- In this video we look at how to capture awesome Treat catching photos with dogs. I take you through how I set my camera, the gear I use as well as a demo with our own two models. I will help you understand that you do not need expensive gear or even high shutter speeds to be able to capture great sharp images of dogs in the moment just before they snatch the treats out from in front of the camera. Stay tuned to the end for the final images from this shoot.

Thanks for the video. Would love to have seen how you actually constructed the 2 Lights off to the side. Thats some ingenuity!
Thank you. I need to make new ones that are a bit more stable and easier to work with. Making a video of the process might not be a bad idea at all.
Very nice lighting set-up👍
Subscribed...please share more videos!
so cute and amazing video!
Thanks Bhavesh. Hope it can help some other pet togs out there
New subscriber here. Learning indoor pet photography with my doodle, he’s definitely a challenge to work with. I Love your photos photos
Thank you. I am hoping to get to some now content soon!! For now i have only been doing short videos on TikTok. Go have a look at the channel there in the meantime ; )
Awesome work, very cool to see the slowmo as well!
Thank you!!
Nice one, simple and easy for beginners. Try it with a giant molossus breed, like the Dogue de Bordeaux :-)
Oh wouldn't that be fantastic... I would just have to be careful that they dont swallow the camera hehe
Great video with such lovely dogs. Sub +1
I like the slowmo video as they catch the treats.
Can you do a video on the lights, build? they look really interesting.
The photos was a bit too fast during the shoot. I liked the set at the end.
I'm looking forward to more. Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback bud. Will definitely look at your suggestions
Great job! I love your DIY ice lights too!
Thank you Amy!!
Thank you!!
Love this! Tried with a friend's dogs a few weeks ago- but none of them really caught. Going to try again with our doggies. Might take a while to get them catching like yours😍
Hi, thank you. Yes I have also struggled with most dogs we have tried this with. That is why I used my own 2 girls in the video since im used to them and can predict their movements easily. I hope you managed to get some good ones with your own dogs
Fantastic! How do you make them so crisp, whit such a low shutterspeed? You said that you used a slow light and compensate with ISO?
Yes, using a lower flash power allows you to capture action. Because the flash is so short it freezes everything in the frame
Great Video, I will have to give it a go, what bracket are you using for your DJI Osmo action camera on the top of your DSLR please?
Thank you!! I have a Hotshoe adaptor for the action camera.
Great inspirng video! Do you continues press the BBF while shooting and throwing the treats>?
Thank you!! Yes i hold the button and have the camera on I-servo or continuous focus
Mate. First can you send your pooches to me in the UK? No! Seriously, what a wonderful short easy, straight to the point video. One thing I like to ask. "What is the platform material you are using and, how high is it"?
Haha, Lara would not make it in the cold!!! Lisa would LOVE the snow : ) For this shoot it was just wood board on some pallets. I normally use something more like a old coffee table or if the dogs dont want to be on something i will set it up on the floor. And then i have a roll of Black/White vinyl that for the background and floor. I have actually changed to the black perspex or plexiglass which allows me to get some reflection in the photos as well
@@shuttermuttspetphotography562 hi can I ask where you bought your black plexiglass you mention in the comment? Thanks
Sweet. it's nice how Laura waits patiently while it is Lisa's turn! I would not have guessed 1/200 (is that right?) is fast enough to capture them.
The 1/200 sec itself is not fast enough, but the light in the room is so dim, that the appr. 1/10000 from the flash is actually doing the exposure. And that is fast enough.
So if you would make the room dark enough, even 1/50 would be ok. But at that darkness you might run into autofocus trouble.
@@KaiMattern To make the room dark im using the aperature, You can see in the video the room is brightly lit with natural light. As long and you have the exposure dark you will capture what is lit by the flash
nice video! Did you have one focus point on your camera setting or several in order to capture the focus? and did you shoot with spot metering? thank you in advance!
Fantastic. Great help. Will try thiis with my dog Jerry 🐶
Hi, no i used multipoint focus to be able to shoot without looking in the viewfinder. I also use Back button Focus to shoot that way. I used average metering, i hardly ever venture into spot metering
@@robdido Thank you
Great question Isabelle!
Seems so simple... But requires a lot of practice to catch the moment. And when you can do this with your own dog, and want to do the same trick with the client's dog... Well, it is not an instant success story! :D Time consuming - be careful when pricing!
Yes, alot of practice!! We have found that not many other breeds do this but have been successful with the ones that do. Once you have the technique it is all up to the dog you are photographing.
Wil jy nie my maar leer nie😂
