7 lustige Ideen für Haustierfotos: Tipps und Tricks für die Haustierfotografie

Für die meisten Tierhalter ist es selbstverständlich, ihren pelzigen Freunden Wertschätzung zu zeigen. Schließlich tragen sie dazu bei, dass wir uns jeden Tag glücklicher fühlen. Doch das Leben kann sehr hektisch sein, weshalb nicht immer genügend Zeit bleibt, um unseren Haustieren die Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken, die sie verdienen. Deshalb möchten wir dir einige Tipps und Tricks zum Fotografieren verraten, mit denen du die besten Fotos von deinem Haustier machst. Wir haben eine Mischung aus witzigen Porträt- und Schnappschuss-Ideen für dein Haustier zusammengestellt. Anschließend kannst du die Bilder in deinem Portemonnaie aufbewahren, mit Freunden teilen oder in eine öffentliche Nixplay-Wiedergabeliste hochladen.

7 Lustige Ideen für Haustierfotos 

1: Fotos vom besten Trick deines Haustiers

Das ultimative Hundefoto! Zeige die Fähigkeiten deines Haustiers mit einem Schnappschuss von seinem besten Trick. Ganz gleich, ob es sich auf die Hinterbeine stellt, Hände (oder Pfoten) schüttelt, eine Rolle macht oder einen anderen lustigen Trick vorführt – dieses Bild ist mit Sicherheit ein echter Hit. Wenn die Fotos unscharf sind, versuche, sie im Serienbild- oder Live-Modus aufzunehmen. Denke daran, dass du mit den Smart- und Touch-Rahmen von Nixplay sowohl Videos als auch Fotos anzeigen kannst – mach dir also keine Sorgen, wenn dir nicht das perfekte Standbild gelingt und wähle stattdessen ein Video!

Dein Haustier kann keine Tricks? Kein Problem! Ein süßer Schnappschuss, auf dem es sich von seiner besten Seite zeigt, ist genauso gut.

2: Fotos von deinem Haustier an der frischen Luft

Es ist bei jedem Wetter schön, Fotos von deinem Haustier unter freiem Himmel zu machen. Ob beim täglichen Spaziergang, an seinem Lieblingsplatz im Freien oder bei einem kleinen Fotoshooting im Garten – wenn du dein Haustier in seinem Element festhältst, erhältst du mit Sicherheit ein fröhliches Foto, das du mit deiner Familie und deinen Freunden teilen kannst.

3: Fotos von deinem lächelnden Haustier 

Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass ein bezauberndes Foto eines in die Kamera lächelnden Tieres zu Herzen gehen kann. Warum also nicht einen Schnappschuss von deinem Haustier teilen, auf dem es sein schönstes Lächeln zeigt? Einfach, aber wirkungsvoll ist die Verwendung eines Schwarz-Weiß-Filters, um einen zeitlosen und professionellen Look zu erzielen.

Das könnte ein bisschen schwierig sein, aber wir sind sicher, dass ein kleines Leckerli nicht unbemerkt bleiben würde!

4: Fotos von deinem Haustier mit seinem Lieblingsspielzeug

Eine weitere großartige Möglichkeit, ein tolles Foto von deinem Haustier zu machen, ist ein Fotoshooting mit seinem Lieblingsspielzeug. Von Quietschspielzeug und Kuscheltieren bis hin zu Spieltauen und Hüpfbällen – jedes Haustier möchte sein Lieblingsspielzeug zur Schau stellen und dies ist die perfekte Gelegenheit dazu. Warum also nicht einen Schnappschuss (oder zwei) von ihm machen, wie es mit seinem Lieblingsspielzeug spielt oder sogar im Schlaf damit kuschelt? 

5: Fotos von deinem Haustier zur Fütterungszeit 

Du servierst deinem Haustier seine Lieblingsspeise zum Abendessen? Dann präsentiere ein Foto, wie dein Haustier eine Gourmet-Mahlzeit genießt. Ein Schnappschuss eignet sich gut, aber du kannst auch eine lustige Szene kreieren, in der dein Haustier wohlerzogen am Esstisch sitzt. Oder noch besser: Nimm einen anderen Blickwinkel ein und zeige deinen pelzigen Freund mit einer Kochmütze bei der „Zubereitung“ des Essens! 

6: Fotos von deinem Haustier in einer Verkleidung

Zieh deinen Haustieren Sonntagskleidung oder ein lustiges Kostüm an, um deinen neuen Fotos eine besondere Note zu verleihen. Von falschen Brillen bis hin zu Pullovern und Hüten gibt es eine Reihe von Kleidungsstücken für Haustiere, die du ausprobieren kannst – aber zwinge sie nicht dazu. Wenn sie sich nicht wohlfühlen, platziere sie stattdessen einfach in einer lustigen Szenerie! Ob sie nun ein Buch lesen, am Computer sitzen oder auf einem Liegestuhl im Garten ein Getränk zu sich nehmen, es entsteht mit Sicherheit ein unbezahlbares Foto.

7: Fotos von deinem Haustier mit dir

Hab keine Angst, ein Foto mit deinem Haustier zu machen! Auch wenn du lieber hinter der Kamera stehst, verdient dein Haustier ein Foto mit seinem Lieblingsmenschen. Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass auch du dich darüber freuen wirst. Ganz gleich, ob es sich um ein Selfie, ein professionelles Porträt oder einen Schnappschuss von dir beim Faulenzen im örtlichen Park handelt – ein Foto mit deinem Haustier wird für viele Jahre eine wertvolle Erinnerung sein.

Tipps und Tricks für die Haustierfotografie

Du fragst dich, wie du deine Fähigkeiten beim Fotografieren von Haustieren verbessern kannst? Haustiere sind unberechenbar und bewegen sich oft ziemlich schnell, daher kann es schwierig sein, den richtigen Moment festzuhalten. Hier sind einige unserer besten Tipps für die Haustierfotografie, um dir den Einstieg zu erleichtern:

Nimm deine Fotos im Serienbildmodus auf:

Wenn dein Haustier nicht still sitzen kann, steigerst du deine Chancen auf das perfekte Bild, indem du mehrere Fotos auf einmal machst.

Halte Ausschau nach dem besten Licht:

Wie bei jedem Bild ist gutes Licht von entscheidender Bedeutung – besonders bei Haustieren mit dunklerem Fell.

Biete eine Belohnung an: 

Wenn dein Haustier so viele Mini-Fotoshootings mitmacht, verdient es auf jeden Fall eine Belohnung! Ein paar Streicheleinheiten oder Leckerbissen sollten ausreichen.

Der wichtigste Tipp ist jedoch, stets auf die Sicherheit deines Haustiers zu achten, denn es lohnt sich definitiv nicht, es in Gefahr zu bringen, um das „perfekte“ Foto zu machen.

What Sets Nixplay Apart: Choosing the Best Digital Frame

Q&A with Nixplay Founder Mark Palfreeman: What Sets Nixplay Digital Frames Apart

We sat down with the founder of Nixplay, Mark Palfreeman, to talk about what sets Nixplay apart from other frames on the market, and learned a lot about the world of digital photo frames and how to select one that fits your family’s needs.  

Where does Nixplay store the photos uploaded to digital frames? Where do other brands store their photos?

Palfreeman shared that, “One thing that differentiates us from most other brands is that our servers are in the U.S. and our servers are encrypted. With cheaper brands, most of them are hosting users’ content in China, and even then, not even by the company that sold you the frame. So you don’t even know who’s actually got your photos and video content.” 

Does properly storing your photos affect the cost of digital frames? 

Palfreeman elaborated that, “yes, it’s more expensive for us to store them in the U.S, but for us that’s a non-negotiable.” 

Regardless of where you purchase your digital frames, it’s important to know the company’s privacy policy and how they are incorporating security as a top priority in their product from day one.

What kind of software do digital frames use?

Palfreeman explains it like this, “it’s no different than say, a mobile phone, sure you want a nice, shiny phone…but really what makes a phone special is the software behind it, and the apps that support it. Nixplay is no different in that it’s really the software that drives it, it’s the functions and the ability for it to perform what it is you need it to do.” 

Palfreeman elaborates, “It’s really about your photos, your memories, your moments that you want to celebrate with your family, that you want to share with your family, and so really it’s about the platform that supports that.” 

What kind of special features do Nixplay frames have? 

Palfreeman explains two unique features that come with Nixplay frames, “We just released preload gifting last year. So what that means is I can buy a frame, gift it to my mom, and before my mom even receives the frame, I can create a shared playlist, which is basically a curated playlist on Nixplay’s mobile app. I invite friends and family, and they can add photos, videos, video messages, to the playlist. And when my mom turns the frame on, it will automatically start playing that playlist.” 

What’s the takeaway?

When you’re choosing a digital frame, you are investing in the software, the hardware, and most importantly the housing of your most precious memories. Nixplay offers a variety of frames that are secure, supported by amazing software, and come with many unique features. Check out our shop to start sharing treasured memories with loved ones near and far.

7 Fun Pet Photo Ideas 

1: Photos of your Pet’s Best Trick

Whether that’s them up on their hind legs, shaking hands (or paws), rolling over, or another fun pet trick, this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser. If the photos are turning out blurry, try taking them in burst or live mode to try and get the best shot. Remember, with Nixplay smart and touch frames you can display both videos and photos – so don’t worry if you can’t get the perfect still shot, choose video instead!

Your pet can’t do any tricks? No problem! A cute snap of them looking their best is just as good.

2: Photos of Your Pet in Fresh Air 

Whatever the weather, it’s great to get pictures of your pet enjoying the great outdoors. Whether you’re off on your daily W-A-L-K (walk), at their favorite outdoor spot, or you’re trying your hand at a mini photoshoot in the backyard, capturing them in their element is sure to produce a happy photo that’s worth sharing with family and friends.

3: Photos of Your Smiling Pet 

It’s no secret that an adorable photo of an animal smiling into the camera can pull on the heartstrings. So why not share a snap of your pet showing off their best smile? Simple yet effective, you could even use a black and white filter for a timeless and ‘pawfessional’ look.

This one might be a bit tricky, but we’re sure a little treat wouldn’t go unnoticed!

4: Photos of Your Pet with Their Favorite Toy

Another great way to get a great photo of your pet is having a photoshoot with their favorite toys. From squeaky toys and cuddly animals, to tug of war ropes and bouncy balls, every pet wants to show off their favorite toy and this is the perfect opportunity to do it. So why not capture a quick shot (or two) of them playing with or even cuddling their favorite toy as they sleep?

5: Photos of Your Pet at Dinner Time

Serving up their favorite treat for dinner? Share a snap of them indulging in a gourmet meal. While a candid shot will work, you could also style it up to create a comical scene of your pet politely sitting at the dinner table. Better yet, take a different angle and show off your furry friend in a chef’s hat “preparing” dinner!

6: Photos of Your Pet Playing Dress Up

Dress them up in their Sunday best or a fun costume for a twist on a new set of pet photos. From fake glasses to jumpers and hats, there’s a range of pet clothes out there to try – although don’t force them into it. If they’re not feeling comfortable, simply set them up in a comical scene instead! Whether that’s reading a book, sitting at a computer, or having a drink on a deck chair in the backyard, it’ll be sure to create a priceless photo.

7: Photos of Your Pet with You

Don’t be afraid to take a photo with your pet! Even if you prefer to be behind the camera, your pet deserves a photo with their favorite person in the world, and we think you’ll be happy to have it too. Whether that’s a selfie, a professional portrait, or a snap of you lounging in the local park, a photo with your pet will be a treasured memory for years to come.

Pet Photography Tips & Tricks 

Wondering how to improve your pet photo taking skills? Pets are unpredictable and often move about quite quickly, so capturing the right moment might be tricky. So, here are some of our top pet photography tips to get you started:

Take your pictures in burst mode: 

If they can’t sit still, shooting a burst of photos in one go will increase your chances of getting the perfect shot.


Look for the best light: 

As with any image, good light is everything – especially when it comes to pets with darker fur.

Offer a reward: 

Putting them through this many mini photoshoots most definitely deserves a reward! A few cuddles or treats should do it.

But the most important tip is to always remember to keep your pet safe, because putting them in danger to get the “perfect” photo definitely isn’t worth it.

Check out our top 4 pet photography tips to learn even more about how to take good pet photos.

Sharing Pet Photos

Remember not to keep the joy of pet photos to yourself, and to share your awesome pictures with friends and family. Upload your photos to your social media profiles, send them in an email or, better yet, share your photos with other Nixplay users! Create the ultimate pet photo frame with a loving slideshow of your favorite furry friend photos. Sharing memories has never been easier.

International Friendship Day: Different Types of Adult Friendships

Sticky post

Friendships play an important role throughout our lives. They’re a constant and valuable part of our community that offer essential companionship and support. In honor of International Friendship Day, we wanted to talk about the different types of friendships many of us have and how they evolve in adulthood. As we mature and our lives change, it’s natural to have friends that fit different roles or for those roles to change over time. The most important thing is that friends continue to show up for each other in a way only they know how. 

Childhood Friends: The First of Many Friendships

Childhood friends are special for all of us. Whether you met as neighbors, in grade school, or at summer camp, these friendships have strong foundations in shared memories and experiencing some of life’s first milestones together. Childhood friends know us in a way many others never will, and they provide a sense of familiarity and unwavering support. Distance, adult responsibilities, and busy schedules may mean we don’t see these friends as much or that we aren’t fully up-to-date on the latest happenings in each other’s lives, but it doesn’t lessen that foundational bond. Time apart just makes reconnecting with childhood friends that much more rewarding and nostalgic. 

Shared Hobby Friends: The Friendships With Overlapping Passions 

As adults, one of the most cherished types of friends we can have is one with whom we share a hobby. A friend you make via shared interests not only understands that passion, but also actively participates in it with you. Whether it’s spending time outside, playing sports, making music, or any other variety of interesting hobbies, this friend fuels your enthusiasm and is creating memories right alongside you. When you share a bond over a mutual love for an activity, it becomes a powerful connection that deepens your friendship and creates a foundation for a long lasting relationship. Having a friend who loves what you do, makes the things you enjoy that much more meaningful. 

Ride or Die Friends: The Best Friendships

If you’re lucky, you have a best friend that is there for you through thick and thin. In adulthood, weeks can pass without catching up, but as soon as you do it’s like you never skipped a beat. The ride or die friends are the type that would drop everything to support us, and probably have at some point or another. They know you better than anyone and have the power to bring joy, comfort and a sense of belonging. They’re who you go to when you need advice or when you just need to vent — and they know the difference between the two. 

For many adults, friendships take on different forms and serve different roles. There are many more types of friends than what we can list here, and they’re all essential to forming a well rounded support system. While we might not have the same consistency that we did in the past, it’s now easier than ever to stay in touch. The internet allows us to check in with friends near and far in many different ways. We now have the ability to e-mail friends on different continents or reconnect with ones we haven’t seen in years through social media. Nixplay even offers digital frames that can be updated via shared playlists. So you can gift frames to friends and share photos via the frames that you’ll see everyday. It’s a great way to stay connected and see what everyone is up to, and it might even prompt an extra phone call or text message from time to time. However you choose to keep in touch, we hope you check in with your friends for International Friendship Day.
