photograph pet?

   
       
         
 

We anticipated that the pets would be going to be moving a great deal, so always use a fast shutter speed to avoid having the image blurred by the pet's movement. Shoot at a minimum of 200. However, if you want to get a sense of speed in your photos then try to use a slower shutter speed like 15-30.

Since you are going to shoot a lot with a small aperture and a fast shutter speed, you will need ISO 200-400 depending on the lighting condition.

If you are inside a room, you may be able to expose using only available daylight coming in through a window. More likely, you will also need supplementary lighting. Flash on camera is the best option. However, to improve your result bouncing the flash to the ceiling or reflected from about a 45" angle would be excellent.
