Miranda read my last and volunteered to send me some photos of some coati we saw by the side of the road. These guys were super adorable!

Which inspired me to go grab the camera for the 2 beach photos we took.

Scroll down for cursing about iPhones, digitcal cameras, standards and the incomplete adherence to them.

Bonus rant. Some camera manufacturers (including iPhone cameras) have decided to include an orientation tag in their EXIF data. This is SUPER HELPFUL because if you take a photo on an iPhone, it’ll know how best to display it to you! But if you send that photo to someone, and that someone has programs, half of which respect that tag and the other half of which don’t respect it, you have a problem.

Guess which half respect the tag? All of my image editing programs were like “Yes, this photo is totally right side up”. Guess which half don’t respect the tag? Well, WordPress most notably, so I would upload photos that were sideways that Android Image Editor and Photoshop Express would insist were not sideways!

Some research later, and an EXIF editing program and an extra step to my on-the-go photo processing workflow and we have photos of coati and more knowledge.
