Panorama photography is frequently used to capture the beauty of a wide mountain range or a bright beach when a simple photograph cannot adequately depict the scene. The term “panorama” refers to a technique that involves the use of specialized equipment or software to create photographs with horizontally expanded fields of vision.
The camera gets its job done if the subjects aren’t moving. Like a mountain, it won’t move, right? But what if someone happens to walk into the frame while you’re taking the picture, it will transform that person into a hilarious Cerberus or some other monster.
Anyways, we noticed that some cheerful animal panorama pictures needed to be placed in a separate list from our epic list of panorama shots. That is why we have compiled a collection of animal genre panoramas for you all because we want your room to be full of laughter. So, keep scrolling down and have fun!
It’s perfectly alright to photograph your pet with two tails or four legs when taking a good picture of them. But, you’d have a much more serious problem if all of your photos turned out this way!
It all started when Alexandra Robins was photographing dogs in landscapes for her final thesis at university and realized she had a natural talent for it. She stated: “Before that, I actually always had aspirations to become a wildlife photographer but dogs were a much easier subject to get hold of for my project. My love for it grew from there and I decided to start my own business a couple of years after.
Photographers of pets work in a more restricted setting than those who shoot in wildlife, but they still have to deal with various difficulties. Photojournalist Robins says “Young dogs and puppies sometimes have lots of energy which can lead to great action shots but it can make it tricky to create pretty portraits,”
Robins said, “I ask owners to walk their energetic dogs before the session.” She also stated: “When photographing cats, not all of them are outgoing and they are sometimes a little timid. I’ve had to gently persuade them to come out of hiding with toys and treats.”
A pet photographer in Dallas, Texas named Jenna Regan said the same thing. “The trickiest challenge I face when photographing pets is that each of them is different and requires me to adapt my approach,” Regan once informed: “All these decisions and connections are happening pretty quickly with pets I’ve likely just met.”
“I have to be prepared and guide my clients and their pets into the best possible situations for their needs. I can’t start a session expecting each pet to react the same way or be ready or willing to do the same things as any other previous pet. It’s important to stay patient, read the pet’s body language, and set the pet up for success.”
Furthermore, the entire experience can be enjoyable for both you and your pet. Regan, who selected this career after taking a photography class in her final year of college, believes it all comes down to how you approach it. “One tip is to set yourself and your pet up for success by making it fun and incorporating your pet’s favorite things and activities. Before your pet is in front of the camera, decide where, when, and how.”
According to the photographer: “Using my puppy, an 8-month-old Catahoula named Rowdy, as an example, I know he would do better in a quieter environment with fewer distractions so that’s the type of location I’d be looking for,”
The photographer explained. “Also, I know he is high-energy, so we are going to play and explore for quite a while before I start photographing him. I’d have all his favorite treats and toys so I could keep his attention and make it interesting. And since he is young and still so much a puppy, I also wouldn’t worry as much about whether he is sitting, standing, or positioned a certain way as long as he was focusing on me and listening.”
Want to know her number one tip? It’s to go with the flow and be patient. Regan said: “I often find my favorite photos and moments during a photography session occur when I’m truly letting each pet be themselves and explore and interact in their own way.”
“I’m a big fan of bribery. I always make sure to reward the pets I photograph with their favorite things whether it’s toys, treats, attention, or even all three. And the bottom line is really to remember to have fun with it! Keep photographing, rewarding your pet, and making it fun. Both you and your pet will get better and better at it!”
Alexandra Robins once added: “Learning animal behavior and doing research on the animals you photograph will help you a huge deal when it comes to managing them and more importantly, you learn what not to do so that your pet is always happy and comfortable,”
In terms of specifics, Robins claims that getting down on the animal’s level allows you to capture the greatest, most attractive shots.
“Yummy treats on hand or squeaky noises will help get them to look at you although, don’t overuse these too much or they may get bored. Avoid photographing them in harsh, bright sun or dark spots like under lots of trees. Keep an eye out for any dark shadows and make sure they’re evenly lit instead. I shoot when it’s overcast or under light shade.”
Most importantly, don’t force anything, and don’t rush your pet. “Take your time and even take playtime breaks,” Robins said. “They are in tune with our emotions and can tell when we are stressed which will reflect on them.”
