If you have a red-eye eliminator on your camera, keep that turned on. Its not perfect but it helps. Basically, it does a little quick flash to get the eye to close up a little before the big flash for the picture goes off.

Its really hard to not get that unless you have a flash (or a light source) to the side of the camera. For humans, you keep red-eye away by making sure they don't look directly into the flash (a little off to the side is what your after, or directly into the lens) but dogs see the flash and thats what they look at. Your best pictures are going to be done with natural lighting. Keep the shades open if its daylight and night time you don't really have a lot of options.

But of course, thats why they make programs that easily get the red-eye out after the fact....



Thank you for the pointers. I am going to use the red eye feature next time I am taking indoor pictures of Kiki. Maybe the glow won't be as bright (or probably she will just shut her eyes).
