Okay, now you’re just mocking me!

So I’m at The National Dog Show attempting to photograph this sweet Bernese Mountain Dog. A number of people are gathered around chatting with his handler and he’s resting at her feet and loving the attention. I kid you not, every time I clicked the shutter, he would jump up for a split second, bark, and then lie down in the same position as before. Not, AFTER I clicked the shutter, but AS I clicked the shutter. As a result, most of my shots of this dog look like the image below – a blurry picture of flying fur! It was hilarious! Thank goodness I reviewed the shots before moving on and realized, over and over, that I was photographing just his chest! Finally, after a bunch of tries, he stayed put and I was able to take a nice photo of his adorable expression! What a dog! He had everyone in stitches because of his quick jump up – bark – lie back down again routine!
