discussion Wonky photos.

[Ian M]

BING BONG.... Here is a public announcement.
The management is aware that there is still problems with some photos being posted on their side when uploaded to the forum. We are looking into the problem, its probably just a box that needs a tick put in it, problem is what box and where the little beggar is hidden!
For those that have experienced photos being posted upside down, please turn your camera the right way up. :tongue-out2:

As a favour to yourself can you try as much as possible to take pictures in the landscape format. It would seem that the issue is the system cant figure out the portrait ones and puts them in as a landscape.
We thank you for you patience and normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

I photograph all my images in landscape, no wonder they turn out ok.

Cheers,
Richard

Thinking about it - I always use landscape format as well! Mind you, I use a camera, not a phone, so just holding the camera normally give landscape - never tried it with my phone.............

Bit drastic Bob. I noticed that the format on the Misaka photo was a very wide format. Even when I tried to flip it and repost it came out bottom up! So I trimmed it just a tiny bit and that did the trick.
If you can alter the picture format on your phone, then try changing to a 4:3 format and see if that helps.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Ian tried 4:3 8 Mp no difference??

 

[Ian M]

What phone is it? Odd question, are you left handed...

 

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Ian

Samsung, nothing special

Only left handed with a knive! Never had any problems posting photos using my phone in the past

 

[BattleshipBob]

I have now tried every picture size on my phones camera and every one turns the photo 90 degrees. Same every time.

I have had this phone for over 3 yrs and used the camera to post no doubt hundreds of photos on the threads with no problems. Also on Ebay and other sites, again no problems.

Its pointless me posting at the present if this is going to happen every time

Can you take a photo and post it in this thread. Then take another after rotating the camera/phone 90 Degrees, same thing just one in Landscape and another in portrait.

Both shots the neck was pointing to the right!

Are you left handed Bob?

Oops just tried the opposite like a leftie and the image in the frame is upright when viewed back in portrait so still a big question. :confounded:

Cheers,

Can i ask which picture was taken in landscape and which in portrait? Maybe that was not the best subject for a test photo lol. As I can't se what is up or down ....

 

[Tim Marlow]

Assuming Bob means the guitar neck, the top one is portrait and the bottom is landscape Ian. looks like the portrait has turned ninty degrees anti-clockwise and the landscape has turned 180 degree….

 

[BattleshipBob]

One with extra pencil shapener is landscape, not a professional lol


Crazy or what

 

[BattleshipBob]

And not left handed?

 

[adt70hk]

That's bonkers. Out of interest what phone do you have... Apple or Android, if so what make and model..... Just wondering if anyone else has had this sort of problem....
