Tip of the Week

When photographing pets, you don't have to get their whole body.nbsp; Pet shots are often very similar and boring (LOLCatz aside of course).nbsp; So how do you get something a little more interesting?nbsp; Zoom in.nbsp; Don't be afraid to shoot just head shots, or even shots that cut off part of the face, get different angles but try keeping it tight.nbsp; You will find some new looks and experessions you may not have noticed before.
