Last week our family paired with another producer to host our very first online auction for our show pigs. I mean everything is sold
online why not pigs?!?!?! Well just as if you sell just about anything online
you need a good description, a quality website, and most importantly you need
good pictures. Easy enough right? Hum no, photographing 40-60lb pigs isn’t
exactly the easiest thing I have ever done. It basically consisted of lots of
quality time with the hubs, the floor of a trailer, honey, and being chewed on
by pigs!
Yes you heard that right the floor of our trailer; that is
where I laid for nearly two days straight trying to get the perfect shot. As you
can see by some of these outtakes I took very few perfect shots. The hubs had a
glove laced with honey to entice them to stand still. It was a load of fun.
Now I do love to take pictures but I don’t feel I am real
great at it. This photography practice did not provide a great confidence boost
for me. As you can see the hubs was a real trooper in the situation. I will say
that the perfect shots I did get made it all worthwhile.
I wrote this post today really because I wanted to share
some of these cute pictures of some extra cute pigs! I hope you enjoyed the
experience! I will say for our first timeout with an online auction we were
pretty happy with the end. I know that next year I will be more prepared for
the photography end.
