The more you take the better you get. Ever try a photo editor program AFTER you take the picture? I always use one to lighten, crop, etc. Does your camera have a "macro" setting to be used for closeups? I love photos when they look over the side of something!  |

Use flash more. Maybe that'll help. Or catch him while eating.

Probably half the photos I take I dump - but because the flash "burns out" the gerb, especially if light in color (too light). The trick is to have the gerb close against a medium grayish background - then the camera's meter is not fooled. |

Oh Yes I take a picture almost every day and none of them are good :DMegs told me that it helps if you the mode to focas on the small object(the hamster) rather then the backround but still need to figure out how to do that |

When the tiny flower is displayed on the display screen, (meant for small objects, such as flowers etc.), my hamster pictures come out so much better! Hope that helps |

If taking closeups you must use the macro setting or equivalent.
