Anyone know how to make the picture not wonky?

It seems the forum software for whatever reason realigns all pics to landscape mode, I crop mine top/bottom if necessary to prevent re-orientation.

I just saved your pic on my iPad, turned it cropped it, uploaded to photo bucket etc etc. Think a lot of folk have your problem when using I-phones?

A lot of phones rotate the picture in software before saving so that it always displays "the right way up".

Apple, having actually read the EXIF spec., chose to put meta-data into the image file to tell display software what it should do to get the photo the right way up and so save a few milliseconds photo-processing time so that the camera is ready faster on the phone for the next shot.

Most display software doesn't seem to honour the rotation meta-data, particularly web browsers.

The simple solution, I think, is to always use the iPhone in landscape mode with the button on the right.

Sounds good sound advise. Personally I always carry a small camera with me and use it. Even then I do some cropping on the pad before uploading to photo bucket.

I thought it was home button to the left?

Spotted at Exeter Tesco earlier:

And a Golf which spent at least four hours blocking one end of the alley behind my house today, forcing me to have to reverse in the other end to access my garage and driveway, as well as making things difficult for many others:

Which is really a smarter way to park (Pictured example, not centred)

Another instance of "I don't know / care how big my vehicle is.."

Sat there eating a donut without a care in the world

Eh, that'll do.

I'm actually seeing that more than white-line crossers. How can people not judge the length of their own car?

On the same kind of thinking, why do cars that are 3 feet long that you could actually turn round and touch the window have reversing sensors fitted? It's getting silly...

I have been known to abandon my car like that so it looks completely wrongly parked. Only because the dick in the spot behind has moved off after being in my spot too.
