Kitten Photography.

Some people feel the same way about their pets as they do about their kids. When the kids are gone the focus turns to pets, and if you have a brand-new kitten, the photo opportunities are practically endless. As an hobbyist photographer, I may take lots of pictures of my family pet, but unless I learn to take better kitten picture.

I read a  few tips to help you take better kitten pictures.
INCREASE YOUR SHUTTER SPEED.
Kitties move at the speed of light. Unless you pump up your cameras shutter speed, you’ll end up with more blurs than photos that you can keep. One way to increase shutter speed is to increase the amount of light in the shot. This could happen by moving the subject, your kitten, to a better and more lighted location.
It could also mean increasing your ISO setting to a higher number. Moving the ISO higher than keeping the aperture the same will increase shutter speed. Try to avoid using the flash, because it usually causes artificial looking colors.

 CHANGE YOUR ANGEL.

Snapshots of pets are usually quite boring and dull simply because they all look the same. The photographer is standing or squatting above the pet. If you get down on the same level as your kitten, you will immensely increase the interest of your shot. This may mean having your camera right down on the floor, but if you try it, you will be happy you did.
