The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was Animals of Husbandry. Photographing baby pigs was a new experience for me. The heat lamp cast a golden glow that was really picked up by the lighter colored pigs. I had to use a flash because it was dark in the hog barn.
These cute little guys are ten days old. 
These guys are a little older, I believe they were about eight weeks old...pigs grow really fast! After being in the hog barn for a while my lens fogged up and I got some obnoxious spots in my photos, I was able to crop out most of them. However there are still some in the upper left hand corner of this photo. I had been outside for quite a long time with my camera, and it was only about 20 degrees outside.
More rainbow pigs! Can anyone say BACON! Or Hog Roast! Thanks to our neighbors for allowing me into their farrowing barn! :)
Fun baby pigs!! Oink Oink! I actually like the golden glow. Makes them look sort of coppery and fancy! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!

Cute baby pigs! I like the golden glow to but I wouldn't want to get close to them. Not a huge fan of pics :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I love piglets!!! :)
ReplyDeletePiglets are so cute great pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo cute when their little, but not a huge fan when they're older :) That is, unless they're on my plate.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute and clean!
ReplyDeleteThese guys look so squeaky clean and adorable. Too bad they have to grow up.
ReplyDeleteWell Connie! Great Job! They are cute at this age, aren't they? See you soon - jo
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of shooting! It's still cold here, also. 20* this morning. I'm sort of afraid it is going to go into a huge heat wave that will melt all the snow fast. Then we will have flooding. Our place won't flood as we are on a Plateau, but the low lying areas will get it.
ReplyDeleteBy this time we should have been able to start planting, not yet...maybe next week.

ReplyDeleteWow, these are great....very cute little animals...nice collection~
ReplyDeleteCute pictures. You captured the color real well.
ReplyDeleteCute baby pigs! I had no idea baby pigs were so well formed at ten days. I always thought they were more like little puppies or kittens or something like that that have to mature some before they are so mobile.
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable!! Why am I suddenly craving BBQ? LOL ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! It makes me feel a little guilty for loving bacon. :)
