Hi All,
I've been wondering, how do you all take such good pictures of your rabbits?
I have a digital camera and try to take lots of pictures of my two buns but
only some turn out and the others are way too dark.
I do have some pictures at webshots under honeybrat100, but they are not as
good as any of the ones I've seen from this group.
Thanks for the help!

Michele ... I think a lot of it has to do with the resolution of your camera. Some of the early
cameras and the cheaper ones don't have enough mega pixels to get a really great image for a larger
photo size. My opinion is that anything below 2 mega pixels won't give you a very good photo. I'm
still working with a 2.1 mega pixel camera which does a fairly good job but I'd love to have a 4 or
5 mega pixel (maybe some day). Then, of course, the lighting in the room will play a part in it
also. Do you use a flash? Last, but not least ... You can always tweak your pictures with a program
like Paint Shop Pro or Photo Shop. You can lighten them, add more contrast, change the size and just
make them look better in general.
Don't know that any of this will help, but maybe will help you understand the process a little
better :-)

It did help scGram, thank you very much. Hopefully you all will be seeing
some pictures soon.

1.3 megapixals is more than good enough for www use as Internet explorer only
displays pictures at 72 dpi.

That is of course the real secret of good photos, when you open a magazine and
look at the photos they have all been cropped, resized, retouched, and
brightened / darkened to give that "perfect photo", the original was probably
one sided, to dark or bright, and had something that needed removing from it.
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?

Some of the pictures that you have taken suffer from the amount of light
available. If you are indoors using a cheap camera which doesn't allow you
to change the sensitivity it will always prompt you to use the flash which
typically results in the pictures being ruined as there is too much light
from the flash. If you don't use the flash then you will get 'camera shake'
and the picture will be blurred.
If you wish to take better pictures of your bunnies I would suggest firstly
a more natural setting such as in the garden (if you have one). This will
also have the added benefit of being a lot brighter than indoors so the
points I mentioned above wont apply.
You could think about upgrading your camera but you might also consider
buying a cheap digital photography book first so that you get the most from
what you have.
