It may be the same sun Steve, but I think you have the advantage on us in hogging its use!

You're right about sea-spray, that's a good use for a filter.

Generally, filters are not needed with DSLRs and can detract from the image quality.

The exception is where any filtration has to be in front of the lens, such as polarisers (when needed, not all the time as I see some photographers using them) or maybe ND. Most other filter effects can be done in Photoshop.

You need to upload images that are ready for showing, the site doesn't have photo manipulation options. If you're shooting and uploading straight out of the camera there is the problem. Try the menu item for saving picture orientation to see if that works, but if it won't show the right way up in Windows then it's unlikely to show the right way up on the web I'm afraid.

Works addresses are notorious for parcels being put on one side for people and then only mentioned days/weeks later. I would be asking everyone if they had seen my parcel or left it somewhere for me.

Can I just remind everyone that we they should avoid making any accusations here. This is discussing real people, and if it were me and I'd just gone on a couple of weeks holiday I would be pretty miffed about having aspersions cast in public. It's also possible that someone could have been rushed into hospital, in which case it could be distressing as well.

Before rushing to publish, I would first check with the local sorting office to see if there's a parcel there awaiting collection. It is not unknown for no card to be left. For the same reason check with neighbours. Also check your bins as delivery drivers can decide to pop parcels into them.

I've run an experiment on the issue. I downloaded the original image and saved it. It opened the right way up in Bridge and Photoshop, but stayed horizontal in Windows File Explorer. When resaved in Photoshop to Windows it was then fine and stayed upright and also uploaded correctly to the site (see test upload in the Gallery).

The problem would appear to be the method that was used to save the image. What program was used to process the file?

Film is doing very well, but as a minority interest. It will never reclaim its crown as the medium of choice as the digital revolution has swept that away.

It's an interesting and slightly expensive way to go as things stand now. I wouldn't go back to film, it no longer fits in with what I need.

The JPEG file is just an image file, nothing to do with EXIF. It sounds like the program the image is being prepared in isn't saving the orientation properly. There's no issue with images prepared in Photoshop, so Elements and Lightroom should also be fine.

In the distant past, some posters have taken advantage by changing their posts (or pictures) after a discussion was well under way, in some cases undermining what had been said so much that it made no sense any more.

As a principle, we have a short time where posts can be changed to allow errors to be corrected, such as spelling, but then the post cannot be changed. If we want to upload a second version, then a new post entirely is the way to go.

Hope that helps.

I think you need to upload a new version. It would potentially be a little unfair to keep comments that refer to one image and then change that image?
