Re: 1970 Med Olive Project

If you are using your iPhone or other Apple device as your camera, the following link will explain the issue.

This is one of my pet peeves. Almost all people hold their phone incorrectly when taking pictures. Think of you phone as an HDTV when taking a picture. Would you watch your TV with it siting on it's side? Of course not. That's exactly the picture you get when holding your phone in the 'normal' way - a tall skinny photo. Hold your phone sideways, just like your TV looks and you will never have the problem of sideways photos again. Beside that you get much better photos.

Thank you very much for the link. That explains my problem exactly. I will take pics the right way from now on.

My question is I have 100 plus pictures of my build process in my phone that were taken the "wrong" way. Will that camera + app fix my existing pictures that I took the wrong way? Or is there a way to rotate the existing bad photos once I have downloaded them to my reply screen?

Thanks everyone.

Oh yeah one more photobucket complaint. I tried for an hour to download pictures from my account to my computer and photobucket kept giving me an error that "something occurred and download failed".

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I tried downloading today from PhotoBucket and got the same message.

For some reason I can still use the link for photo and I have the free account. I suspect PhotoBucket will soon find out about it and take it away.

Re: 1970 Med Olive Project

Okay yes, holding your phone with the volume button down makes your photos correct, I take all pics that way now, just formed a habit. I use snapseed if I need to edit or post a pic I took the old way with phone upright. You do not even have to do an edit, just load it to snapseed and post it from there. Not sure if it is available on I-phone or not but I believe it is
