I don't get it? How come when you see photo's of characters on television shows, the sat looks back wars? Just look?

I mean in this photo of cliff and Clear sitting down on the couch, the stair was is facing the other direction with the chair in the back round in the direction of the kitchen it on the other side of the room too.

Here

And again,this this pick with Cliff and Theo talking, the doorway and the stair case are on opposite side of the room.

Look

And in this one with Luis, Maria and Gaby From Sesame Street, it's clear that Oscar trash can and the windows to the apartments are on opposite sides. Plus, the little fence show brick fence should be right where their standing.

Again

I've seen photos where things are turned the right way and I'm seen more television show where things are turned the wrong way. But why is this?:confused:

It all depends on who develops them film and how he/she develops them.

Okay. I would think it would have to do something with the Lens of the camra.

It's how you put the film into the enlarger when you are making your print that can make a picture come out backwards; it has nothing to do with the camera or how film is developed. I've flopped photos in a darkroom before by accident. :embarrassed:

But in this digital age, I suspect that's not the issue at all, since photos can be mirror-imaged so easily on the computer.

I think the reason you find these things on the web MIGHT be so people can (try to) avoid copyright complications.

Yeah flopping's down quite a lot, even on purpose in movies. Though when you see them published in still photographs, they're probably often the "left overs." Though Mrs. Pepper's theory about copyright makes sense.

Thank you so much for the explanations guys. I was wondering it they turned the whole set around for some reason, heh.:embarrassed:

But look at these picture here. Look carefully where Osacrs trash can is located in both the firs and second picture.

the pictures
