Gemini2544 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is there a reason why we cant post photos in a Vertical format. It looks so stupid when they display sideways (Horizontally). Photo is an example only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_mario Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hi, I had that trouble too. Portrait photos from iPhone displayed landscape on this site. I always uploaded photos to my pc. If you use windows 7 and just open the folder you have the photos in and display them as medium icons, right click on them and rotate clockwise. Then when you upload to this site its in portrait format. Bugged me for ages too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nath2099 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Effing hell. Is that a telescope? It's huge! Without looking closely at it originally I thought it was a hot water cylinder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Brad Posted June 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yes it's your phone/camera not the site. Common problem with phones. As stated rotate first then upload. Cheers, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Arcade King Posted June 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yeah when I upload photos from my Android phone (HTC M8) it automatically corrects it. As Brad said its not the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsUrFeminitzNYImNietYoma Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yep, this has nothing to do with AA. This has been going on with iPhones for years (since they decided to make the volume button the shutter button) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3431867?start=0&tstart=0 If you're using an iphone, and if you don't want to do all the post rotating/cropping etc on computer, to take upright pics you need to take the photo with the volume buttons below and to the left (home button to the right), basically the complete opposite of what apple used to advertise!! You'll be holding it like you're pressing the volume with your left thumb. This is the cameras 'upright' position. You can either take a photo with your left thumb, or use your right finger or thumb to press the white 'take photo' circle on the screen above the home button. I'm used to taking photos with the volume button with my left thumb now. If I ever use a real camera again, I'll be pressing underneath each time and missing the shot :lol. If you're using another phone/device, you'll have to look up which is the right way. I only know iPhones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nath2099 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Sure! This one is not taken by me but thats the resolution I see. I can't put into words how cool I think that is. What is that, and how far away? Can you share some specs on the telescope? I've been looking into buying one but don't know anything about them.

The image is the middle star people see in the handle of the big dipper, However this is wrong itś really the middle star of the sword on Orionś belt itś called M42. We see it differently in the southern hemisphere. Itś not a star to the naked eye but a Nebula where new stars are born. The Telescope is a BT-302 Newtonian Dobson base, It has a 12¨ primary mirror weighing many Kilograms. Itś a very nice piece of gear. Sad news is I lost hundreds of pictures when I changed my computer from Windows to Linux. I simply forgot to back them up. I will take more soon. If your really interested http://www.iceinspace.com.au/ Itś an Aussie astronomy site, like AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsUrFeminitzNYImNietYoma Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The Telescope is a BT-302 Newtonian Dobson base, Wow was gonna ask price out of curiosity thinking it was going to be $50 grand or something (cause I know sweet fa about telescopes and that looks 1 million times bigger than what you see in a kids bedroom) but it's only $1100. hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angs1957 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Sure! This one is not taken by me but thats the resolution I see. The unknown out there what draws so many people to gazing at these wonderful pictures, having that image available to you at the drop of a hat is unbelievable :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazmanian Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Beautiful looking telescope. If you don't want to use Gimp grab Irfan View & also get the plugins pack. Totally free & a fantastic little tool for rotating & basic edits on pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my solution.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
