Ehdottaminen[edit]

Ohjeita ehdottajille[edit]

Lue läpi Commons:Image guidelines ennen kuvan ehdottamista.

Alla on yhteenveto siitä, mitä tulee tarkastella arvioidessa kuvan sopivuutta suositelluksi kuvaksi:

  • Resoluutio – Yleensä kuvat, joiden resoluutio on alle kaksi megapikseliä, on hylätty. Alle kahden megapikselin kuva voidaan hyväksyä vain poikkeustapauksessa. Huomaa, että kuvassa, jonka resoluutio on 1 600 × 1 200, on noin 1,92 megapikseliä, joten se on kelvoton.
Commonsissa sijaitsevia kuvia voidaan käyttää muuhunkin kuin tietokoneen näytöllä katselemiseen. Niitä voidaan tulostaa tai katsella suurella resoluutiolla olevilla monitoreilla. Emme voi ennustaa, millaisia laitteistot tulevat olemaan tulevaisuudessa, joten kuvan tulee olla niin suurella resoluutiolla kuin mahdollista.
  • Fokus – kuvan tärkeimpien kohteiden tulisi olla teräviä.
  • Edusta ja tausta – edustalla ja taustalla olevat asiat voivat olla häiritseviä. Tarkista, että edustalla olevat kohteet eivät peitä mitään kuvan kannalta tärkeää ja taustalla olevat kohteet eivät pilaa asetelmaa, esimerkiksi katuvalo ei näytä tulevan jonkun päästä.
  • Tekninen korkealaatuisuus – suositellun kuvan tulee olla teknisesti korkealaatuinen.
  • Digitaaliset manipulaatiot eivät saa vetää nenästä kuvan katsojaa. Kuvassa olevien kauneusvirheiden korjaaminen on sallittua, jos korjaus on tehty hyvin ja sen tarkoituksena ei ole vääristää kuvaa. Hyväksyttäjä manipulaatioita ovat rajaus, perspektiivin oikaisu, terävöittäminen, sumentaminen ja valotuksen sekä värien korjailu. Monimutkaisemmat manipulaatiot ovat sallittuja vain, jos mallinetta {{Retouched picture}} käytetään kuvaussivulla. Kuvauksettomat tai väärin kuvatut monimutkaiset manipulaatiot ovat kiellettyjä.
  • Arvo – päätavoitteenamme on erottaa arvokkaimmat kuvat muista. Suositellun kuvan tulee olla jotenkin erikoinen.
    • Auringonlaskuista otetut valokuvat ovat kaikki vähän samanlaisia (Valokuvia)(Suomessa otettuja valokuvia)
    • Yökuvat saattavat olla hienompia, mutta päiväkuvista ilmenee yleensä enemmän tietoa
    • Kaunis ei ole sama asia kuin arvokas

Teknisiä yksityiskohtia käsitellään kohdissa valotus, asetelma, liikkeenhallinta ja terävyysalue.

  • Valotus – valotuksella tarkoitetaan valokuvauksessa kameran filmiin tallentuvaa tai digitaalikamerassa valoherkän kennon tallentamaa valon määrää. Valotuksen tulisi olla sopiva. Laajat ylivalottuneet alueet ovat usein häiritseviä.
  • Asetelma – asetelmalla tarkoitetaan kuvan esineiden sijoittumista toisiinsa nähden. ”Kolmoissääntö” (esimerkkikuva) on hyvä nyrkkisääntö siitä, millainen on hyvä asetelma. Kolmoissäännön ideana on, että kuva jaetaan kahdella pystyviivalla ja kahdella vaakaviivalla yhdeksään osaan (3×3). Pääaiheen sijoittaminen tiukasti kuvan keskelle on yleensä huonompi vaihtoehto mielenkiintoisuuden kannalta kuin pääaiheen sijoittaminen johonkin neljästä viivojen muodostamasta risteyksestä. Horisonttia ei tulisi sijoittaa kuvan keskelle, vaan jommankumman viivan keskelle. Kolmoissäännön avulla saadaan luotua dynaaminen kuva.
  • Liikkeenhallinta – liikkeenhallinnalla tarkoitetaan sitä, miten liike näkyy kuvassa. Liike voi olla terävää tai epätarkkaa. Jompikumpi aina ei ole paras vaihtoehto, vaan tärkeintä on aikomus havainnollistaa jotain. Liike on suhteellista kuvan kohteisiin verrattuna. Esimerkiksi valokuva ralliautosta, joka näyttäisi olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on huonompi vaihtoehto kuin valokuva ralliautosta, joka näkyy terävästi, mutta jonka tausta on sumuista, koska tällöin liikkeen huomaa helposti. Tätä kutsutaan ”panoroinniksi”. Toisaalta valokuva hyppäävästä koripallon pelaajasta, joka näyttää olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on hyvä sen epäluonnollisuuden takia.
  • Terävyysalue – terävyysalueella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteen terävyyttä ympäristöön verrattuna. Terävyysalue valitaan jokaisen kuvan kohdalla erikseen. Suuri tai pieni terävyysalue voi huonontaa tai parantaa kuvan laatua. Pientä terävyysaluetta voidaan käyttää erottamaan pääkohde muusta ympäristöstä. Näin katsojan huomio kiinnittyy haluttuun kohteeseen. Suurta terävyysaluetta voidaan taas käyttää tilan havainnollistamiseen. Lähtökohtaisesti syväterävyysalue muodostuu sitä lyhyemmäksi, mitä suurempaa aukkoarvoa valokuvaaja käyttää. Vastaavasti pientä aukkoarvoa käytettäessä syväterävyysalue voi ulottua kuvan etualalta äärettömään. Aukon arvon lisäksi syväterävyysalueeseen vaikuttaa kuitenkin myös objektiivin todellinen polttoväli ja toisaalta kohteen etäisyys kuvaajasta.

Alla käsitellään vielä grafiikkaa.

  • Terävyys – pääkohteiden ääriviivojen on oltava teräviä.
  • Kolmiulotteisuus – kolmiulotteisuuden on oltava laadukasta. Parhaiten tämä onnistuu siten, että valo tulee kohteen sivulta. Yleensä kuvaajasta päin tuleva valo ei onnistu luomaan kunnollista kolmiulotteista vaikutelmaa, vaan se johtaa litteään vaikutelmaan. Paras valo ulkona on aamulla tai illalla.
  • Värit – värit eivät saa olla liian kylläisiä.
  • Tekstuuri – kohteen pinnan on oltava kolmiulotteisen näköinen ja laadukas.
  • Perspektiivi – kuvan tulee olla kolmiulotteinen.
  • Tasapaino – kuvan kohteiden tulisi olla tasapainossa keskenään. Suurta määrää kohteita ei tulisi jommallakummalla puolella.
  • Mittasuhde – mittasuhteella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteiden kokoa toisiinsa verrattuna. Yleensä meillä taipumus esittää pienet kohteet pieninä, mutta toisaalta pienen kohteen esittäminen suurena luonnossa suurta kohdetta vasten on myös hyvä tekniikka, esimerkiksi kukan esittäminen vuorta vasten.
  • Symbolinen tarkoitus – huono kuva vaikeasta aiheesta on parempi kuin hyvä kuva helposta aiheesta.
Valokuvaaja ja/tai sen katselija voivat tarkastella kuvan kohdetta puolueellisesti. Kuvan arvoa ei tulisi arvioida arvioijan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella, vaan se tulisi arvioida kuvan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella. Hyvä kuva ”puhuu” katsojalle herättäen sellaisia tunteita kuin ilo, sympatia, herkkyys, suru, inho, viha ja raivo. Hyvän kuvan herättämät tunteet eivät ole vain positiivisia.

Käytäntö[edit]

Yleiset säännöt[edit]

  1. Äänestys on auki tasan yhdeksän vuorokautta ehdotuksen tekemisen jälkeen.
  2. Käyttäjätunnuksettomat käyttäjät saavat ehdottaa ja keskustella, mutta eivät äänestää.
  3. Ehdotus ei ole ääni. Ääni on annettava erikseen.
  4. Ehdottaja voi vetää ehdotuksen pois lisäämällä {{withdraw|~~~~}} äänestyssivulle.
  5. Wikimedia Commons ei ole vain Wikipedian kuvavarasto, joten kuvia ei tule arvioida vain Wikipediaan soveltuvuuden perusteella.
  6. Jos kuva ei saa muita kannattavia ääniä kuin ehdottajan viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen tekemisestä, poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa.
  7. Mallineella {{FPX}} merkitty poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa 24 tunnin kuluttua mallineen lisäämisestä, jos muita kannatusääniä kuin ehdottajan ei ole.

Statuksen muutos[edit]

Kuvasta tulee suositeltu kuva, jos se täyttää seuraavat vaatimukset:

  1. Kuvaussivulla on hyväksytty ja totuudenmukainen tekijänoikeusmalline
  2. Vähintään viisi kannatusääntä
  3. Vähintään kaksi kolmasosaa äänistä kannattavia
  4. Saman kuvan eri versiosta vain yksi saa olla suositeltu kuva. Siitä kuvasta, joka on kerännyt eniten kannattavia ääniä, tulee suositeltu kuva.

Statuksen poistoehdotuksen kohdalla sovelletaan samoja sääntöjä. Jos statuksen poistoa kannattavia ääniä ei ole tullut ehdottajan äänen lisäksi viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen teosta, äänestys tulee sulkea.

Ohjeita äänestyksen lopettamisesta on sivulla Commons:Featured picture candidates/What to do after voting is finished.

Arvostele hyvien tapojen mukaisesti[edit]

Muista, että kuva jota kommentoit on jonkun tekemä. Älä käytä sellaista tyyliä kommenteissasi kuin ”Vihaan kuvaa”, ”Kuva on ihan ruma” tai ”Kamala kuva”.

  • Hi Atef Ouni, I see that you are starting to settle in here at FPC, but there are still a few things you need to learn. For a FPC, the documentation on the files page is just as important as the picture itself. I have fixed that for you on some of your nominations, please take a look at the changes I have done on your file pages. It would also be good if you learned a bit more about how categories work on Commons. They are not the same as "tags" that you use on other media platforms. You went a bit wild on this photo ;-) , and I have cleaned it up for you. You can learn more about how they work at Commons:Categories/fr. And like XRay said, the categories stay on the file page, they do not belong on nominations. Another important piece of information for FPs is the location. Please add it to this photo, and preferably add it to other photos too. It is very valuable to know when the images are used in Wikipedia articles. It is always a lot to take in when you come to a new forum like this, but we've all been there, and things will get easier. Best, --Cart (talk) 10:36, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Hi TOUMOU, I see that Rhododendrites has helped you with the categories and fixing the description, thanks for that. Documentation of the photo is just as important for FPC as a good image, so take a look at the changes that have been made on the file page. Good information on the file page will always improve your chances of getting a photo promoted to FP, since info makes it more valuable to the Wiki project. Therefore, would you please add the location to the photo too. If you don't know it, please ask the photographer Skander zarrad. I have fixed the gallery link for you. You need to specify both the right page and the section. When you nominate an image here, you become sort of a "temporary caretaker" of that photo, and it's up to you to make sure everything is fixed and correct. Best, --Cart (talk) 10:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done I added the location of the photo, it was taken as part of a photo walk organised during the WLE this year Thank you for your help and suggestion TOUMOU (talk) 11:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tanner at work, Medina of Marrakesh
Nice photo! Are you sure he is a tanner or has there been a simple mix-up in the translation? A tanner is someone who process the raw hides into leather, a very hazardous and revolting job. After that the leather goes to a currier who dyes and prepare the leather before it can be made into different things by a leather worker. Traditionally, such craftsmen are called "saddlers" even if they make other things from leather than saddles. Perhaps he performs all three professions and we only see one of them (leather working) here in the photo. Love the cat! :-) --Cart (talk) 17:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination Undeclared photo manipulation. Yann (talk) 09:38, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After someone's comment, I added the manipulations made, corrected the problems, and uploaded the new versions, all detailed on the description page. However, I think there is a lack of trust in my nominations why did some people withdraw their vote in favor without checking if what this person said, both the explanations about the modifications and the graphical errors, existed in the photograph?. Therefore, I thank Yann for his nomination and I understand the concern of some people here about me, but I am not well psychologically speaking and I feel it is necessary to withdraw indefinitely from this section because it causes me a lot of stress. --Wilfredor (talk) 11:10, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking straight up into the magenta Aurora Borealis over Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden
  • Auroras are not like most light sources we are used to. They are not constant, like when you photograph sunlight, lamps or the moon. Instead they move constantly and quickly (the link is a good real time video of a lively aurora), kind of like smoke in the wind. They pulsate and throb, one moment you can have a bright formation to your left and 1/4 sec later it can flicker out and a new pulse/ray/squiggle of light appear above or to the right, and this aurora was extremely lively. This random pattern makes it impossible to set the camera perfectly and there will be some posterization if you want to catch the best of these light shows. If you shoot an aurora, you have to take the good with the bad. Also, in this photo, not all variances in luminescence are are due to the aurora. Some of them are small thin clouds. The night started out cloudy, but they began to disappear so I could catch some of the aurora. The small clouds are easier to see in some other photos, like this taken on the same spot, but down towards the horizon. The whole series is in this category. --Cart (talk) 10:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not questioning the camera settings, those seem perfectly reasonable. Is posterization also present in the raw file? If so, the issue is indeed due to camera limitations and there is not much that can be done without misrepresenting the aurora. However, in my own pictures I can only recall a couple that showed posterization on the original image. In all other instances posterization was caused by something I did during editing (e.g., clipping channels) or exporting (e.g., choosing the wrong colour space, using too much JPEG compression). --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My dear Julesvernex2, your prominent collection of cameras is so way, way, way much better than the two I have, so of course you don't have these problems. My aurora photos are actually among the least processed of all my photos. All edits on aurora photos from such an inferior camera will only make things worse, so I use a very light touch. But the camera is what it is, totally inadequate for professional night photos, but I like to photograph what I see anyway for my own amusement and for use on Wiki articles where the images look good enough at thumb and on the file page. I would never nominate any of my aurora photos here, but I've learned to play along if someone else does. Thank you for reminding me of my humble equipment and confirming that I made the right decision to not nominate my photos here any more, now that technology has moved forward and I haven't been able to follow. --Cart (talk) 12:13, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I offered my own experience as advice, which is a regular (and, in my opinion, useful) occurrence on these pages. I apologise if I have in some way offended you, take care. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not offended and I always appreciate advice, but there is simply not much I can do about my camera. It's like owning an old Saab and someone with a Ferrari is trying to give you tips on how to drive your old rust heap. ;-) You just feel stupid for parking next to such fab piece of machinery.

The camera helps, but it doesn't make it all. The greatest pictures were taken with equipment way behind current technology. What's IMO most important is being at the right time at the right place, and having a bit of artistic genius or a human touch. And here you got it all, Cart! Yann (talk) 13:07, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Yann, that philosophy works excellently out IRL, but it does not apply to FPC. Remember that this community has snubbed some of the greatest photos and photographers through pixel-peeping and hard-liner tech talk. --Cart (talk) 13:13, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's one of the great failures of FPC. I guess that a number of Pulitzer prizes or National Geographic pictures may fail here. This doesn't reduce the greatness of the pictures. It only shows the limitations of our community. Yann (talk) 13:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cart's EOS 600D from Canon was one of the best in the entry-level class in terms of image quality, similar to my entry-level D3300 from Nikon. But I'm largely happy with it, and it's interesting to see the tried-and-true sensor used unchanged for the 2018 D3500. As Yann mentioned, it's always the photographer behind the camera that counts. The camera is just the tool, whether it's an old Saab or a Ferrari. I would also prefer a higher quality camera, but family commitments and a moderate income make investing in expensive camera systems almost unaffordable. If I may repeat my earlier statement at this point, many of Cart's images would, in my opinion, be worthy of inclusion in the FP Media Archive via the FPC nomination process. Thanks also to Julesvernex2 for the helpful hints and explanations. Just my two cents to this conversation. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 20:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get me wrong Radomianin, I love my old cameras. They are quite sufficient for my needs, but my needs don't include gathering FPs anymore. I've had my fair share of gold stars, and my little hoard is enough for me. I'm much happier just doing maintenance now and helping newbies here, so they don't stumble on some technicality. --Cart (talk) 05:10, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your appreciated efforts to assist talented newbies.

Comments about profession depicted
  •  Comment Hi IssamBarhoumi, what a great photo! However, what he is doing is a bit mislabeled. What he is doing is not engraving, but it is very common for people outside the handicraft trade to know the difference. ;-) Engraving is when you cut away material to make patterns (no hammer involved for engraving metals). What he is doing is called chasing, part of the repoussé and chasing techniques used by copper, silver and goldsmiths. Chasing is when you hammer in a pattern into the material, and repoussé is when you hammer out patterns from the backside of the material. I have fixed up the description and the categories for you, but would you mind if the file was renamed too so that is showed the right profession. I'm so happy that we finally have a really good photo for the wiki articles and chasers on Wikidata. Coppersmiths often use many different techniques to make the patterns on their work, and the right terminology for all of them is not easy. Best, --Cart (talk) 15:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the case using Google and Wikipedia. The place is some 180 km from Juba, the capital town, it is definitely not a city like London or Tokyo, but it is a town of 490 000+ population, it has airport, banks, schools and university, telecommunication company, TV and shops of electronics, churches of several confessions, etc. There is a school and a clinic in Kimotong. So, I do not think that they are so innocent to not understand the consequences of photography. And I agree that the photo has documentary value and encyclopedic value. LexKurochkin (talk) 07:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, but do you believe to know better than me where I was? it was not in the city of Kimotong, but a remote village in the province. And that's precisely why we went there. It was not a photo tour behind a mall in Juba. There is no shops, no current, no telecom, no transport or something like that in the area. The closest water well could be 1 hour away by foot. Telling this wiöl surely make no difference and people will believe whatever they want, but whatsoever. Poco a poco (talk) 07:24, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

180 km without any transport means (or public transport options) and with no asphalt roads (a 4x4 is required) is not what you may think of (definitely not a 1 and a half hours smooth drive). In fact, wit a 4x4 we couldn't drive often faster than 30 km/h Poco a poco (talk) 07:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very true! Unfortunately, this is an old problem on FPC. Too many voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically, will think that all photos should have the same quality as a well-lit, stacked church façade or a studio photo. --Cart (talk) 20:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cart's statement comes across as passive-aggressive. If I understand correctly, you are directly placing me in the category of "voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically". That's fine, do you; there's a legitimate reason why I don't post my pictures here, but that doesn't make me any less inadequate. I have no problem with the other responses here, except Cart's. Keep in mind that this is not the first time it has occurred; see here. Wolverine XI 07:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There can be no argument on the settings used. But the criticism in the context of FPC is valid. It is difficult to take an FP-standard image in low light.

  •  Oppose The author can't help it, but I can't get used to the scaffolding in a prominent place.--Milseburg (talk) 13:55, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Are you sure it ruins the photo? ★ 15:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I wouldn't say ruin. But the scaffolding is too disturbing for an FP. The conditions for an outstanding image of this building were not present at that time. The rising sun is nice to have, but for a FP of this ensemble of buildings, I would forgo it and prefer if important parts of the building are not covered by elements that wouldn't normally belong. BTW, the crop is a bit tight, isn't it? --Milseburg (talk) 16:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Just a comment (no critic of your vote!). I completely understand the dislike for the scaffolding. Personally I have learned to resign myself with it especially in photographs of very prominent buildings. I have visited Florence, Siena, and Pisa (to mention just the most famous Cathedral towns of Tuscany) each several times, but AFAICR never seen any of the famous cathedrals without scaffolding – when the restoration work was finished at one part, the next part was scaffolded to carry on with the work. The same applies to all major French cathedrals I know. Therefore I am rather happy with photos like this one because it offers at least an almost clean foreground (almost no cars, people, stands/kiosks – all these nasty things which often ruin photos of such buildings). – Aristeas (talk) 07:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)  Comment Cologne Cathedral always has scaffolding somewhere. But if a prominent part, like one of the towers, was scaffolded, no FP would be possible at that time. Taking an FP is difficult, it is not possible under every condition. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose Outstanding scene. But the sharpness doesn't convince me and the elaboration seems too dark to me. IMHO there is also to much empty sky. Overall not perfect enough for a FP. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Milseburg I wouldn't say the scene is too dark. Again, noticable details. However, assuming by the colors on the very top, it is somewhere between nautical and astronomical twilight due to the redness. I've browsed through some categories of mountains during sunset, and the ones that had significant light had a more yellow shade, while this one is more red. The sky could probably be cropped a bit, but the sky is an important feature of this image. WildMouse76 (talk) 22:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frank Schulenburg, technically, it's the same effect that you have at the Horsetail Fall (Yosemite) (nearer where you live). With the sun at the right angle and normal conditions at sunset, the red light will prevail and strike the surfaces that can be reached by the light. The red light is not that uncommon, but it gets so striking when isolated to a few patches by the shadows of surrounding mountains. --Cart (talk) 11:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And like XRay said, the categories stay on the file page, they do not belong on nominations. Another important piece of information for FPs is the location. Please add it to this photo, and preferably add it to other photos too. It is very valuable to know when the images are used in Wikipedia articles.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Hi TOUMOU, I see that Rhododendrites has helped you with the categories and fixing the description, thanks for that. Documentation of the photo is just as important for FPC as a good image, so take a look at the changes that have been made on the file page. Good information on the file page will always improve your chances of getting a photo promoted to FP, since info makes it more valuable to the Wiki project. Therefore, would you please add the location to the photo too. If you don't know it, please ask the photographer Skander zarrad. I have fixed the gallery link for you. You need to specify both the right page and the section. When you nominate an image here, you become sort of a "temporary caretaker" of that photo, and it's up to you to make sure everything is fixed and correct.

Nice photo! Are you sure he is a tanner or has there been a simple mix-up in the translation? A tanner is someone who process the raw hides into leather, a very hazardous and revolting job. After that the leather goes to a currier who dyes and prepare the leather before it can be made into different things by a leather worker. Traditionally, such craftsmen are called "saddlers" even if they make other things from leather than saddles. Perhaps he performs all three professions and we only see one of them (leather working) here in the photo. Love the cat! :-) --Cart (talk) 17:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking straight up into the magenta Aurora Borealis over Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden
  • Auroras are not like most light sources we are used to. They are not constant, like when you photograph sunlight, lamps or the moon. Instead they move constantly and quickly (the link is a good real time video of a lively aurora), kind of like smoke in the wind. They pulsate and throb, one moment you can have a bright formation to your left and 1/4 sec later it can flicker out and a new pulse/ray/squiggle of light appear above or to the right, and this aurora was extremely lively. This random pattern makes it impossible to set the camera perfectly and there will be some posterization if you want to catch the best of these light shows. If you shoot an aurora, you have to take the good with the bad. Also, in this photo, not all variances in luminescence are are due to the aurora. Some of them are small thin clouds. The night started out cloudy, but they began to disappear so I could catch some of the aurora. The small clouds are easier to see in some other photos, like this taken on the same spot, but down towards the horizon. The whole series is in this category. --Cart (talk) 10:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not questioning the camera settings, those seem perfectly reasonable. Is posterization also present in the raw file? If so, the issue is indeed due to camera limitations and there is not much that can be done without misrepresenting the aurora. However, in my own pictures I can only recall a couple that showed posterization on the original image. In all other instances posterization was caused by something I did during editing (e.g., clipping channels) or exporting (e.g., choosing the wrong colour space, using too much JPEG compression). --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My dear Julesvernex2, your prominent collection of cameras is so way, way, way much better than the two I have, so of course you don't have these problems. My aurora photos are actually among the least processed of all my photos. All edits on aurora photos from such an inferior camera will only make things worse, so I use a very light touch. But the camera is what it is, totally inadequate for professional night photos, but I like to photograph what I see anyway for my own amusement and for use on Wiki articles where the images look good enough at thumb and on the file page. I would never nominate any of my aurora photos here, but I've learned to play along if someone else does. Thank you for reminding me of my humble equipment and confirming that I made the right decision to not nominate my photos here any more, now that technology has moved forward and I haven't been able to follow. --Cart (talk) 12:13, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I offered my own experience as advice, which is a regular (and, in my opinion, useful) occurrence on these pages. I apologise if I have in some way offended you, take care. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not offended and I always appreciate advice, but there is simply not much I can do about my camera. It's like owning an old Saab and someone with a Ferrari is trying to give you tips on how to drive your old rust heap. ;-) You just feel stupid for parking next to such fab piece of machinery. I know my place, and it's outside this race track now. :-) --Cart (talk) 13:01, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The camera helps, but it doesn't make it all. The greatest pictures were taken with equipment way behind current technology. What's IMO most important is being at the right time at the right place, and having a bit of artistic genius or a human touch. And here you got it all, Cart! Yann (talk) 13:07, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Yann, that philosophy works excellently out IRL, but it does not apply to FPC. Remember that this community has snubbed some of the greatest photos and photographers through pixel-peeping and hard-liner tech talk. --Cart (talk) 13:13, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's one of the great failures of FPC. I guess that a number of Pulitzer prizes or National Geographic pictures may fail here. This doesn't reduce the greatness of the pictures. It only shows the limitations of our community. Yann (talk) 13:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cart's EOS 600D from Canon was one of the best in the entry-level class in terms of image quality, similar to my entry-level D3300 from Nikon. But I'm largely happy with it, and it's interesting to see the tried-and-true sensor used unchanged for the 2018 D3500. As Yann mentioned, it's always the photographer behind the camera that counts. The camera is just the tool, whether it's an old Saab or a Ferrari. I would also prefer a higher quality camera, but family commitments and a moderate income make investing in expensive camera systems almost unaffordable. If I may repeat my earlier statement at this point, many of Cart's images would, in my opinion, be worthy of inclusion in the FP Media Archive via the FPC nomination process. Thanks also to Julesvernex2 for the helpful hints and explanations. Just my two cents to this conversation. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 20:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get me wrong Radomianin, I love my old cameras. They are quite sufficient for my needs, but my needs don't include gathering FPs anymore. I've had my fair share of gold stars, and my little hoard is enough for me. I'm much happier just doing maintenance now and helping newbies here, so they don't stumble on some technicality. --Cart (talk) 05:10, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your appreciated efforts to assist talented newbies. By welcoming them with open arms, we show them the open-mindedness and tolerance propagated by the WMF, so that FPC does not appear to be an elitist club that they will leave in fright. -- Radomianin (talk) 05:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments about profession depicted
  •  Comment Hi IssamBarhoumi, what a great photo! However, what he is doing is a bit mislabeled. What he is doing is not engraving, but it is very common for people outside the handicraft trade to know the difference. ;-) Engraving is when you cut away material to make patterns (no hammer involved for engraving metals). What he is doing is called chasing, part of the repoussé and chasing techniques used by copper, silver and goldsmiths. Chasing is when you hammer in a pattern into the material, and repoussé is when you hammer out patterns from the backside of the material. I have fixed up the description and the categories for you, but would you mind if the file was renamed too so that is showed the right profession. I'm so happy that we finally have a really good photo for the wiki articles and chasers on Wikidata. Coppersmiths often use many different techniques to make the patterns on their work, and the right terminology for all of them is not easy. Best, --Cart (talk) 15:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Young Laarim woman with extensive scarification, Kimotong, South Sudan.NSFWTAG
I checked the case using Google and Wikipedia. The place is some 180 km from Juba, the capital town, it is definitely not a city like London or Tokyo, but it is a town of 490 000+ population, it has airport, banks, schools and university, telecommunication company, TV and shops of electronics, churches of several confessions, etc. There is a school and a clinic in Kimotong. So, I do not think that they are so innocent to not understand the consequences of photography. And I agree that the photo has documentary value and encyclopedic value. LexKurochkin (talk) 07:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, but do you believe to know better than me where I was? it was not in the city of Kimotong, but a remote village in the province. And that's precisely why we went there. It was not a photo tour behind a mall in Juba. There is no shops, no current, no telecom, no transport or something like that in the area. The closest water well could be 1 hour away by foot. Telling this wiöl surely make no difference and people will believe whatever they want, but whatsoever. Poco a poco (talk) 07:24, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did not pretend to know the place better than you, as I said clearly, I just used Google and Wkipedia. I tryed to understand. And, actually, you told us your vision of the place only in this particular post. LexKurochkin (talk) 08:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

180 km without any transport means (or public transport options) and with no asphalt roads (a 4x4 is required) is not what you may think of (definitely not a 1 and a half hours smooth drive). In fact, wit a 4x4 we couldn't drive often faster than 30 km/h Poco a poco (talk) 07:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very true! Unfortunately, this is an old problem on FPC. Too many voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically, will think that all photos should have the same quality as a well-lit, stacked church façade or a studio photo. --Cart (talk) 20:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cart's statement comes across as passive-aggressive. If I understand correctly, you are directly placing me in the category of "voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically". That's fine, do you; there's a legitimate reason why I don't post my pictures here, but that doesn't make me any less inadequate. I have no problem with the other responses here, except Cart's. Keep in mind that this is not the first time it has occurred; see here. Wolverine XI 07:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There can be no argument on the settings used. But the criticism in the context of FPC is valid. It is difficult to take an FP-standard image in low light. I would be more than happy to support this level of technical quality if the bird was rare. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The author can't help it, but I can't get used to the scaffolding in a prominent place.--Milseburg (talk) 13:55, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Are you sure it ruins the photo? ★ 15:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I wouldn't say ruin. But the scaffolding is too disturbing for an FP. The conditions for an outstanding image of this building were not present at that time. The rising sun is nice to have, but for a FP of this ensemble of buildings, I would forgo it and prefer if important parts of the building are not covered by elements that wouldn't normally belong. BTW, the crop is a bit tight, isn't it? --Milseburg (talk) 16:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Just a comment (no critic of your vote!). I completely understand the dislike for the scaffolding. Personally I have learned to resign myself with it especially in photographs of very prominent buildings. I have visited Florence, Siena, and Pisa (to mention just the most famous Cathedral towns of Tuscany) each several times, but AFAICR never seen any of the famous cathedrals without scaffolding – when the restoration work was finished at one part, the next part was scaffolded to carry on with the work. The same applies to all major French cathedrals I know. Therefore I am rather happy with photos like this one because it offers at least an almost clean foreground (almost no cars, people, stands/kiosks – all these nasty things which often ruin photos of such buildings). – Aristeas (talk) 07:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)  Comment Cologne Cathedral always has scaffolding somewhere. But if a prominent part, like one of the towers, was scaffolded, no FP would be possible at that time. Taking an FP is difficult, it is not possible under every condition. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Everest during sunset
 Oppose Outstanding scene. But the sharpness doesn't convince me and the elaboration seems too dark to me. IMHO there is also to much empty sky. Overall not perfect enough for a FP. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Milseburg I wouldn't say the scene is too dark. Again, noticable details. However, assuming by the colors on the very top, it is somewhere between nautical and astronomical twilight due to the redness. I've browsed through some categories of mountains during sunset, and the ones that had significant light had a more yellow shade, while this one is more red. The sky could probably be cropped a bit, but the sky is an important feature of this image. WildMouse76 (talk) 22:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frank Schulenburg, technically, it's the same effect that you have at the Horsetail Fall (Yosemite) (nearer where you live). With the sun at the right angle and normal conditions at sunset, the red light will prevail and strike the surfaces that can be reached by the light. The red light is not that uncommon, but it gets so striking when isolated to a few patches by the shadows of surrounding mountains. --Cart (talk) 11:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
