leopuppy04 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well - since I have some extra hands over the weekend and next week - I'd really like to get a shot of all of my 6 babies in some sort of 'candid' pose. Now getting 6, 6.5wk old puppies to sit still would be quite a difficult task I am assuming - especially because the likes of sit and stay are not part of their vocabulary What would be some tips, ideas and suggestions for having a go at this? What type of props should I use in order to get them to sit nice? Should I use my wide angle lens so I can be closer to them and still get a good pic?! Help wanted!!

Tintin Jac Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Sorry, not able to help with advice. But can't wait to see the results!! Sounds like you have some fun ahead of you - GOOD LUCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I can hear the snickering from here... seems like the thread will have to include outtakes too - of which I am sure they'll be many We had this brilliant idea of getting the two big kids pushing a wheelbarrow with all the puppies in it.... good idea, not sure how shooting will go Bring on the weekend!!

Tilly Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Take photo's of them in garden pot's ... that way you can do it as single photo's and photoshop them together Good luck at getting all 6 looking at you at the right time - I couldn't even get our two older dogs looking at me at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aziah Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If you have a large toy box that is low enough for them to 'peek' over that works well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 so does having them all in a run or pen and having a second person call them towards them. You only get one crack at it as they go past but it's so worth trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 awesome - thanks for the ideas everyone! I'm sure we'll have a crack at them all and you can all have a laugh at the shots I come up with Chezz - I had the same thought about the wheelbarrow too - that they'd all try and jump out!!! Wish me luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm thinking this thread is simply a feeble excuse for group shots of puppies. Bring it on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
