AHAHAHAHA
I take a lot of pictures. I take lots of terrible pictures and then delete them. Sometimes my constant photo taking leads to great shots. Taking digital pictures is great that way. I probably need to get rid of even more pictures but my girls are so beautiful and my webhost space so large that I keep a lot more than I probably should.
This one would normally get tossed, except it's hilarious. My Nikon D40 has a interesting feature where it flashes twice. It's called i-TTL. The first flash is a test exposure to make sure the flash isn't too strong or too weak when it takes the actual shot. When taking photos indoors, I will set the iso to 800 or so and use shutter priority mode so the ambient light has a chance to fill in a bit. I'll usually flatten the colors since our yellow/burnt yellow walls look nuts when saturated. I can't bounce flash yet since I need an external flash first.
The only reason I mention all this geek speak is to say that at 1/40 shutter speed, the time between the evaluative exposure and the actual picture is long enough that when taken close, phoebe will reflexively blink. This resulted in 3 or 4 photos in a row where she was just starting to blink. Here's the only one that was in focus. This photo is so close that you can see the shadow from the lens heh.
