Geocache Description:

This is a 2 part cache: In
addition to finding the cache, it would be nice if you submitted your Phoon Photo with your online log!

Now I know you folks are going outside, So be as creative as possible.

There are a few caches out there in the world like this one. We would like to thank the the person out there who came up with this great idea, We beleive ElectroQTed is he, 'THANKS'!!!!

Do the Phoon right.

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.
Advice for the photographer
  • Add distance between the camera and phooners. The phooners should not occupy most of the picture unless they are the most interesting detail.
  • Give the phooners feedback. Imitate what they are doing wrong, and then demonstrate how to do to get it right.
  • Include their feet in the photo.
  • Pay attention to clothes and background. If the phooners are wearing dark clothes, do not put them against a dark background or in shadows.
  • If you do not do the pose very well, do not ask your subjects to imitate your pose. Instead, print a good sample and ask your subjects to imitate it.
