I wondered what you were on about originally....but just now i see a couple of the pictures are upside down (they werent earlier on).
I wonder if this is something to do with the EXIF orientation tags on those specific images, and if those images were taken with the portable device turned 'upside down' when compared to the others?
I see that Snorvey is not using IMGUR to host his images, which usefully strips out all EXIF information from their hosted images (good from a security point of view...), but I suspect that the host Snorvey is using might not, and I wonder if it might be useful for someone who
is seeing an upside-down image to specifically post the URL for one of those images so that Snorvey can check this?
Taking two of the pics from that latest post,
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50231466518_7b7747026b_o.jpg shows upside down.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50231963096_495e438a79_o.jpg shows the right way up.
When I click through to those URLs (which I find through "view source"), the pics appear much bigger, and the right way up!
This is chrome on a macbook pro, which seems pretty mainstream to me!
When we look at the underlying EXIF data on the above two photos, and check the '
Orientation' flag using
IrfanView Portable (
https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/irfanview_portable) via the
Image....Information....Exif Info option, we can see that the two photos have got different '
Orientation' settings -
I suspect that any photos showing up here as upside down on people's various systems will have their EXIF '
Orientation' field set to '
Bottom Right'..
This issue isn't seen when IMGUR is used to host images posted on this board, as IMGUR strips the EXIF data from any uploaded images, so it seems that the issue is related to the fact that
flickr will unfortunately
maintain these EXIF '
Orientation' tags, and it's that process that's causing some issues with some people's configurations. I see the same issues with these latest photos on my Android tablet, via Firefox, but they view fine on my Windows 10 machine..
Whilst I hope the above is useful, it's really missing the
main reason that I wanted to post, however, which was to say what fantastic photos they are Snorvey, and what a brilliant start to the day above those clouds...
Cheers,
