Quick snaps aside, you know what really ups the quality of our pet portraits? Lighting. Just as with any form of portrait, lighting unlocks possibilities that can be impossible without it. But what lighting system should we use?

Binoculars are a birdwatcher's best friend. They allow you to get close-up views of distant objects without having to actually get close.
