| I'm a little slow this week, I've been working a lot of overtime, so you will have to humour me. For the Granular challenge would things such as grains of rice, pebbles, toast crumbs =) count as granular? I'm just not getting if it could be a granular texture, or if it has to be things like sand, sugar, etc... Not to start a pre-challenge debate - but the definition of granular is escaping me. |

yup...
grain (wheat, rice, oats, etc.) sand (dust, dirt, tiny pebbles that float on water), spices, powders, granular crystals (salt, sugar, excepting methyl-aphetamine as that violates the DPC entry policies)) |

lol I know grain is granular, but is it granular in the sense of this challenge.
I'm making no sense. Would you believe I just tried to drink my pepsi out of a bottle with the lid on? When nothing came out I threw it in the recycle bin beside me because I thought it was empty. It's a brand new bottle I haven't even opened it yet.
At this rate I won't even be awake to take pictures by end of day.

Lol, I once poked a hole in the lid of my coke bottle with a pen because I got tired of taking the cap off. Works well. :)

Here's a grainy Triangle out take. Wonder how grainy shots of non-granular subjects will fare?
Not well I think! |

The topic:
Take a photograph in which your subject is granular, such as powder, sand, salt or dust.
The subject of this photo is a very nice young female body and it is distinctly NOT granular...
