Another tip!

This is pretty obvious but definitely have your photo shoot area 100% ready before getting your ham. I find that Buddy moves around a lot after just a couple minuets of trying to do a photo shoot, even though he usually cuddles for long periods of time without moving (well, long for a hamster)

Also don't do photoshoots right after they wake up. While they hold still more, they still have the "sleepy face"

Buddy has crumpled ears when he just wakes up (sorta shown in the photo in my sig) even though he usually has perked ears.

Hey HoppingHammy! :wave: Great article! This is SO SO helpful!

So with the homemade DIY flash diffuser, what do I do if my cameras flash is in the front of it? Like this-http://stephaniecorfee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Camera-FLASH1.jpg

Is an iPhone 5c good for photos? How about video? Pros? Cons?
