Chicken Photoshoot

[Fanci Feathers Marans]

Any expert photographers out there? Any amateur photographers like myself?
There is always that one chicken that won't sit still. Or that dog who thinks he just has to be in every photo.
I am posting this to get some opinions on how to get the best shot. I try to attract them with treats, but they never pick their heads up! How do you guys do it?

I can never get a good photo! Whenever I takes it they turn their heads away and their bottoms to me!

I am not good at photo shoots either

I have gotten a few good shots in the past though. I just leave them be and see what I can get. A few of my chickens love the camera though, they are great posers!

Although they aren't great, I like them

Here's a few of mine.... I get my best shots by making sure they're well fed first, so they're not clingy, and then letting them out to free range. I just follow them around with a camera and take 200--500 pictures.

I wrote this up a bit ago. Maybe you all will find something useful in it. If I have time I plan to expand on it and go into a bit more detail.

Great article @BantyChooks! I love that towel idea!
@sassysarah123, she is not. Fat. How dare you! Sara is a celebrity chicken... or is it Cindy? Anyway, fine picture of that fine lady.
@RodNTN, those are great! So clear. I really like the colors in that second photo.
