Hi ya'll, hey has anybody figured out how to take pictures of their dogs without the eyes looking wild and crazy? I have the red eye protection button on, on my camera, but still......thanks, Jane

If you can make the flash operate without taking a picture (like a flash test button) try that first. It sometimes helps when taking pictures of people

The best way is to try and get a shot of them before the sun sets and widown light is soft and provides some very pleasing results. If you can't get the light inside by opening blinds, drapes or what have you, another great way with flash is to bounce the light off the ceiling or an adjacent wall. I have a Canon S5IS camera with their 430EX flash that allows you to bounce the light off the ceiling, adjacent wall or even the wall behind you. The flash must have the capability of rotating and swiveling the flash head for you to be able to do this, naturally. Just be sure that wall is white!!

I'm going to get some cheap shop lights from the hardware store and use those as a cheapo lighting setup until I have the money to get the good stuff. As of now, I hate flash except in certain situations, even if I have the detachable swivel-head flash. I take most of my photos outside. I guess I just prefer natural lighting. >^^;<

So if you don't have the option for a special flash, turn that flash off and turn on as many lights as you can, or go outdoors if it's daylight.
