What is the case when the photos are taken from a vertically up position? What orientation does it take? For eg: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-

  I don't have iPhone, but almost every phone uses same orientation for photo as for GUI to avoid confusion. Orientation for GUI is usually changed with some hysteresis and other filtering, so probably answer is "The same orientation as it was before rotating in this position".

  The EXIF orientation tag encodes all orientations: http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/exif-orientation.html http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/exif-orientation.html

    It only encodes orientations that result from rotation around the axis perpendicular to the line of sight (in other words, the rotations that can be reversed by display software). Parent was asking about the orientation with camera above the subject pointing directly down. I don't think EXIF can encode that -- there's no reason to, since display software has no way to reverse it.

      Well, photographs are two dimensional.
