How to photograph dogs!
« on: August 08, 2011, 11:23:23 PM »
Following on from reading a post here, I came across a link to a book written by Nick Ridley - How to Photograph Dogs.

Nick took a lovely pic of Meg & Charlie at Crufts this year and I like his photos so I thought I would buy the book.  Well I found a good used copy on Amazon and I like what I see.  It was written a fews years ago so the kit it refers to has moved on a bit but the book shows lots of pictures with the camera settings and suggestions for angles, lighting dr etc.  

Well worth buying if you want to learn how to get the best from your pictures even if you only have a ordinary basic camera although you'll get the most of it from a SLR camera with manual settings.

but shop around as I only paid £4.50 WITH P&P for mine!
