Nope, not Christmas, it’s a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. You met this little Maltese sweetie in Who’s Your Daddy with her Doberman house brother, Buc, but here she is all by herself. This is another example of using a prop, in this case cheerleader pom poms, to confine your subject. Obviously the paper can’t hold her when she wants to leave, but she’s not quite sure she can move around freely yet. Take advantage of those few minutes as she figures it out.
You can also have your assistant slip a hand under the boa, cloth or paper and actually rest a hand on the subject. It serves two purposes. One, they feel more secure, and two it’s further proof to them that they cannot move. It gives you a few more minutes to get the shot you’re looking for.
We are still recovering from our weekend of events. Pet Fest 2009, on Sunday, was absolutely wonderful. If you were there leave a comment. From my vantage point I saw over 30 rescue groups passing information and spreading good will. I saw many, many products and services useful for all pet owners It seemed a good time was had by all. Mark your calendars for next year. I know I will.
Next weekend – Boxer Bash!
