Photo Hunt: Skinny

January 12th, 2008 by Fond of Snape

Here are the rules for Photohunt!

When I saw the word was skinny, I looked around my office and asked myself…what can I shoot that’s skinny? Then my eyes fell on a pile of change. Dimes! Dimes are skinny! So I shot them this way, and that way, and the other…and couldn’t make up my mind which I liked best! So here you go!

   Your photos reminded me of this site: http://www.fincher.org/CoinStacking/
   Have you seen it?

   Great idea. And you captured it so well.

   Very good. I still need some lessons on mega closeups! (Hint hint!)

   Now that’s cool! Great photos…I like all three!

   You know, I don’t think I would have thought of dimes for skinny but you are absolutely right! And I love how you posed them in all the shots.

   Skinny isnt really part of my vocabulary!

   damn girl, those are cool shots….always been partial to dimes…nickels not so much

    Very creative…I couldn’t think of a thing and then I had a few drinks and, well, the rest is history.

    I’ve awarded you with the “You Make My Day” award on my blog because…..you do!

    Wonderful shots, Janet! Wow. I love the lighting here – and amazing that it’s just dimes! Well done!

    When I was akid I always wondered why nickels and pennies were so big, and dimes so small.
    You take a good close-up – that’s something I am working on with mixed results.
    Have a fabulous weekend

    Great idea for skinny! They’re all good but I think my favourite is the left one where they look like they’re just about to topple over.

    Very good idea ! I also had difficulties to find something “skinny” I have no anorexic people or animals around me, lol !

    Pretty skinny things. What kind of camera do you have.

19. Lisa Says:

    Something about the one one the far right really catches my eye. Great idea, Janet.

    [...] Canon. So, just so you know, it was not an EASY decision by any means. Natalie has the one too, and Janet, really knows how to use her Canon. Yet, Maggie has a Nikon, Painted Maypole just bought hubby a Nikon, Carrie has one [...]
