You don't have to be a professional photographer to take professional looking pictures of your loose-skinned Shar Pei. You could use an expensive camera, but an inexpensive disposable camera, digital camera or camera phone is even better because it gives you the option of deleting your bad shots instead of paying to have them processed and printed. Use a digital camera if possible. Digital pictures also give you instant gratification, and digital cameras are greener (more environmentally friendly) than disposable cameras.

Digital photography makes it easier than ever to take stunning photographs of your Chinese Shar Pei. By following these easy tips, you can take Shar Pei pictures like a professional. You'll have Shar Pei pictures so great you'll want to put them in a digital photo frame at home or on your desk. You'll have fabulous pictures that you can print and paste in your Shar Pei scrapbook. Shar Pei pictures are perfect for your desktop wallpaper or for sharing with friends and family online. Your Shar Pei pictures will be beautiful if you follow these five tips for taking digital pictures of your dog. Capture your Shar Pei's personality in pictures.

Taking digital pictures can save you considerable money over traditional prints from film. With digital photography, you only pay to print the pictures that you want to print. Blurry shots, overexposed frames, red eyes and other bad Shar Pei pictures disappear into the virtual trash can with a click of a button.

Tip one is to be prepared. The more you are prepared to take your Shar Pei pictures, the better the pictures will turn out. If you're organized, you can focus on your dog and on getting the best possible pictures instead of worrying about petty details. Before you bring your Shar Pei into the process, get out all the cameras you're going to use. Check the memory cards and batteries in each camera and have several sets of fresh batteries nearby. Choose the area where you will take your pictures, and gather any backdrops or props you want to use. Have some dog treats on hand to reward your dog for sitting and staying.

Tip three is to be aware of the background. The Shar Pei, with its neutral coat and loose skin, photographs well against a light, medium, or dark colored background. Your foreground and backdrop should be neutral and uncluttered so the focus of your Shar Pei pictures is correct.

Tip four is to use props. Props can make your Shar Pei pictures special. Props are especially important when you are taking pictures of a puppy, and you want to emphasize the dog's youth and small size. Colorful dog toys are popular choices for props, as are stuffed animals, oversize shoes and potted flowers.

Tip five is to take pictures at your dog's eye level. Don't take Shar Pei pictures from a standing position. Get down until you are eye level with your Shar Pei, and then start taking your pictures. Candid shots and the portrait shots of your dog gazing into the camera will look better if the camera is at eye level with the dog.

With these five quick, easy-to-follow tips, you'll soon be taking professional quality pictures of your Shar Pei.
