"Sorry about last week," Prompto said with a grin that tried to be apologetic, but, if he was perfectly honest, he was a bit too nervous about today's lesson to really get there. He shook his head, waved a dismissive hand. "Fandom stuff," he said. "I know you all mostly know how that is. But, anyway, today, we're going to be squeezing in a few different types of animals, and then, I'm going to talk about these," his hand fell on a small stack of photo albums, "which are for you to take today and fill up with all your best pet pics of the session and next week, we'll be going through them, talking abou them, and just adding to them with more shots! So...okay, maybe not a whole lot to talk about there." He chuckled faintly. "So let's focus instead on these guys."

Which meant that now, Prompto was going to feature some of the animals he'd brought into the staging area today, which included a brief overview on tips and advice for shooting fish, frogs, turtles, reptiles in general, and, much to his clear discomfort despite his efforts to keep it in check, snakes specifically.

Look, if he told himself that he was at least bigger than these snakes, it made it a little bit better? But you know, some experiences were just a lot harder to shake off than others! But pet snakes deserved love, too, even if most snake-like creatures Prompto had encountered in his life either tried to eat him....or adopt him.

Don't ask.

Just take pictures! Hooray!

If Prompto seemed a little bit extra excited this week than normal, then it definitely had a lot to do with the fact that he was preeeeetty sure at least one of the students were really going to like what they were focusing on today!

"Hey, guys!" he greeted everyone, and, considering where he was meeting them all in the shelter, there was no point in delaying what they'd probably already guessed was the topic for this week. "Today, we're going to learn about shooting birds!"

His eyes widened slightly, as he heard what he said. "With cameras! Shooting pictures of birds, not..." He shook his head, waved his hand, all to brush that past them as quickly as possible. "Never mind. We're focusing on bird photography today. Now, clearly, here in Furnado, we're going to be working with domesticated birds rather than birds in the wild, but I'd still like to go over some general guidelines and tips for if you do want to take your camera to the skies for some wild bird photography....birdography, if you will!....as well as how to make the most out of getting great images of domesticated birds, as well.

"But before we get too far into that, I do also want to cover bird handling, too, especially if you guys want to work together to get some more interesting shots of these guys beyond the cage. Also, I've had the vet corral all the cats and dogs for the class period today, so there's no worrying about letting them out of the cage to fly around a bit if you want to explore some shots that way, too. But let's not waste any more time with preamble, let's get to the lesson so that you guys can get to the picture-taking!"

"Last week," Prompto said, this time sitting on the counter at the shelter as he grinned a little at the students as they came in, "we did a little puppy photography, so it just stands to reason that, this week, we're moving onto the cats. Now, cats are interesting as photography subject, because they're notoriously less inclined to training than dogs are, and, in fact, seem to always have a habit of doing the exact opposite of what they want you to. There's a reason most of the pictures of my own cat are taken when she's sleeping or just tired. Because any other time, it seems, whenever I try to get a shot of her doing something really cute or engaging, she manages to move her head or shift or turn away at just the moment I snap the pic!" He chuckled a little, fondly and shaking his head. "Very different kinds of models, these guys.

"But that doesn't mean it all has to be a crapshoot, either!" he continued, grinning faintly at what he thought was a pretty subtle and clever pun there, as he hop down from the counter. "Today, we're going to talk a little about how to get a feline to fee-line a little more picture perfect!"

With lots and lots of examples as he goes through the tips, as well!

"Really, though, what it boils down to is a lot of patience, a lot of being willing to hit some awkward positions, and a lot of love. Let's break it down a little, and then you guy'll have a chance to try and snag your own cat photos that'll have all the social media platforms going nuts for these adorable little furballs!"
