Taking Pictures

Follow these instructions if you are using a digital camera or a 35mm.

A digital image could be as little as 700KB to 1MB if it is taken as close as one can get to the pet. The more information there is in the picture, the more detailed the portrait will be.

• Take your picture in the shade
• Take it as close to the pet as possible
• Take care to avoid sunny shadows falling over your pet.
• Do not take the picture in direct sun.
• Afternoons or early mornings are best as the light is soft, make sure the sun is behind you (or to the side) and not making your pet squint.
• Taking your picture inside is OK, but try to get as much inside lighting as possible.

You can send one perfect picture with the composition the way you like it or send as many pictures as you want. If you want a combination of pictures (the background of one and the pose of another, feel free to do so.
