  •  Info Rococo staircase in Gruber Mansion, Ljubljana. About photo: behind window is white wall, not burned. Fresco above cant be seen like this in real, HDR make it looking better than in real. Shot with fisheye.

  •  Oppose Much as I love my fisheye, I don't think this scene benefits and the curved wall is troublesome. Also the crop just looks like "this is as much as I could fit" rather than a careful arrangement -- the left side is chopped off. And although a small part of the ceiling fresco is now visible, it remains very poor quality. I recommend trying a panorama + HDR like Diliff used here to get the wide staircase but with regular verticals. Also the ceiling fresco appears to be a dome so may be better shot from below, looking up. A landscape-orientation would achieve the width with a standard lens like this photo. -- Colin (talk) 11:30, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I take it, the curvature in the walls is not real, and in that case, I'm not willing to consider supporting this photo unless the description specifically mentions that the curvature is inaccurate. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:14, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Ikan Kekek: Fisheye is used, written in description and Categorized. Real - what is real Ikan, you support down picture of huge PD correction, where chair become bench, circular pillar become ecliptycal, is that real ? You saw Jebulon comment there, he is right also. Diliff is using most PD corrected images, but thats the need to show it. @Colin i use correct lens in my situation, my space was much smaller and much more closed than other stairs you show. Camerman there had other kind of capturing, biger distance, more above, he collected one more upper stairs. My stairs are more centralized and better for fisheye, which was also used in first case of other camerman i show. Your option here is withot stairs, done by one who didnt had it, in that case good also, but main stuff was to get nice looking stairs. I did fine, red stairs with white back. Rectangle is a no-go here. --Mile (talk) 17:40, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment - Thanks for your response, Mile. But just so we're understanding each other, this is what I see in the file description: "Rococo staicase in Gruber Mansion (Ljubljana, Slovenia)." That's it. It's also mentioned that it's an HDR shot, but I don't see Fisheye in the description. I just think the viewer should have a clear, brief explanation of the technique you used. Once you add one in the file description, I will consider the photo. I consider photos individually, and there are different types and degrees of distortion that have different affects on me as a viewer. In this case, the curvature of the walls has a bit of a funhouse aspect to it, so I find an explanation more necessary than in some other situations. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:50, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't think you can claim a fisheye was necessary or correct, and how do you know Diliff's other staircase wasn't equally wide-angle. A fisheye is convenient for capturing, in one frame, an image that would require stitching with other lenses, but also introduces distortions that other techniques can avoid. You are right that a corrected ultra-wide can have unpleasant stretching, but then one must balance that with curved lines that may be a more disruptive distortion. I try to restrict my fisheye for images that are already curvy, or I can defish them with Lightroom or Photoshop. Have you tried defishing this? With lightroom, one merely applies the lens profile for the lens (or a similar one if yours isn't available). I think Poco has more experience using Photoshop. -- Colin (talk) 18:37, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
