Photography fails

[Sue and Smartie]

I try to get good pics of my piggies, but so many of them are failures.
Kanga hides away when she hears the camera's switch-on beep. Fifi is rarely still so she ends up as a blur of fur.
The only time I have a sporting chance of catching them on camera is if I bribe them with food and even then it's hit & miss.
Please tell me I'm not the only one!

I thought I would get some good pics today as I had to give them both a bottom wash, in the bath, but even then Fifi was too active for my camera Got a nice one of them after, in their towels, though.

I've overused the bribing with snacks technique now spud hears the camera sound and runs towards my hands which means I have a lot of photos like this

When my piggies sense that I reach for the phone or camera, they stop looking cute or sleeping adoringly. They only chance I get is with the beep of the phone off and not coming too close.
Or at the real photo sessions. They are mostly well behaved during those, but it's a nightmare if I want to take snapshots while they are being cute.

Mine seem to have a 6th sense when it comes to approach of a camera.
They will go from looking cute to being awkward in no time at all.
I delete about half the photos I take

Most of the photos I take these days are just a black or grey and pink blur. I'd try bribery but I suspect it wouldn't work, skinnies do not sit still, lol.

I must have taken at least two hundred photos of my piggies in the few months I’ve had them. They never sit still! Whenever they hear the camera they either hide or turn their backs on me. My pfp is one of the few good pics of them

I can relate too! Just this morning I was trying to take a cute pic of my sleeping Lily.
Instead she woke up and gave me the death stare.
