Evening UER. Every state has its small backwater towns. The collection of shots below is from one such town in Iowa. Its not much but I still found it interesting. Enjoy.

P.S. Id appreciate any any advice on how to stop the photos from flipping. Thanks

haha! That toilet seat is ridiculous... it's giving me some home decor ideas.

The legs of that deck do not fill me with confidence.

Your photos are being rotated due to the EXIF metadata added to the photos by whatever device you shot them with. EXIF data includes a lot of information about the photo itself, such as the date and time the photo was shot, lens and camera information, and as you've discovered, photo orientation information.

Phone cameras are notorious for having inaccurate rotation info - if you rotate the phone to take a landscape, but the phone cameras thinks the photos being taken is a portrait, it will save the image file with EXIF data that tells image viewers to show the photo in a portrait orientation despite the image's correct orientation being in landscape. And vice versa.

Some of a photo's EXIF data can be viewed along the bottom of the Windows Explorer file browser (I presume Mac OS and the various Linux DEs can do this as well) and it will let you modify or delete it there too. Viewing the image file properties should show even more.

Other utilities such as exiftool can be used to completely obliterate all of the EXIF data on an image, including the rotational info, which will let you adjust it simply by rotating the photo in your preferred image editor. It can also be used to delete the GPS coordinates that some phones will add to the images as well, which can be used to find locations that a photographer otherwise intended to keep secret.

EDIT: Alternatively, your file browser and photography device are showing your images correctly because of the EXIF rotation data, but that data is not being interpreted by our web browsers or the image host and thus it displays here with the actual rotation of the image. Meaning you'll need to remove the EXIF data and correct the image's rotation.

Thanks a lot man!

Yea it did this to me last time I posted pictures.

I found simply opening the pic and saving it within windows photos or paint. Then would post in the correct orientation. Kinda annoying. I could not work out why it was one picture but not another.


I loved the pictures BTW. I like it when nature starts to win.
