Here are some tips for getting the best photos of Greyhounds for rehoming...

Have the dog with someone or off the lead, so they look happy, confident, and like a pet. If you have them on a lead, make sure it's very slack for the photo, so it doesn't look as though they're pulling.
Have the dog against an attractive background. Check the background to make sure there's nothing ugly in it, and nothing that might look as though it's sticking out of the dog.
If possible, take them on a bright or sunny day. If the flash goes off, it's definitely too dark! Give it up until tomorrow.
Have the sun behind you, so it's shining on the surfaces of the dog that will be in the photo - but watch out for your own shadow.
Crouch down to their level, and get them facing the camera as much as possible. Their personality won't come across if you can't see their eyes.
Fill the frame with the dog. If the dog is a small part of the overall photo it makes it difficult to trim it down later without the quality deteriorating.

• Learn how to use the Review function on the camera so you can check what you've got on the screen. You'll often see things you hadn't noticed as you were taking them.
• Be prepared to have good photos of some dogs immediately, but to have to spend a lot of time on others.
• Take plenty, they're free! Then if the dog has blinked in your favourite shot, you'll have a fall-back.
