19 May 08 - Phooning is happening all over the world although the concept is not very well known.

To phoon or not to phoon. Remember one thing. The object is for the phoon to be part of the picture, not the essence of the picture.

Note: The icon is a picture of an exit sign located within the Louvre in Paris; picture taken by flickr member 'mamahoot~'

About PHOON ME

This group is for posting pictures of interesting places where a good phoon can be done.

Rules for the Phoon pose

Stand sideways to the camera. (A Phoon is always viewed from the side.)
Bend your arms at the elbows. (Look like an athletic runner, not a ballerina.)
Lift your rear elbow (not your hand) so that it is easy to see behind your back.
Lean forward at the waist. This will help you look more energetic and will help you lift your rear ankle.
When possible, do not look at the camera and do not smile.
Either arm can be the rear arm. Either leg can be the rear leg.

Show something interesting.
Even though the Phoon pose is the uniting, artistic element of the picture, it is not what makes the pictures interesting.

Not interesting:

an ordinary Phoon in an ordinary location
a Phoon that occupies too much of the photo and hides the interesting background detail
