Pumpkin Patch Dog Photo Inspiration
@thegoldentwo scored a cute pumpkin patch dog photo and not just due to the adorable golden retriever that seems to be able to smile also by using the angle and position of the dog looking up and surrounded by pumpkins. The position of the photographer overhead created a fun frame for the photo.
Also notice the way the light hits this pup evenly and the focus is on the dog. The pumpkins are a bit blurry in the background as the dog is the focal point. You can capture this same shot with your adorable dog.
@arnpriorfarm is the Instagram account of a working sheep farm. their photo showed some great pumpkin perspective when photographing one of their working dogs in their pumpkin patch. They are showing off their dog friendly pumpkin patch with a great photo that you can easily duplicate.
Even though the dog has its head turned the interest of the pumpkin and unique perspective makes this a great shot. The pumpkin is centered in front of the dog and takes up the bottom third of the frame.
Unfortunately to give this dog friendly pumpkin patch a visit you have to travel all the way to Scotland.
@thegoldentwo provides another example of a pumpkin patch dog photo which is equally adorable as the others. It may be the dog subject matter, but likely also due to the addition of a fall bandana and a change of perspective.
Note this dog is standing slightly behind a pumpkin that adds to the fall theme but does not overtake the shot leaving room for the adorable dog subject. To have a pumpkin themed shot pumpkins really only need to be in the background. The photographer has also bent down to be on level with the dog.
We love good photo props to add interest to any photo (check out our 30 dog photo prop ideas at the link on our home page.)
Also stay tuned for our Celebrate Senior Box Launch which will have a seasonally themed dog bandana in each box.
Farley and Jaxx of @adventures_of_farleyandjaxx may be more well trained than your pups (certainly mine!) but they offer us a fun idea and something to aspire to. I do not believe I could get one of my dogs standing on a pumpkin while I took a picture let alone two but aren’t they handsome!
Give this one a try on your next visit to the pumpkin patch and you will have a memory to cherish.
We found this adorable pumpkin patch dog picture at the Sidewalk Dog Blog in their article on 6 Friendly Dog Pumpkin Patches in Washington. Not only did this photo grab our attention due to the adorable husky which seems to be smiling but also because he seems to be holding a pumpkin he picked out himself!
Play around with where your dogs sits in relation to the pumpkins like this dog photographer did here.
