Brilliant photos, thanks for loading up.
The upside-down orientation is an issue with CNM; I don't know how to fix it.
Can anyone help please?

In the iOS Photos app that photo is the correct way up. I might have taken the photo with the iPhone upside-down to get a flat plane of focus. Perhaps the EXIF records all this and iOS auto-rotates it but NatureMapr does not.

It's a current bug with the app. I believe if you take a photo in portrait the image is flipped upside down.

The photo owner can turn it around on CNM - click on image editor at the bottom right corner of your image of the orchid. Not a fix of the general problem, but useful for one off fixes!

Can I suggest there is a bug, we all need to just take a deep breath, it will be fixed in time but in the rightful absence of a key technical team member we may need to wait. The photos for every other purpose are the correct way up it is only the screen display where the bug occurs. It has been reported and will get fixed as I say in time.

The image editor doesn't work either, but I've made it look a bit better.

yes Michael no more need for a headstand :-)
Barb, I used editor to rotate pics round and round but they never ended in the upright correct position.
I think Derek is right: be patient and wait for bug fix; most important is the documentation even in a headstand position.

By my understanding this is a new location of this orchid on Mt Majura which if true would make it a significant sighting (even standing on ones head) - is this correct?

@MichaelMulvaney I believe it is a new location.

Super! Should go and search in the vicinity... probably stand on head and take photos if we find more...

A very satisfying outcome. And it is all because I had no idea where the main locations were that I was looking in such a location.
