How to hold your PHONE to post pictures

[AC0GV]

It’s a ten-year-old video but is still correct.
I know I’m wasting my time, but I’ll post it anyway.

I made four videos with my iPhone.

Tell me which orientation I used for each:

....that if people held their camera/phone correctly the pictures would not be up side down when they post and they would display to fill the screen.

I have one bar of service so I'm not going to watch. But I CAN tell you, it doesn't matter what other media you use to post videos or pics, the software used by FiberglassRV REQUIRES pictures post in landscape mode. Whether you take the pictures that way, OR you use software to rotate the pics and THEN post. Landscape, landscape, landscape!!

OK, I'll try uploading 4 photos and see if they come out crazy.

I take the photos, upload to google photos, and then since they are in Apple's .HEIC format, I have to do something to them to get them to .jpg format, so I crop a tiny amount off one edge. Then I download them and upload to FGRF.

And they always come out rightside-up for me.

I have no idea what others are doing, but it seems that FGRV does accept any orientation photos from an iPhone if you do what I do.
