Hi all,
I have had a few compliments on my bunny photographs, so I just thought I'd let everyone know how I get my bunny photos, as it's really very easy, and you don't need much to do it.
The background is vital, cluttered backgrounds with odd bits and bobs of things are distracting and ugly, so I use a sheet or big bit of fabric (as you can see, my purple bed fleece is my favourite for this!). Hang it up onto something so that it's forming an 'L' shape from whatever you hang it from and coming across the floor. Make sure there are no creases in it as far as you can.
I find the best place to do this is to have a large open window to the left or right of your sheet (a window in front can work, but you risk overexposing your photo or casting shadows on your bun). Avoid direct sunlight, but make sure there is a lot of light. Don't use a flash unless you have to, as this will make your photo look 'washed out' and your bunnys eyes may go red.
You can use lots of things (like the ribbons in the photo above) to make it a little more interesting.
You don't need an expensive camera to get good results, these photos were taken with my DSLR, but I have got almost as good results with my phone camera using this method before. You can also use an image editing program to clean up any creases, add borders etc. to tidy up your photos.
All you need now are some cute poses from your bun!
Here are a few other shots I took this way:
Hope somebody finds this helpful!
