I can see lots of two fingers entries! 

[kerbside]

2 or 1 will do so long as they are connected to a hand

[DigiDiva]

OOOoooo, I have a few ideas up my sleeve (or in my glove!)

[spikeyjen]

I have no ideas at all, but I'll take the camera down to our local store and find a weathered farmer - not sure how he will feel with a 'excuse me but can I photograph your hands!!!'

[kerbside]

Go for it Jen, if you don't ask you don't get 

[Reinardina]

If you explain you are doing a 'project,' most people are happy to oblige.

Have to be very quick as the fist comes towards you!!!!

Well I had an idea but now no time to do it and post it. The rest of the day will be taken up chasing details about an accident my daughter had in my car last night . One of those things but at least no-one was hurt. BMW hit her seemingly cutting across in front of her on a roundabout but blamed her saying she was in the wrong lane. My daughter was in the left lane going around the roundabout to take the turning straight ahead of her entry point. the 3rd exit but straight on and thus bang in line with Highway code. Seems if someone else decides you are in the wrong lane they can smash you up!

Anyway with that to deal with then off to Cornwall tomorrow with limited , if any wifi next week looks like I`ll sit this one out. I`ve a neat idea to sell if anyone is interested

Glad nobody was hurt. 

A lot of drivers haven't got a clue about the highway code and, most of them learned their driving overseas. Most private hire drivers think they are allowed to go through lights that are red, like emergency vehicles, or that appears to be the case in Birmingham.

Picking ones nose is very rude and shouldn't be photographed and displayed.

Damn you guessed it oldboy. No it was a multi exposure merger of hands in shapes making a final picture of an owl - go figure

Too much effort and editing! I'd go for the nose picking, if I can spot it happening somewhere. Most of my shots are taken 'on the hoof' and require minimal editing. I've almost lost the knack of working with layers.
Maybe I should try it again soon?

[kerbside]

Well I have a couple of shots but nothing too great, maybe as it is raining today I will get some shots done indoors, Jan has just found a pair of handcuffs ?, don't ask.
Just to recap the subject is HANDS (plural) ONLY, HUMAN ONES PLEASE, hope that there is some processing going on as this thread is quite quiet.

[DigiDiva]

Been struggling for time & inspiration so far this week. Have a little plan for later so fingers crossed it will come off.

Handcuffs, just happen to be lying around in your house huh Jeff? lol

[Hinfrance]

Did a bit of mucking about with the only hands available to me - mine.

I'll post my other attempt in a little bit of a short while, but for now, despite its embarrassing lack of originality is my entry. I had fun doing it . .

Left Handies, or Show of Hands, or a Fistful of Fingers:



Now withdrawn, as it only one hand.
