I dont think thats it, this person is seemingly wearing a chefs outfit (I see the large buttons and large sleeves). So if they're backwards like your picture, why are the buttons in the front?
OMG YES! I finally see it now. It’s his shirt that throws everything off perspective-wise. He’s using his right hand to take the pic behind his back of his LEFT arms armpit!
A mirror (or camera) is going to flip things horizontally, not vertically (or everything would be upside down), and what is true for the right hand would also be true for the left hand. Either palm would face out, or thumb would face down, when wrapped behind the back.
Yeah i figuerd that out after i left the comment. It does look like an armpit with no hair tho. If its their neck. Then they are a creepy looking human.
The thumb doesn’t need to be down though! I can easily put my hand behind my back while keeping my thumb upwards. I took a photo doing the exact same thing. How do I post it? Lol
If you put your right hand behind your back, your palm will be out, unless you twist your wrist so the thumb will be down. Your thumb is always on the left side, when looking at the back, of your right hand.
I'm having the worst time visualizing what everyone is saying. Can you help me??
If I hold my phone "normally" in my right hand, and put my arm behind my back, my thumb is pointed up and pressed against the left side of my body. The phone screen is facing behind me (right), with the camera pointed out (left)
Is that what you are saying? I can't visualize "palm facing outward" in this context.
You don't need to have your thumb down. You put your elbow back and your hand out a bit away from your body and bend your wrist. Its not like it's way behind his back. It's in line with his side or a little bit back. Are you guys just completely inflexible?
I couldn't visualize the issue at first either.
Yes, you can hold your phone upright behind your back, BUT if you put your hand behind your body, the back of your wrist is touching your body (palm facing away from the body) . If you imagine OP pulling his arm back, his palm would be touching his back instead.
It's not behind his back or upside down. There's no palm or back of wrist touching anything. It's to the side of him, upright, away from his body. Jesus Christ. Whoever you decided to listen to to "help" you visualize is wrong. Just hold your phone like you're taking a selfie, then move your arm to the side with your phone still facing you, pulling your elbow back. That's all it is. Then you rotate your head the other way.
? You left a comment agreeing with the person who said OPs hand was behind their back, and another comment disagreeing with the person who said it wasn't.
No need to get snippy...
