Hope your vehicle does not arrive until we have exhausted your photo library. One of those lucky tongue shots again.

The luck is in pressing the shutter at the right moment!

And then the out of focus shots come in.

I agree with Armata, its all about skill and antisipating when he will flick his tongue again. :twisted: :twisted:

Ahhh, the wonders of technology. Someone on this very forum once told me way back then, you knew you just lost a great chance at a shot when the puffie backs off just as you accidentally bump it in the nose with the camera lens... Then we were introduced to the wonders of zoom.
