Long story.....got a new ATV last week.
2014 can am outlander 650.

First ride went well, as expected. Few friends and the kids. 20 miles, campfire lunch, 20 more miles, bit of sightseeing. Between rain drops managed a few iPhone pics. Mostly abandon rail lines.












85 miles in all. 5 bikes.
Pics don't do the rail bridge any justice. Had to be 100 feet high, maybe more. 140? Effin big anyway.

Edit.....geeeze, why they always upside down? Fk it. Anybody know how to get rotated pic to save correctly?

Hey Mike, pls post the pics of the railway bridge.

The stop sign is the Algonquin park boundary .



Hope the rotation is right.......
Edit......nope. Shows correct in pb. I rotated I pb, still shows upside down. Grrrrrrr.

Hey Mike. great pics. I miss running my 3 wheeler Hponda ATV. Used to have lots of farm land to ride. Now it's all houses.

If you're running Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010, there is an application called Microsoft Office Picture Manager. If you browse to the image, you will have the ability to rotate the image to the correct orientation. After you set the orientation, you will need to save the image.

If not, there are plenty of free tools, like GIMP, on the internet that can do the same thing. change the orientation and then save the image.

Thanks for the software name Stan. I'll look into it.


GEEEZE..... now on the Win XP latop they show correct orientation. ipad they are upside down, as when I re-loaded them for GDH.







Maybe I just need to load them in PB on the iPad and post them on the WinXP laptop. Sometimes I really dislike computers......

Mike, try taking pics on an Iphone with the volume buttons down. Bet you took them with the volume buttons up.

Dodosmike

"Down" when held horizontally?

Yes Mike, volume buttons down, on/off button to the left and the home button to the right. The Iphone pictures are only stored in the correct orientation when the phone takes a picture held that way. Hold it any other direction and the picture will appear upright on the phone but be rotated when you send it somewhere else.

Technically, what happens is that the phone takes a picture without rotating it as it saves it but in the metadata for the picture it sets the rotation flag. This save and flag method allows it to take pictures quicker and use less processing time by not rotating the image to the upright orientation before saving. However, many apps don't properly recognize that rotation flag. The ones that do would display it correctly but the ones that don't would display it how the phone was rotated compared to the above direction I gave.

So, the simplest way to use the camera and get right way up pictures is to put the volume buttons down. Stupidly, this goes against the way a typical camera works since the + button can be used as a shutter button and it's on the bottom and not the top.

Nice quad Mike, plus BRP has an industry best warranty. I just bought one a month or so ago, '13 500 Sportsman HO. First time I've strayed from Yamaha in like never

Do sleds cross that bridge in the winter?

Dodosmike

Not supposed to. There is a 4km sissy trail to avoid the bridge. Somebody usually moves the barrier at some point.

My 2nd can am.

3 Hondas and one lowly yamahahaha. I'll never stray. The torque is addictive and eye watering. Like no other ATV I've ridden. So smooth it's scary fast for 650lbs!
