Helping you choose
your hidden photo

Most photos work nicely when put into a Stanhope.
But some work better than others.

Here are four tips on how to choose a photo
that works well.

For best results

• Avoid covering the rounded end of the Stanhope.


• Hold your phone 30–60cm from the ceiling. The projected image can be enlarged by moving your phone further away, or made smaller by moving closer. Detail will appear sharper in a smaller image.

 

• You can also project your image onto a wall, although it can be trickier to hold the Stanhope in place.

To project the hidden image

1. In a darkened room, turn on your phone's torch.


2. Holding the phone flat in your palm, shine the torch beam upwards at the ceiling.


3. Place the flat end of your Stanhope over the torch light, covering it completely (the image will be reversed).

For best results

  1. The subject of the photo should be (roughly) near the centre.
     

  2. The subject of the photo should be fairly close to the camera.

  3. The photo should have good, consistent lighting.
     

  4. The photo should be relatively sharp (meaning not too pixelated or blurry).
