Re: Photographing puppies

LOL 2 suggestions from me - either put the camera on a timer then you will have a few seconds to put puppy into a nice position and stay by their side to keep them in place.

Or...

This is what iv done with Atlas.. Played with him until he was tired in the room i wanted the photographs taking (change rooms and they will want to get up and play/sniff around) and waited for him to nod off. He was quite easy to manipulate after he was zoned out! LOL x

Thats exactly what I told Bazza to do DC. When they are a little tired they will watch and look but usually stay still, no stress, no pressure.

This takes me back to trying to get shots of Gryphon - either fast asleep or doing 0 to 100 in 6.5 - the bit just as he fell asleep was the only time I could nail him down.
