Well done Brian - sounds great.

It does sound great.

There's been many an occasion I've taken a weather-related pic but not ended up posting it because I was out and about and couldn't be bothered uploading it to a photo storage site then opening a post, then hotlinking to the pic.

This sounds much cleaner 

Yes, I ech what the other's have said so far. It sounds like a great tool!

And it's another reason why Android is sooooo much better than iPhone!

Exciting times. Good work Brian. 

A couple of photos have appeared. 

There is an issue with camera rotation at times so for the moment I would suggest using portrait mode.

My picture of blue sky and clouds was taken was taken with my 10-inch KINDLE FIRE.

Where were you when you took that photo? Your phone suggested lat approx -0.16 deg. 

Just at home, 53.85N, -1.62W according to Googlemaps...Connected via home WIFI to internet.

I think I can see it

Looks like a nice day there

On my map it seems to be showing as Cambridge though

edit ** take 2 it's moved to under the W of Weather View

It didn't get uploaded. There are 2 reasons I can think of:

1) The file could be too big. I can quickly change the upload limit, although it is quite high already so I would be surprised if you have exceeded it. 

2) Your internet connection dropped or timed out

If you get chance can you try again please?

The picture which has uploaded today is one I took earlier in Berkhamsted. It isn't exactly in the right place on the map, but the coordinates are stored correctly in the database so correcting should be a relatively easy task.

I followed the instructions on my phone but nothing at all happened

May be because I am being stupid but I wondered if it is the type of internet connection that matters

I only use my mobile phone very occasionally as PAYG (and as a phone strangely !). I do have internet access but via wi fi and not via 4G. Would this explain it ?

I have successfully tested with Wi-Fi and 4G.Not sure what has happened in your case. There isn't anything logged in the database and no pictures have uploaded. I will try and build in more meaningful feedback so that you can see the error message returned. 

I fixed a problem with longitude coordinates at 13:02 today. For example, if you were at 0.5 deg it was recording 0.05 deg. That fix will not be retrospectively applied to photos.

My Kindle Fire only has a forward facing camera. 

I've rewritten part of this so that it works with Apple iPhone / iPad + Safari. I'll upload the updated version tomorrow for testing. 

This should now be working on iPhone/iPad as well as Android.

I've also made a number of changes to the camera.

1) A timeout and feedback is provided if upload fails

2) If location services a notification is provided and no attempt to upload the photo is made

3) The camera screen is greyed out as the upload takes place to prevent the possibility of buttons being accidentally pressed

It is still restricted to TWO forum users and can be accessed here:

https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/photo-uploader.aspx

I'll be improving the viewer so that:

1) More usable on mobile

2) Links to most recent photos in addition to the latest one

3) Full size view of the pics

https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/twoother/sky-eye-live.aspx

Still in development but now you can...

1) Take photos on Android and Apple IOS devices here

https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/photo-uploader.aspx

2) See the latest uploaded photos today on this page:

https://www.theweatheroutlook.com/twoother/sky-eye-live.aspx

3) View galleries by date and click through to full sized picture here:

4) View galleries by user, for example:

Stickied. 

I'll also integrate into the site and forum fully once I'm happy with it. However, it is usable now.
