Wondering Wednesday






So how many takes does it take to take a good take?





#1 - oops, no squinty eyes, Phantom.





#2 - what camera, where is it?

And Thunder, put your tongue inside your mouth.




#3 - TD, you are not listening.

And Ciara, don't be a copycat, or is that copywoo?

After so many comments about this tongue shot from Thunder and Ciara, we are going to enter this in Anna's Spectacular Tongue-tacular Contest.



#4 - are we done yet?




# 87,463,528,576 - best we can do for you today, Momster.




Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

  13. Those are all great photo's - my Mom is sneaky though - she holds a treat on the camera and KNOWS I will focus on it (don't tell anyone about that trick though or all the mom's will be doing it !)

    ReplyDelete
  14. hahaha! It's always the hardest to get a purfect group shot! I feel you. But they all still look cute :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. I like the tongue shot the best!!! Your dogs are so photogenic.

    ReplyDelete
  16. So, do you think it's the photographer's skills that need to be honed????!!!!!

  21. This is such a funny post. Super way to brighten my rainy day!!
    THANKS.

    Now I am really happy to be an Only Dawg.

  22. I really wish I could play with Photo Shop and just cut and paste. It takes me forever to get a good shot (still hasn't happened!) but I am better with the digital than I ever was with a film camera, so......

    And remember, I am only working with two of them. However, they ARE terriers, so I should get some grace points, huh?

  39. I was thinking: "How many dogs does it take to take a good picture?" and my answer would be YOUR THREE!!!

    Is that really Phantom yawning or did you doctor up the photo? It doesn't look quite real...

    Can you do container gardening for the Seed Exchange? Maybe if you put them in a hanging pot, your three rascals can't get to them?

    Have a great day!
    (It's raining today!)

    Love you guys,
    Gizzy and his mommy!

  40. BOL! That's funny! We're glad it's just not us that doesn't cooperate with the flashy beast!

  47. Thunder looks like he's falling asleep sitting up. I usually don't have to worry about eyes, they're covered by hair.

    ReplyDelete
  48. We completely understand! But, I love seeing the out-takes as well as the best one. It shows us the OP Pack spirit!

    They are so beautiful. I know that I say it quite often but I'm always wowed by your Sibes.

    ReplyDelete
  49. It's hard enough getting a good foto of just one. Just like kids....When the bipeds were small, every foto had at least one tongue out. And da Mom has never taken a foto of my entire pack togedder. No way...never gonna happen!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Nice yawn, Phantom. I do this, too!

    Your pal, Pip

    ReplyDelete
  51. They all look good :)
    It's amazing that you can get all 3 to sit together and be still at all.
    Darn near impossible in this house..BOL

  54. Every picture tells a story, don't it? And all are great! What patient furbabies you all are...treats after, we hope?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Look at it this way, at least you all will sit together for a pic. That will NEVER happen with all of us!

    Holly

    ReplyDelete
  56. Isn't that how it always goes?? Or how about when they are in the perfect pose but by the time you grab the camera they have moved? I can't tell you how many shots I missed not thinking I have enough time to get camera, then as soon as I move, they are out of there!!

    Great shots by the way. Love the tongue and Phantom yawning.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Our Mom can surely sympathize with this - she can never get us all looking the same way at the same time.

    And yes, you should enter that photo in my contest!

  63. OH! that tongue shot! It's definitely a good one!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Mine are very much the same way with pictures. I can't ever seem to get the two chi's together but even so, the ones of them individually are blurry or they're looking away or doing something odd or whatever. It's always something! bol

    ReplyDelete
  65. Stormy over at the A04 must be so proud of yet another team of dogs following her photography instructions.

    ReplyDelete
  66. BAH!! I don't think the interwebs could hold all those pics...I truly know the feeling!

    ReplyDelete
  67. HOW CUTE! That's such a good idea for a post (I'm gonna have to copy this). I usually delete all the one w/ tongue out or other embarrassing photos. But you put those to good use!

    ReplyDelete
  68. well, i totally think it's important to keep our hoomans workin' hard. 87,463,528,576 pics sounds about right. heehee.
