The Biggest Secret Canon Doesnt Want You To Know About

[360°]

I have discovered something thats going to change photography from now on until the end of time.

it produces sharper images, better colors, and better bokeh.

It can be done even with a point and shoot.


.....



.....



just flip the camera upside down and take all of your photos upside down..... then just flip them later in post.

trust me it works

This was a joke, dont get your panties in a bunch

[magwai]

What if I want to get my panties in a bunch?

:)

[k.CHU]

I actually did try this. And it DOES work.

[-MasterChief-]

damnit! now my wifes panties are all in a bunch! :p

[stevemacko]

If this works, shouldn't your username be 180degrees... not 360? ;-)

All I can say is WOW!!!! ...and I didn't believe you about that bridge in Arizona you wanted to sell me. Too bad I missed it. :cry:

[sue.t]

Can I just stand on my head and hold the camera upright?

Although, my panties might bunch in that position ...

[360°]

omg it just worked again! i cant believe it

[PicSniper]

I've been flipping my camera upside-down for years. All of my long exposure shots are taken this way because it silences mirror slap, which eliminates the need to use MLU.

[chrisandaivi]

DUDE!!! this is soooo last year!!! didn't you get the Memo?

[joeman]

is this why my photos from the southern hemisphere look so good?

[L.Morey]

WTF are you peole babbling about

[MrWho]

Oh man! My pictures got so sharp I don't think I'll ever need to upgrade :shock:

[oldvultureface]

April Fools' Day was last month. And my panties are neatly folded in my man purse.

No need to hold the camera upside down to take shots.

Take them normally, then in in post do the following 8 steps ...

#1 Image-->Rotate-->90 Degrees Left
#2 Image-->Rotate-->90 Degrees Left
#3 Image-->Rotate-->90 Degrees Left
#4 Image-->Rotate-->90 Degrees Left
#5 Image-->Rotate-->90 Degrees Right
#6 Image-->Rotate-->90 Degrees Right
#7 Image-->Rotate-->90 Degrees Right
#8 Image-->Rotate-->90 Degrees Right

This is a carry over from the days of film when you would agitate the tank to insure even fluid distribution and to get rid of any air bubbles on the film surface. Only in this case you are agitating the pixels causing them to realign into a sharper image.

Be careful, the resultant images will be so sharp you might cut yourself handling the prints!


:D

:lol:

You forgot to first rap it once against a hard surface.

[dave sparks]

You forgot to first rap it once against a hard surface.

That's only for the fixer stage now. Keeps the pixels aligned and dislodges any strangetrons.

Dave....

[stsva]

This is why I keep coming back to POTN - the quality of info. here is second to none! Great tips - thanks to all.

[AWGD8]

Ok guys, I just sold all my DLSR and lenses. I just bought a Kodak point and shoot today.
I even bought a CS4 and Lightroom for the PP. Now WTF is goin on! all my shots are high keys aka washout! :-)

[Canonswhitelensesrule]

Would it work just the same if you get your subjects (if applicable) to stand upside down, and you just shoot them in regular fashion?

[scorpio_e]

I dunno... I tried and all I see are sprocket holes...

that only works in 0 gravity.... so only in space

[umpachomp]

I noticed when I press the "shutter button" I take absolute stunning pictures. Also when I take pictures of animals then print them out, the animals come to life and pop out of the print. Amazing!!!!

Finally found the looney bin on porn have fun

And get digital negatives.

It's true... I called up a Canon Technician and he told me that it was real. He was able to cite the reason that the cameras were made of such precision and computers so sensitive that the original engineers forgot to account for Japan being on the other side of the world so if you hold the camera upside down then it will process correctly! Unfortunately firmware updates can't correct for this problem.

This top secret ultra sensitive information was just release 46 days ago.

WHOA! Thats not just me? :D
and all this sounds like a load of sh@t to me. :p

[Anders Östberg]

No it's true, Canon cameras do have that hard to define 3D look to the pictures, the animals "pop right out of the print"...

And it will cure any autofocusing woes your camera might have. Who needs to send it in for the autofocus fix when you can simply turn it upside down and walla - instant cure!

[scatdog]

I'm glad to hear this, I was begining to believe that the biggest secret was that Canon would come out with an upgraded version within 1 week of whatever I purchase!

[360°]

i think im going to try and shoot a whole wedding upside down

[harcosparky]

That will work better if, instead of holding the camera upside down you hold the camera in the normal orientation and stand on your head ! :D :lol:

Been there .. done that! :lol:

[neilwood32]

OMG that is so cool - only problem is that the lakes I was shooting are now emptying and im getting soaked- waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.







:p

[Raizer]

For weddings your best to spin the camera around and look into the lens

[drunkenmigu]

Would it work if i flipped my memory card reader upside while its reading?

[mommak]

That was all so funny. I am new here and new to photography. I have only ever used a point and shoot, but want to upgrade and learn the ropes of photography. I'm glad my time spent on here will also be entertaining.

upgrade? why would you upgrade? i just revealed the biggest secret... upgrading would just be a waste of money

[SuperHuman21]

And here I thought I needed a camera with MLU =/ I could've saved a lot of money by switching my technique to Upside-Down!

[monk3y]

what a secret!! I have been using this for quite sometime... haha

[jdizzle]

Hmmm... I tried shooting upside down and all I got was a wedgy! :p;)

[neilwood32]

Too much informaion Julian! :rolleyes:

[thomas43062]

So the secret is holding the camera upside down? Astounding. It's just like rebooting the Etch-a-Sketch!

[Mastamarek]

Thats why you dont post on forums when you re drunk ^^

[jdizzle]

Too much informaion Julian! :rolleyes:
LOL! :lol:

[Stealthy Ninja]

Personally I just put my camera on the end of a cordless screwdriver and continually spin it.
