So I have this little cute 9 week old pup, I can't get her to keep still! It's been raining daily so the lighting is awful, what can I do to get some good shots of her? Wait until she is sleeping??? lol

When I photograph my animals indoors I usually use off camera lighting.
Here is one I did of my Chihuahua, Pixi.

We gave her a bath, let her run around, then snuggled her until she got sleepy, then I had Michael stand behind me with her favorite treat, cheese. LOL Then I just had to snap fast. I love photographing our furkids, but it is definitely a challenge. I'll take furkids over infants & toddlers any day though.

And a good shot it is! The lighting in this old farmhouse is terrible, so I use my hotshoe flash a lot, and never like the results, I will try to find more lighting!

BTW my pups name is *Dixi * lol

Hello Photogs.....

I am this (-) close to purchasing a Canon Rebel T3i. Does any one have one or have any experience with it's previous model the Rebel T2i?

I have several click and shoot cameras, but they don't always allow for the kind of photographs I want. I want to be able to control my depth of field.

This Canon seems to be an excellent starter D-SLR, I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks!

If your point and shoots have manual mode then you can control your Dof.

I thought the Sony might...but NO!....the Sony is pretty old, and still pretty big for a point and shoot, but it takes good pictures. Then I started to get into *pocket sized* they serve a purpose. I'm really missing my 35 mm days. I swear I have a camera for every year I have lived

Thanks to all those tips left in rep comments ~ I had no idea so much info fit in there~ I'll keep looking. This is supposed to be the Christmas for Cameras!

The Sony A100 is my DSLR. And I've been very happy with it for a couple reasons, but I will have to look into the DOF more this weekend to answer your question.

Sadly, I dropped the camera getting out of a train seat this summer. The image stabilizer was affected, and I was a given a $350 repair estimate by the local camera shop, which I declined. There is a depth of field preview button, and some have found the 1/4000 max shutter "limiting" for DOF.

My DSLR is a Canon 7D, but I have a Sony Cybershot P&S, and I use the camera on my iPhone a lot.
