Your Rottweiler is always there for you as your canine friend, and these five tips for taking digital pictures of your dog will help you capture your Rottweiler’s personality in photographs.

Tip one is to use an equipment checklist. The better prepared you are to take your pictures, the better the pictures will turn out, because you can focus on your Rottweiler and on getting the best possible picture instead of worrying about petty details. Before you involve your dog in the process, get out all the cameras you intend to use. Check their memory cards to make sure you have plenty of room for storage. Load fresh batteries in each camera and have replacement batteries handy. Choose the location where you will take your pictures, and gather any backdrops or props you want to use.

Tip two is to get someone to help you. Once you pick up the camera, you have your hands full. You need an extra person on site to act as your assistant, and help pose your dog while you take the pictures. Choose someone who your Rottweiler likes. Taking pictures together will be a fun adventure for the three of you together on a weekend or one night after work. Be sure to serve appropriate refreshments during the photo session, for you and your dog, and thank your assistant after the session is over by sending him or her one of the great Rottweiler pictures you took with your assistant’s help.

Tip three is to plan your background carefully. Select a location for your Rottweiler pictures. If you’re taking pictures outside, you will find that the deep black coat of the Rottweiler looks particularly good against a background of green grass and blue sky. With that color combination in mind, you may want to use blue or green fabric if you are taking your pictures indoors.

Tip three is to use a backdrop. The Rottweiler, with its deep black coat and tan accents, looks best photographed against a light or medium colored background for contrast. There is not enough contrast in Rottweiler pictures with a dark backdrop. Your backdrop should be uncluttered so all the attention is focused on your canine subject.

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 can’t sit on the floor because of physical limitations, then try to place your dog on an elevated surface, or sit in a chair and hold your camera low. These helpful tips will help you get the very best pictures of your Rottweiler.
