self portrait saturday: with a pet!
It's Saturrrrrrday! I don't know what it is, but these weeks lately are just flying by! I'm glad you decided to visit #6 of the Self Portrait Saturday linkup series!! I was a little sad that not as many of you linked up last week, so I'm hoping this weekend will be better! The theme is a fun one. It's "with a pet". If you don't have a pet, or you can't do this theme, why not try with something else you love!? But for those that do have a pet... I wanna see you link up!
If you read my blog the other day, you would have seen that we just lost our family cat. It's so sad to think about, but just knowing that he's in a better place now and that I still have the love of four other little monsters makes me grateful for them. That's what this weekend's theme is about. Unconditional furry love.
I took so many consecutive photos with my little pup Bear! It was honestly bunches of fun and he was being so cute. I figured it was definitely necessary that I wear my bear hat in spirit of him! My kitty Nugget even joined in half way through so I just had to share those photos too so he didn't feel left out!
My test shot actually turned out pretty alright, so I decided to include it too! It's so strange, this is actually the most comfortable I've felt doing one of these. I think I was just loving playing around with them and wasn't worried about anything else.
Tips and Tricks:
- If you're taking pics with your pets, it doesn't help if you just grab them and start shooting. Wait for them to come around and get comfortable. Remember, they have no idea what you're trying to do!
- Autofocus and a remote works best for these because animals tend to move around a lot. You don't want to spend all your time focusing in manual and hoping for clear shots. Autofocus, baby! The remote helps so you don't have to keep getting up and down! If you don't have one, you really should get one. Mine is some "made in china" cheapo one I bought on Ebay for about $5. It works!
One of my favs from last week:
Maryam did some cool closeups with a cute pink telephone for our "with a prop" theme! Love the retro feel!!!
