Animals Photo Assignment

For this week's photo assignment I to capture animals.  While photographing animals you want to capture the character of the animal.  If you have a really playful dog taking a picture of it sleeping wouldn't be a good representation of how the dog really acts.  A more appropriate picture would be of it running through the yard or playing with its toys.  Taking pictures of animals is a difficult task since they do not like to remain stationary while you take their picture.  A fast shutter speed is required to eliminate the blur from their movements.  Also, it is impossible to tell when an animal is going to do something photo worthy so you have to remain patient and just wait and see what the animal gives you.

Shutter Speed: 1/250
Aperture: 8
ISO: 800
