Dog Photography Tips in the Morning Light

By KRae Merk | May 6, 2010

I’m sure this dog photography tip is in all the photography text books, but I’m going to say it again; aside from the evening light, the morning light is the best photography light, hands down.

I’ve read Scott Kelby’s Digital Photography book about a hundred times and I firmly believe in all his tips and tricks. But one I have used explicitly is his preaching about morning light, since I photograph dog and cats about 90% of the time, so I use morning light all the time to get the beautiful soft glow on the dogs coats and even, if I’m lucky, a outer glow on them which turn out most of the time the best photos in my collection.

Another morning light dog photography tip I love is the light shaft trick. I usually can find a morning light shaft filtering in through the trees or something, and try and get the dog into it. That part isn’t always easy. But the dogs stop in the light shaft of their own decision and all I have to do is hit the shutter button.
