Parks are shut down. And self-isolation has many photographers stuck at home and desperate for creative stimulation, forced to participate in social distancing. Of course, it\u2019s tough to find inspiration to do anything creative these days, especially when your typical go-to photography subjects are on lockdown. But quarantines and shelter-in-place orders don\u2019t have to pause all of your photography.

That\u2019s why now is the perfect time to break into astrophotography. This is particularly great for those who live in more rural, country areas; you have limited light pollution which means those stars pop like crazy. For those in the city, this may not be as readily possible, given the increased light pollution. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darksky.org\/our-work\/conservation\/idsp\/finder\/\">International Dark Sky Association<\/a> has a map of the darkest places in the country to help you see if your area is optimal for astrophotography. For best results, wait for the days surrounding a new moon, and shoot for those clear, cloud-free nights.

Try aerial shots, head-on angles, and action photos, with different parts of the meal in focus.

So think about pet photography as more than just a creative project \u2014 it\u2019s giving you the chance to help others in need (via adorable animal), while social distancing! Now, whether you\u2019re doing it for lighthearted&nbsp; reasons, or you just need another excuse to photograph your pet, here are some tips. Get on your pet\u2019s level; photographing head-on helps their emotion and personality come across better than a shot from up above. Also, talk to them while you\u2019re shooting. Nothing\u2019s cuter than a little head-cock or perky ears. And don\u2019t forget action shots! Crank that shutter and capture your pup jumping for a ball, or photograph your cat pouncing on its favorite toy. These action shots are not only adorable, they\u2019ll help you train for wildlife excursions like safaris for life post-pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-63397\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/architecture-photography-anders-jilden-Sc5RKXLBjGg-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Architecture photography\" class=\"wp-image-63397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/architecture-photography-anders-jilden-Sc5RKXLBjGg-unsplash.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/architecture-photography-anders-jilden-Sc5RKXLBjGg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/architecture-photography-anders-jilden-Sc5RKXLBjGg-unsplash-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@andersjilden?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Anders Jild\u00e9n<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.
