I will try with my poor English to describe how i understand this one:

I think they mean "Take a photo with the advantage of being upside down as you take the photo but your subject being in the right position with the environment " ( i hope i help :))

This image was captured while I, the model, was upside down -- then the image was rotated....

How would you ever be able to tell if the camera was upside down or the photo was rotated 180 degrees? I think I'll take a shot of an upside down toy placed on a mirror so that all my bases are covered.

all we need is for the background to be obviously upside down and we would have an entry :)

from the EXIF you can tell the orientation of the camera but it won't be available if you strip off the EXIF.

By the way question is still there: what is this upside right? :):):)

upside up adj. upside-up, upside right, upside-right [< upside + up.] In such a way that the upper and the lower parts are no longer reversed in position.

Does the dictionary defination add any clarity.....I think Not

I think I know:

When you take a shot the concept would be Upside Down (look in Upside Down challenge) and the object that you would want to capture, should be on the right side of the frame.
 08/01/2007 11:29:36 AM · #34
But even w/out stipping the EXIF, you don't have to be upside down, just your camera! How would anyone know the difference?

And I'm not sure I understand the point of the exercise...which I'm sure will be reflected in my score if I don't find a child's toy. lol

But as for the wording - isn't "upside right" the same as rightside up"? And is it a regional convention to phrase it that way? (What region? lol)

I think we're opening up a case to have every single photo DNMC! ROFL

Oh dear I think my "me speakth no english" ansestors have caught up because I really have no clue...

So the picture should be of something upside down... or of something right way up that's been caught upside down..

Yes, but when your photo is asked to be validated, you have to send in your original, which will contain the original orientation. So, if you rotated it in post-processing, you could be disqualified, IMHO.

What the heck is 'upside right'?


Upside is the top of an object, the side that would normally remain up.

Upside down is when the upside of an object is inverted, set on its head yada yada.

WTF is upside right? SHould be more like upside correct, Right as in correct. Right way todo it, correct way todo it. There for making the kids version upside right properly definable while still being bad english!

Besides we always screw up not screw down right?

I have an orientation sensor in my canon and it only has 2 orientations (3 if u ask the camera). 180 90 left and 90 right. If the camera is upside down it thinks its in normal orientation.

Blame it on canon. Besides my olympus didnt have an orientation sensor.

But yes the original would still show true.

Take a photograph from the vantage point of being upside down. Your subject should be upside right.

umm so, according to challeng edescription the camera should be upside down? Making judi's umbrella image while meet title not meeting challenge.

Personally my plan was to have my subject upside down and the camera upside down at the same time.

IT almost sounds like you have to be standing on your head while you take your photograph- and then rotate the image to the right.

I thought it meant you could lean over the edge of a bridge, for example, and take a picture of the underside of the bridge, obviously being upside down when taking the picture, then rotate the picture rightside up (SC cutely calling it upside right) but now I'm so confused I'm digging for children's toys.

I still don't get it :(

It says 'subject' upside-right, not the photograph. Assuming upside-right means 'the right way up', which I am pretty sure it does. It surely then just means take a photo when you (the photographer/camera) are upside down, of something that is not upside down. Hence, no image rotation required.

How to make an interesting photo, rather than turning your camera upside down and taking a photo, is another matter.

Just what we need more ambiguity in the challenge descriptions...
