As someone who is still very much a beginner in photography I am constantly scouring the internet for useful information. YouTube has been an excellent source for learning everything from lighting (still working on that one ha-ha) to all the features of your my camera and more.
I have picked up a few books along the way and subscribed to photography magazines. I am constantly reading and then attempting to recreate what I have read. I don’t really have a specific genre or style of photography that I adhere to at the moment but I would say it is pretty clear that I like to take pictures of Oshie ha-ha. So I was surprised and ecstatic when I came across a post from the Fuji Film WordPress blog.
There are many photography blogs on WordPress that provide me with all kinds of inspiration and knowledge but this was the first post I had seen specifically about pet photography. Below is a description and link to the article. If you are a pet blogger or just like taking pictures of your pets for Instagram or Facebook I would suggest you check it out!
Pro photographer John Rourke has put a few tips together that might be fun to try out if you want to get a great shot of your pooch…. some of them might even work on the kids too!

I love the shots you get of Oshie. I have wanted to get a little more into photography myself, but I read the article you mentioned and it was all about 10 feet over my head. I use my smart phone’s camera most of the time. LOL

haha I know what you mean. I started with photography in August of last year. At first I was so overwhelmed but the internet and youtube in particular are a blessing. Smartphone cameras work great and can be enhanced just by altering angles you shoot from. Getting on your dogs level is always better. Entry level DSLR cameras from Nikon and Canon can be had pretty cheap used from ebay and other sources and are miles better than a cell phone even with the standard lens that they come with.
