Fog on Golden Gate Bridge is reducing visibility.
This image is not so much about Golden Gate. This image illustrates fog as a visibility hazard. There two road signs there that one hardly could see. In my opinion this image is the best to illustrate the subject and that's why it is special.--Two+two=4 (talk) 13:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong  Oppose At first, I was impressed by the scene, where it seems a cloud is crossing the Golden Gate (more than general fog). However, I realized the fog was digitally added (original version)
I reverted to the original but the only thing I tried to do was to reduce noise in some places, where it was hard to reduce using other ways because of the cables. So I made the image lighter in some places.Here's one of the first images I took on that day File:Fog over Golden Gate Bridge 2.jpg. It is an original image. Then I decided to take shots for panorama. The fog over the bridge is ever moving and ever changing. While I was taken the images of a lower part the fog moved in, while I was taken images of the middle part the fog moved out, while I was taken images of the upper part... and so on, and so on. I like to take images of the moving subjects for my panoramas Hugin blended images together and actually reduced the fog in some places I guess. When I made my edit I brought the image back to the way it looked in the reality. --Two+two=4 (talk) 03:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The alterations are still there (the version you reverted back to still contains the added fog). I think (I might be mistaken) you are fairly new to FPC process, so I will direct you towards the digital manipulations guidelines, especially to the {{RetouchedPicture}} template. --S23678 (talk) 03:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You are more than mistaking (about the fog I mean)! Here's one more image I took this very day (also an original one) File:Fog over GGB.jpg. The fog over Golden Gate Bridge is a well known phenomenon.I really wish I could add the fog digitally. I guess I will direct you to learning more about the subject before making such a serious accusations as "adding fog digitally" or you could look over other images that were uploaded to Commons like this one for instance File:Morning Fog at GGB.JPG}{{smile} --Two+two=4 (talk) 03:56, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I remove my "Oppose", since it no longer applies to the current FPC (although I would suggest you nominate edits as alternatives). I think there has been some misunderstandings, so I will try to rectify some things: My first comment about the "added fog" referred to a note I made on the image, which got erased when you changed the version of the image. It was about a spot of fog a lot more bright than the fog in the rest of the picture, which is no longer present on the current version. I thought that spot was simply brighten by photoshop (that's where the "digitally added" comes from), but is was actually from images blending. This is still a digital manipulation, hence my suggestion of adding the retouched picture template (since a viewer can be easily mistaken in thinking it's a genuine scene). About my second comment, I added it because the new version of the file was then appearing as being the exact same as the version I opposed (no longer the case now, I don't know why). BTW, I've been on the bridge myself when there was fog, I do not think it's an impossible phenomenon. --S23678 (talk) 05:42, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am very glad we cleared the fog up. --Two+two=4 (talk) 12:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am learning fast . --Two+two=4 (talk) 14:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you are right. I found this image after I nominated mine, yet I believe mine is different because it really illustrates how hard it is to see road signs in the fog.--Two+two=4 (talk) 23:09, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
