You don’t have to be a professional photographer to take professional looking Rottweiler pictures. You could use an expensive, 35-mm. single-lens reflex camera or disposable camera to take pictures of your Rottweiler, but a digital camera works even better because it gives you the option of deleting your bad shots instead of paying to have them processed and printed. With digital photography, you get instant gratification, and digital cameras are more environmentally friendly than disposable cameras.

Taking pictures of a pet can be problematic. You have to get your Rottweiler to sit still and pose, and your dog probably doesn’t have much of a vocabulary beyond the commands sit and stay. There are lighting and backdrop issues to deal with, and you need to be sure you’re shooting at your dog’s eye level. Don’t worry. You’re going to get five great tips that will solve all these problems and get you started taking fabulous pictures of your Rottweiler.
Tip one is to prepare in advance for your Rottweiler photo session. Before you start taking your Rottweiler pictures, you should make a list of all the equipment you’ll need. First, make sure there’s a fresh memory card in your camera with plenty of storage capacity so you don’t get a card full message when your Rottweiler finally strikes that perfect pose. Start with fresh batteries, too, and keep a spare set handy. Decide whether you’ll take pictures of your Rottweiler inside or outside, and secure the location if you decide to shoot outside so your dog can’t run into traffic. Make sure all your backdrops and props are ready and close at hand.

Tip two is to ask someone to help you. Trust me, when you’re trying to take great pictures of your Rottweiler, you can’t also be the one staging the dog, posing the dog, chasing the dog, grooming the dog, lighting the dog – you get the idea. Ask a friend who likes your Rottweiler to act as your assistant for a few hours and help you take pictures of your Rottweiler. After the photo session is over, give your helper a framed print of your Rottweiler as a thank you gift.
Tip three is to plan your background carefully. Nothing is worse than taking great Rottweiler pictures in front of a cluttered background, with laundry, dishes or newspapers competing for attention with your dog. To avoid clutter, use a solid-colored background to make your Rottweiler pictures the best they can be. Many photographers agree nothing looks better than a background of water – the ocean or a lake.

Tip four is to use dog toys and other props. Props are required when you’re photographing a Rottweiler puppy, and they add detail and interest to pictures of older dogs. Place a brightly colored ball or stuffed toy near your Rottweiler, grab your camera and wait for the perfect shot.

Tip five is to get down to your dog’s eye level. The best Rottweiler pictures are taken at the dog’s eye level. Don’t be afraid to get down on the floor with your dog and take pictures. If you’ve been taking pictures standing up, you’ll be amazed at the difference in the pictures you take at your dog’s level.

With these great tips, soon you’ll be taking amazing pictures of your Rottweiler.
