About this title

From the Author:

This was an easy  book to write, because I wanted to keep the focus on fun. So many folks who take photos of their pets do it on the fly. They don't want a lot of detailed information that will take them forever to master. They want easy and they want to enjoy the process.At the same time, all the techniques of professional photography are included and I've had several professional photographers tell me the book helped them a lot. Mainly because animal photography is such a specialty, so most photographers aren't versed in the subject matter and they need all the help they can get.But really, the pet owner is the best person to make great images of their animals because they are the ones who know that animal best. So that's why the focus of the book is on amateurs and anyone with a desire to improve will find all the answers here.
