San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge and the fog
  •  Info created by Mbz1 - uploaded by Mbz1 - nominated by Mbz1 -- Mbz1 (talk) 20:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Last night, when I took the image nominated just below, Golden Gate Bridge was completely covered by fog. Today in the morning it showed up a little bit, so I went for more complete panorama of the scenery. I am not sure, which image you like better, if I should nominate this one as alternative to the nomination below or do not nominate this one at all. Of course the images are similar although the light and the fog were very different. In any case I am oppened to suggestions. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Here I would cut the right part which is not sharp, and keep the left part with the fog. That would make a quite different picture, which could be nominated independently of the one below. Yann (talk) 20:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How much you believe the right part should be cut off? Could you add a note please? Thanks.(I would not like to loose Bay Bridge). If it is really unsharp, maybe I should do another panorama from a different set of the images.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:12, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it is better to have a smaller image, but which is good everywhere, that a big image which is good on one part, and not so good on the other part. Yann (talk) 01:02, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your vote and your comment. The thing is that not only the light was different. What was more important to me that the fog was different. The idea was to capture a panorama from Golden Gate Bridge to Bay Bridge. The light between the bridges was changing rather drasticly. The scenery was really beautiful and I am sorry I could not capture that beauty with my camera.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah Daniel, I cannot tell tell you how much I missed you opposing and commenting on my images. I am glad you are back on them . I stitched the image with Adobe cs3. When I used Hugin the horizont looked better I guess, but... could you please take a look at the image and tell me what you think? I really like to get that panorama right, not even for FP for myself! Thank you for your vote, your comment and your time.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That is a step in the right direction. But honestly, I've said it so many times, users should be forced to learn about vertical guide point pairs in hugin. They should be strapped to a chair until they understand them an use them, they should be banned from uploading pictures until they mastered them (and they should be refused water, food and sunlight!). ;-). Seriously, guys, and girls, do not do it for me, do it for yourselves. Your images will be even better, you will save a lot of headaches, and ultimately you will save work!. Naaahhhrrggghhh! --Dschwen (talk) 20:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A step in the right direction, but still not good enough? :( "refused water, food and sunlight" !!! Now, it ia a torture! Of course it is not half as bad as being blocked or being banned from uploading pictures :) --Mbz1 (talk) 21:56, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Right. Not good enough, given how easy it is to get it right... ...using vertical guides. --Dschwen (talk) 21:58, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
P.S.: you seem to lack sky in the left and right ends of the picture. And you downsampled quite a bit. Why? --Dschwen (talk) 20:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
And you're asking why I downsampled the image??? Of course I did because I would not have liked User:Dschwen to be able to see all the stitching errors I have . To tell you the truth I did downsample it, but not so much. The thing is that I cannot open big images with my Internet explorer, which means I cannot check it myself.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:56, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Your what? --Dschwen (talk) 21:58, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You know, when you left click on an image and select "open with" and then from pop-up menu select "Internet Explorer". It provides me the view that I will see, when an image is actually uploaded. Am I doing something wrong again???--Mbz1 (talk) 22:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, I just didn't know that "image viewer". Are you already busy exploring the vertical guide point feature in hugin? ;-) --Dschwen (talk) 22:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not yet, you the meanest guy in the world, , I'm still trying to fix hard to see stitching error from my other image that I thought has been fixed already.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:38, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any better?--Mbz1 (talk) 12:51, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • This time it's a clear no. The downtown buildings (and the Bay Bridge) are still all leaning left. Use vertical guides on them! --Dschwen (talk) 13:13, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • But I did, I did.I mean I could bear no food, no water, no sunlight, I would not complain about being strapped to my chair, but you know I cannot bear being banned from uploading my images to Commons, don't you, Daniel? BTW it reminds me something. One diver said: "If I am going to run out of air or of film, let it be air." Anyway... I selected two the same images, and added two more points for the same building, one point was added to the top of the building and other to the bottom. Then I hit "add", and re-stitched the panorama. Have I done something wrong?--Mbz1 (talk) 13:51, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I hope you didn't withdraw the nomination for this one, too. I really like it, please let me know, when you uploaded the final version. --NEUROtiker ⇌ 20:18, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will not withdraw this one, It does not deppend on me anymore. Daniel is working with my images now, and I just emailed to him that his final result will be more his image than mine because he's the one, who is going to do all the hard work. It will be up to him what to do with the image and the nomination. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:24, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Stop being so gosh darn humble. You are making the rest of us feel bad ;-). Ok, I uploaded the new version over your file. I realized too late that you cropped off more on the right than me. But I am kind of in love with the warm glare there, and IMO it adds to the composition. The new version has the full resolution now, and the source material is worth it! Which working on the pano I got lost in the image and its details. Of course I  Support this. IMO the horizon is a straight as can be now. All buildings are vertical. The remaining bending is probably an illusion due to the curved appearance of the rolling fog. --Dschwen (talk) 22:52, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Great! I really love the trichotomy of the fog, the illuminated buildings on the hill and the city in the background shrouded by haze. And of course a good deal of the tribute has to be paid to the photographer. --NEUROtiker ⇌ 06:50, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

alt 1 cropped as Yann suggested[edit]

San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge and the fog

Okay I cut off the right. Did I cut off too much ot too little or just right? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:13, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly it seems that it is to me too, but I never could tell for sure . Could you please tell me what do you think about the original? Do you believe it is bowed there also? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 09:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
