@Sharon, I am assuming you have a Nikon from your use of the word Speedlight. Nikon makes an accessory that essentially covers the camera flash from creating those green eyes, but still allows the Speedlight to fire. Here is the part number: Nikon SG-31R. Good luck.

I am starting to photography animals at my local Humane’s Society to help increase the adoption with better photographs. But when I have to shoot indoors, I get the ugly “Green eye” effect. I am using a light box with my speedlite inside, which fires wirelessly by reading the infrared light from my built-in flash on my camera. I believe my camera’s flash is what causing the green eye, not the light box, but even when I’ve tried diffusing it with tissue and a transluscent card in front, it still doesn’t prevent the green eye effect. And my built-in flash has to be up in order for the speed lite to go off. Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks for the tips Darren:) I find it really hard to do good quality shots of my black Belgian shepherd. The dog is immensely active and shooting him is like shooting the lightning:) If I don’t have enough time to set my camera well, the majority of shots are overexposed:( The dog is really beautiful and I would love to do good images of him. Maybe you could give some tips for this case:) I would be grateful:) Greetings, Danka

I came here to get some tips on taking pictures of my ferrets. These will be very helpful! The best shots I have of them currently, is when they are either sleeping or have just woke up. The rest of the time they are little blurs:) Here is a picture of my ferret Morgana. This is one of my favorites…..

This is an untried thought… but if your pet is camera shy, why not try clicker training it to the sound of the camera click? I.e., have a session with your pet where every time you snap a photo, it will make a click and then you give your pet a treat. In under 5 minutes, your dog is going to think your camera is the bee’s knees! I’ve done similar things to condition my dog to other things that made him uncomfortable, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work just as well with the camera!

I’m on a mission to get a good photo of my black cat. Handsome in real life…hilarilously awful in pictures. Thanks for the tips. Hopefully with these, I can get a few pics of him good enough to post.

This is something I love the most taking shoots of my darlings. I have a series of shots on my facebook account that I’ve wanted feedback on for a while.
Out of everything I take the most pictures of my dogs or my aunts dogs.
It’s always been the easiest for me to do because I have a huge yard where I can run ahead of them and bend for them to come after me.
If not they’re just too lazy to get when I’m standing hahaha
