Poll: Turning the camera

Sunday, August 13, 2006

Which way do you turn your camera when taking a portrait shot?
Clockwise
Anti-clockwise
Depends
I don't know!

Let’s say you have a camera and you need to turn it to take a portrait shot. Which way do you turn the camera?

I turn the camera clockwise. My mom turns it anti-clockwise. I was downloading some recent photos we took from the digital camera when I noticed this. smile It helped determine who took which picture!

Actually oddly enough, I’ve noticed that sometimes i turn it counter-clockwise. I guess it depends on which camera I’m using and what the situation is. But majority of the time, I’ll be turning clockwise.

Clockwise. I tuck my right elbow into my body and create a little arm tripod. Plus, this way the camera (and I’m talking full SLR) is resting in your hand as opposed to hanging from your fingers, making it less likely that you’ll drop it. Plus, it’s less strain on your arm and shoulder.

Inquiry: what do you use to make these polls? EE plugin? Custom code? It’s nice. I’m interested.

Nicholas, I’m using the EE Poll Module. The latest version should be 1.7, which is here.

Anti-clockwise, always. I use SLR cameras – the lens’s cupped securely in my left hand, which also holds most of the weight. All my right hand has to do is hold still and click.
