Photographing buttons

[Chickiechick]

Well it seems like buttons are 'popcorn on speed'

when you try to photograph them.
Any suggestions on how to get decent photos without putting the little spazzies in a vise grip ?

I'd prefer to get some nice standing side and or front views if possable.

I believe it was Bettacreek that said she holds them and lets them 'run' until they wear themselves down, then lets go and they stay there. She must hold them for a while, cause mine never seem to wear down! Good luck!

I had a similar problem trying to photograph my bobwhites right out of the incubator--once I put the chick back in with them that they thought was "mom" I got them to hold still for a second

Intresting idea.
I gave it a try but apparently you sent me some of the 'non wear out' buttons from your stock
