are stunning pictures in this book that will inspire the photo artist in you. I wish that I had this book years ago, when my first dog was still alive. Pictures like these would have brought me joy long after her passing. On the other hand, I'll be ready for the next puppy!Whether your dog is noble, courageous, dignified, tender, or just a clown, the techniques in this book will help you capture these qualities on camera, and will provide you with additional and poignant memories of your best pal for years to come.
