Both of my hands... after I painted. Used a timed shutter since no one was here to push the button or model with the paintbrush.
Could not see the viewfinder or the focus until I went back to the camera after the shots.
I have a pretty manicure on the other side that I didn't want to mess up... hence the oddness which I find kinda fun. :D
Plus, my palm doesn't look as incredibly old as the top of my hand. *sigh*
I had the idea of painting the bones, since all of mine are currently covered with a large layer of fat, a couple of muscles, and some skin.
So, I googled the layout and painted it onto my hand... thinking that I'd figure out what to do after that.
Well, I could have at LEAST set up the tripod and camera before I painted, right?!
*sigh*
*sigh again*
Anyway, I had painted the bones, set up the camera and tripod (*sigh yet one more time*), and then... nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing came to me.
Darnsies.
I stuck my bony ("boney"??) hand underneath my camera so many times... in so many ways... and nothing.
Nothing was anything even a tiny bit interesting.
Then, I thought how creepy, cool, and weird it would be with jewelry on... backwards.
So... shot that a billion times.
Still... nothing.
So I added the paintbrush and my other hand.
I like it okay.
I wish I'd been spilling pills, or candy, or something into my bony hand... but here we are, and I'm entered.
Oh wait! I just (HOURS later) rotated it to vertical instead of horizontal as I shot it. I love it now!
Yay!
I can't wait to see what you came up with for a "Bones" challenge! Should be fun!
P.S. All of you people who know stuff about how the body looks under skin... don't you EVEN start with me. Ha!
I stipulate that I know nothing about it. I see now that the long bones should have been shorter and the next bones on the fingers should have been longer. Darnsies.
Nice photo, congrats on the yellow. And pretty cool back story behind the photo. I always love reading the back stories and details of someone's photo.
Congratulations on 3rd, Lydia! Very creative and well done.
ps: That looks nothing like a hand with the skin peeled away. I'll show you pics if you want...
