Project Ruffgeezer's Volvo V70 blunder bus. .. Phoenix Shites?

[ruffgeezer]

Now this isn't your normal collection thread.

 

It started off like this...

 

[Guest Breadvan72]

Picture brokken, hope car not also thus.

[ruffgeezer]

Right well I rotated that on my phone and re uploaded it but it's still wonky.

 

It's a rented Luton van full of crap furniture.

[overrun]

The sun rises early in your part of the country!

[ruffgeezer]

Yup... Time to get going again.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Whut?  No greasy food photographage? 

 

Anyway, did you sleep in the van?

[Guest Breadvan72]

Right well I rotated that on my phone and re uploaded it but it's still wonky.

 

 

 

I find that I have to save the pic onto my laptop, edit it on there, and then post it here.  Some people say that the sideways photo bollocks is caused by the way in which way you hold the phone when papping, but if that is so, how come most photies come out upright, but some lie down?  I R TECHNOBAFFLD.  Some say it's an iPhone thing, but my phone is a Windysfon (because Gates good, Jobs terrible).

 

By the way, I tried downloading your pic, editing it, and saving it, but it still comes out sideways.

 

I R DUBLE TECHNOBAFFLD.

 

Anyway, have you arrived yet? 

 

PS:  got it to work.  I R STIL TREBLE TECHNOBAFFLD.

Moving house to where the car is?

The problem with the pictures, as far as I can see:

- they are .PNG format rather than the usual .jpg that comes out of most cameras

- they are absolutely huge - nearer to 2 Megabytes than a couple of hundred Kilobytes (10 times too big)

 

These two combined mean the pictures take an age to download and process.

Use a photo-editing program or something like Paint in the Accessories section of a PC to change the size of the pictures to, for example, 500 pixels wide and change the format to .jpg using "Save As"

The editing program will also allow you to rotate the picture before saving

Achievement 1 unlocked.

[Pillock]

Or just use Tapatalk as it compresses photos before uploading them.

The OP's photos are big PNGs.  My phone makes small jpgs, but still encounters at random the falling sideways issue.

It's always  fab to be treated like a 97 year old who has just been given a PC being addressed by a 9 year old computer whizz.    What?  Rotate the photos and save them?  Wow, who would have thought of that, eh?    Meanwhile, I am curious about why some pics go sideways at the outset, but others don't.

Moving house to where the car is?

 

 Given how often our cars FTP, if we all did that it would inject a lot of stimulus into the housing market.

Jpegs have an 'upright' flag in the metadata telling computers which way up to display them, but almost nobody (except apple oddly) uses it correctly. Hence different kit gets confused when display pictures taken on other kit that should all meet the same standards. It doesn't help that some phones etc randomly tag them the wrong way around as that's how they think they were taken, even when they weren't.

Fish and chips consumed, van loaded again before phase 2.

[ruffgeezer]

After a overly warm Mercedes taxi across the city;

 

Here is the next stop.

 

[ruffgeezer]

Almost famous...

 

 

In other news I have drunk far more pop today than usual so it May be a particularly windy coach trip.

 

Any guesses as to the destination yet?

[hairnet]

[ruffgeezer]

It's been a long day and no collection yet.

 

I missed my bus after misreading the information but have made it to within a mile of the new motor.

 

Did anyone have this one down?

[NorthernMonkey]

Stays light late in Bristol....pitch black up here!

[mk2_craig]

Sounds grim! Hope it's worth the effort.

[ruffgeezer]

Sofa hopping it tonight, there is some grade A shite outside but that'll wait until the morning.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Get off that sofa, man!  We need you outside, in your socks and kecks, taking happy snappies of some skanky heap.

 

 

I'm voting French, and, if I'm right and it's a Frenchy, I hope that your voiture nouvelle ancienne is more Macron than Le Pen.   Vive le Merde!
