My todger would be no good in landscape, it would chop the end off it. Ouch.  ;D

Landscape or portrait - wouldn't you need a 10X zoom?   :P
You wouldn't like it for a wart over your eye  :P

Why do some car advertisers manage to get the interior shots upside down? :-\
It isn't really possible to take a picture upside down with a modern smart-phone as they all have acceleration sensors that tell the phone which way up they are - that information is then saved in the jpeg file.

The problem comes if you try to view a picture using software that isn't standards compliant and incapable of reading a jpeg file correctly (Microsoft seems to be the worst in this regard)
Must admit Andy that my set-up is a bit antiquated and also i have Microsoft so perhaps it,s my set-up. But, all the other pics are correct way up, so :-\
What probably happens is that the vendor opens the photo in windows picture viewer (or whatever they call it at the moment), sees the picture is upside down so rotates it and saves it. Microsoft doesn't update the rotation tag in the jpeg file so you now have a picture that claims to be upside down even though it is the right way up.

Posting upside down is entirely user error as they can be rotated in edit both on the phone/camera and in the host ::)

You're all underestimating the stupidity of Mr Public now.

Zirk, At last, someone who shares my point of view! I've been ranting about this for years now. Does my nut in.

People are just thick generally. There's no hope.
