The
left menu lists different photo albums where I posted
my best Leonberger pictures. Next to walking, playing and working with
dogs, I love taking pictures of them best. Looking back at puppy pictures
of Yoshka it is pretty clear that I was not born a great photographer.
Over the years, with the help of friends, books and losts of experience,
I have gotten better and better. There are two essential components to
work on - the technical side of photography and the training of your
dog. Most
pictures I have taken of Yoshka and many other dogs, I took by myself. That
is only possible
if the dogs know basic commands and will stay in the place I assigned
them and in the position I put them. If you have someone
else to help who is good in handling dogs
and
puppies without stressing them, you might be able to get good pictures
of untrained dogs/puppies – but
it is sooo much easier with trained dogs.
I wrote a list of tips for taking good pictures of dogs that was published in the LeoLetter. If you are interested, you can download a pdf file here. I have also taken pictures of non Leonberger dogs and posted the best on a separate misc dog gallery.
