Do you have any idea how hard it is to judge when the shutter is going to open and take the picture? I don't know if every digital camera is this way, but I click the button and its a split second or more before the actual picture is taken. So you get the perfect open mouth, click and by the time the camera reacts, the mouth is shut!

first try:

Second try:

bigbite-2.jpg


Third time...almost got it:

bigbite-3.jpg


And finally! Success!!

Normally I hand feed these calcium-filled tidbits to them to be sure they actually get the pill inside, but I thought it would be pretty hard on my fingers to hold the food, look through the camera and snap a picture without losing a finger!

Yvonne there's a setting on most cameras called "BURST" - push the 'menu' button and scroll around until you find it and enter it. All you need to do then is hold the shutter down and it will take a number of pics at once. Of course you have to be willing to "edit" them later.. it's worth the effort.

Yes. I'm pretty sure that Nerd invited everyone. At least, I hope so, as my picture isn't of a redfoot.
