So, lots of people ask how I get good pictures of our animals. How I get them to cooperate. And really, it's quite simple. With my horses, I just go out there and pet them for a bit. I bring treats, too. Then they're ok with me being there and will usually stand there. Then I start taking pictures. Look for opportunities at different angles. With some eye shots, I usually hold their nose with one hand and then use the other to take the picture. But, be nice :) My horses are pretty much used to me messing around with them and they love the camera now.
Now, dogs, are a different story! They don't like to hold still. So just be their friend, let them be natural. Also, get down on their level. Especially if they are small dogs. Just have fun with them. And always be ready to snap a shot. Treats and toys are good bribes to get them to hold still and look at you (the camera).
Here are some recent pictures of the animals, and some landscape shots. It looks like fall here, but it's winter :)
