May it is desire at the background, but less at the car. --Beyond silence 21:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is motion blur, it was intended to be like that. I actually think the cone fits where it is. Well try again? Such a picture is not so easy to try again...to see a Formula 1 safety car like this is a rare opportunity. And if you have the opportunity it is not a picture you can make several times until you have a nice one. Anyway thanks for your comment. --AngMoKio 10:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How do you get motion blur on the back of the car but not on the front of the car? What camera settings did you use? And yes, I certainly do know what you mean about not being able to try some photos over again.  :-) Cheers, Ben Aveling 12:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
f/8, 1/80s. The fact that the motion blur is only on the front has to do with the fact that you draw a half circle when you move the camera with the car - so the movement of the camera only fits to a certain part of the car. It is a bit difficult to explain. --AngMoKio 14:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see. The amount of rotation required depends on the ratio between the speed of the car, its distance from you, and the exposure time. The speed and exposure time are the same for all the bits of the car but the distance from the camera differs by a significant amount, relative to your distance from the car, so the different parts would require a different rotation not to be blurred. That makes sense. I'd support this picture for QI. Given the circumstances, you probably did as well as could be done. But for reasons as per the above, it still falls short of FP for me. Better luck next time. Ben Aveling 01:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info Some additional info - this pic is used on 10 other Wikimedia projects (oddly enough, not on the English Wikipedia) and from what I've seen in print media at least, is one of the iconic photos of MacArthur.

Version 2, not featured[edit]

 Info A edit by User wau--Richard Bartz 23:47, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Nice idea, but for me this new arrangement withdraws the dynamic/tension of the golden section away. It looks slight dull that way. A very nice and artistic thing on the original version is the space, which lets the object breath, plus makes the composition very surrealistic in my eyes --Richard Bartz 23:47, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Now, there is a unfortunate gradient on the left side of the background, could you fix that, please? Regards --Richard Bartz 00:29, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Une règle photographique conseille de ne pas centrer le sujet pour garder une dynamique! Voluntarily not centered to see why here:Rule of Thirds ;) --Luc Viatour 07:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I thought about the rule of third before my edit. But the rule does not speak about a plant leaning outwards to the edge of the picture. There is no clear movement or orientation to the right side (the drops at the right side of the plant are not little faces looking to the right, but act as lenses throwing light from behind to your eyes), the plant leans towards the left outside of the picture which lets me think of "The subject should not be facing out of the image". This is why I would place it a bit more to the center with a proporton of the left and right background of about 1/3 to 2/3 (about 1/4 to 3/4 in your picture). I would agree to your composition, if after starting to the left side the upper part of the plant would curve back to the right or if there were another small object like a fly at the right side as a counterweight. --wau > 20:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I like that you had the courage, trying to improve this picture. --Richard Bartz 20:47, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes there is what to discuss, thanks for trying to improve my photograph. Your version is also pretty;) ;) --Luc Viatour 08:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment It is indeed fairly simple. The tricky part was finding a copyrighted drawing of this circuit (which is important in the history of computing) in a 25 year old journal. --Gerry Ashton 18:13, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • But even on the well made I have second thoughts after scrutinizing your image: letters are not aligned, nor equally spaced (e.g. +VE and -VE symbols). Lycaon 18:30, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The less-than-ideal appearance of the subscripts is an artifact of whatever software Wikimedia uses to display images. They look find in Inkscape. The non-alignment of +VE and -VE is my aesthetic decision; I chose to put them in the center of the horizontal lines they are connected to. (I have made some slight alignment improvements as a result of Lycaon's comments, but they are barely noticeable when using the Wikimedia SVG viewing software.) --Gerry Ashton 19:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Question What are the two blobs under not(F.C) which is visible on the thumbnail here and with "Eye of GNOME 2.16.1" on Linux (although not visible in inkscape) and why is the negation bar above F=not(A+B) not evenly over both the A and B characters? --Tony Wills 10:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The blobs are artifacts of the SVG rendering software used by Wikimedia and so is the unevenness of the negation bar over F=not (A+B). Indeed, an earlier version that accidentally had a negation bar that was too long showed the bar in the thumbnail, but in a large rendering the bar was completely invisible! (Pun intended.) --Gerry Ashton 12:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Bar is too short when downloaded and viewed with inkscape (well actually not too short, just starts too soon). Blobs are also visible on downloaded copy when viewed with "Eye of GNOME 2.16.1" so there is something there that two different programs render as blobs. :-) --Tony Wills 02:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No blobs in Firefox for Windows XP 2.0.0.6. Bar is a matter of taste, but looks much better than as rendered by Wikimedia software. --Gerry Ashton 01:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Yes, the gradient is natural and I have no problem with that. I am talking about how there are uneven bands in the gradient as a result of stitching, and those can be fixed. To see it best, zoom into the sky and scroll back and forth. --Digon3 talk 21:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info Roesel's bush-cricket (Metrioptera roeseli) which is 15mm or half an inch in size is a European bush-cricket, named after August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof, a German entomologist. 1749 he wrote in a description: „§ 10. Da diese Thiere sehr bösartig sind; so hat man sich in Acht zu nehmen, wenn man sie fangen will: dann sie pflegen wo sie die blose Haut finden, so scharf zu beissen, daß so gleich das Blut darnach gehet. Zur gleichen Zeit flüsset auch aus ihrem Mund ein brauner Safft, welcher nichts anders ist, als die in dem vordern Schlund in eine flüßige Materie verwandelte Speise. Daß aber ihr Bis mit ziemlicher Gewalt geschehe, erhellet daraus, daß man sie in den Hut beissen lässet und selbigen zur gleichen Zeit wegziehet, der Kopf mit dem Schlund an dem Hut allezeit hangen bleibet, und von dem übrigen Körper los gerissen wird.
    I try a short translation :) Because of the badness of this animals you have to take care if you want to catch them, because if they find plain skin, they bite as hard as possible, until the blood will rinse. At the same time there will be a brown liquid comes out of their mouth, which is nothing else than fluidified transformed food. You have to take care about your hat if they stifle onto it, because of the strong impact of the bite the head will seperate from the body if you try to pull it away.

I'm not sure if the picture can be uploaded again, but you could just put in the data about the shutter speed, focal length and aperture into the image description page. Maybe the focus issues were unavoidable, but I still feel that your other FP's are a lot better. They seem to have better colors, composition. You are much better at taking pictures of smaller insects than that :) Freedom to share 09:37, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, this insect is very small, its half size smaller than my last Hornet, maybe you should compare it with this picture. The blurry area on the lower body of the grasshopper is caused by breathing, because he whistles --Richard Bartz 11:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info created, uploaded and nominated by myself Dori | Talk 15:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I took this picture from the window of a moving car. No other good way of taking it without endangering yourself or the other cars as the road is pretty narrow and you can't always see the cars coming. At the very bottom of the picture you can see part of the road and a car. I didn't crop that out in this version to give a better idea of the scale. Dori | Talk 15:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The contrast is better than the other similar picture in Wikimedia Commons, and the picture is useful for someone contemplating a visit to the area. --Gerry Ashton 03:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I would recommend cropping the road out of the picture. Freedom to share 16:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the comment. I felt that it would detract from the image as you then don't get a good feel of scale. The road is way at the bottom so I don't think it's distracting. Dori | Talk 17:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The hill on the left unbalances the image to much for me. Surely it could be retaken with better composition. -Fcb981 17:04, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    You can take another picture, but you'd have to fly in front of the mountain or have a big enough telezoom lens to take from another mountain. I have another image of the mountain here showing the winding road. Besides, I actually like the intersecting slopes, I guess it's a matter of preference. Dori | Talk 17:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Considering that this is @ 24mm I doubt that you would need much of a telephoto to take it from another mountain. I've taken pictures of mountains many miles away with a midrange zoom. There is a hill on the right visable in both pictures. maybe you could have hiked over there. -Fcb981 11:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was generally spoken, WTF a regular polling template, as a exclamation of astonishment, absolutely not personal or against a person. So in that context i think its not unpolite.--Richard Bartz 15:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I will not argue more on this case. Just wanted to bring your attention on that point. On the french featured picture candidates page, the "value" criteria is stated as "utilité" (usefullness). This rule says : "Beau" ne veut pas dire "utile" wich seems quite clear to me, but not to everyone. I first thought the FP images should have a kind of encyclopedic value, but after observing the fp nomination process during a few weeks i concluded it is rather a way of building a collection of beautiful and technically perfect photos, constituted by a small team of devoted users. I am sorry to say so, but you should have the honesty to recognize that. My opinion is that commons has a real problem with values. And as all opinion it must be respected even if you don't want to think about it.Benwik 15:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thats democracy, I can live with it. The value can seen here, here, here, here and here. I think this picture illustrates the articles very excellent. Usage can be a value, too --Richard Bartz 15:15, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In 1997, Gates appears via satellite during a Jobs talk. The New York Times was unable to get a photographer into this 2007 event so The NYT online ran this picture.

  •  Info Iam very disapointed about the progress on this picture above, but . . . I dont give up :) I strongly believe that the head with the claws mighty jaws are the most interesting element on this insect. Shots like this on a insect with 10mm or less than half an inch in size, taken biaswise are the most difficult things in macro photography. Did you knew that in the strict sense macro photography starts with a magnification greater than 1:1? If any User find a similar picture (with the same image-resolution, insect-size and magnification) i will tell this user all my evil and mean macro-freak hints per email :) PS.

More space would make this picture useless in articles because they often revertet my pictures with the reason that picture with a lot unused space in the background wastes too much space in the article.

  •  Comment I'm not crazy about the pic because of the stuff in the background and the water bottle, but I think automatically throwing out a picture because it's 1.92 Mpx instead of 2.00 Mpx is plain silly. I mean, seriously - 0.08 megapixels???? Soljaguar, you should just photoshop this baby up to 1633x1225 (keeps everything in proportion) and let the pic be judged on merit rather than petty technicalities.

  •  Comment On the basis of recent votes here, upscaling is one thing that will definitely disqualify a picture. The way to get around the minimum size guideline is for the contributor to upload a version at higher resolution. The probable reason this one is so small it's that it's been downsampled, which many voters here don't approve of unless it's done for a technical (as opposed to a commercial) reason. --MichaelMaggs 17:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:MontBlanc2c.jpg, featured[edit]

  •  Info it's easy :) there is a cable car which takes you to the top of the Aiguille du Midi from the city of Chamonix. This cable car stops at 2 stations, and you of course have to go to the top one where you'll find an elevator to the very top platform from where this picture was taken. The platform is panoramic (360°), and offers a great view over the valley of Chamonix and Mont Blanc massif. Benh 20:05, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you like fun, there are plenty of opportunities in the valley of Chamonix :), the best ones for photographers being to me some nice footpath for hiking, which was why I was there. (Unfortunately, I didn't have great weather for photos :( ) Benh 09:39, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, and one last question: What lens, focal length, exposure time and aperture did you use? Thanks, Freedom to share 12:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't take this picture (I'd have loved to :)) But my friend and I use exactly the same equipment : Canon EOS 400D with EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS, a tripod, and Canon RC-1 remote control. All pictures were taken at 17mm, f/8.0, 1/400s and ISO 100 (most important thing here being the small aperture for shallow DOF). Benh 14:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • And you stitched them using Photoshop CS3? I myself have an EOS 350D, but I am still playing around with the 18-55 kit lens (which is not a bad wide angle lens) and am planning to upload some of my pictures to commons later on when I take better ones. Any advice on mountain and landscape photography? And also, what do you need the remote release for? Is it not just cheaper to make it shoot after 10 sec and it will not experience any shake either if put on a tripod? :) Freedom to share 20:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, I stitched them using hugin, a cross-platform open source panorama photo stitching program. A problem with mountain photography is the speed of clouds: with the remote control you can shoot quickly without any shake and then you can stich photographs without photoshoping them.

  •  Info created, uploaded and nominated by Benh
  •  Info Similar to the nomination of Mont-Blanc below, and taken at same time. This one is not as impressive and sharp, but it has a slightly different mood because of the flare from the sun and shows what can be seen from the other side of the top platform of Aiguille du Midi. Benh 23:52, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think it's good enough material for FP and hope you agree :) -- Benh 23:52, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Too overexposed and washed out. Dori | Talk 01:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support, the right part is effectevly washed out, but I would not say that this overexposed. One can say that the left part is underexposed. In mountain specially with snow and high altitude, the light is rough and when you shot for a panoarama like this one, you have to find the right compromise. Romary 11:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Very nice picture, but some part at near middle is looks bad because of light. --Beyond silence 12:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment, The picture is clearly very bright on the right side. As Romary said, I had to find some compromise. When taking several pictures that are to be stitched together, I have to keep the same settings. This panorama has both bright and dark areas, so my settings which were good for the central part of it are inappropriate for the right side. Here I gave priority to the mood (lighting wouldn't have let me catch many details anyways), which is why I included the sun and the haze around it on the frame. Benh 14:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Did you use a lens hood? It could have helped a bit. Also, you can expose two stitched shots differently as long as the histograms are similar. If you use Photoshop for stitching, it is not too unforgiving. :) Freedom to share 20:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure it would have helped me because I included the sun in the frame (you don't see it entirely because of the crop, but it was there). I wanted the flare (but not so much "haze") but apparently it seems not to the taste of everyone :'( Benh 21:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice from Côte d'Azur Observatory

Agree about the noise, sharpness. Do not consider the picture being too dark — what parts of the image you would want to see but are unable to do so because of darkness? It is a panorama, and now I consider to reduce the resolution by factor of 2 (5000×2400 → 2500×1200), as I think this would not hurt anyone. --Misha Stepanov 19:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is too dark (you can maybe fix this with photoshop) when you compare it to other panoramic Featured Pictures, and the there is also vigetting (the sky is light on on side, dark in the middle, and then light on the other). The vigetting probably can be fixed with stitching and the darkness is probably due to the fact that this was taken in early morning. --Digon3 talk 13:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I tried to remove vignetting. The picture was taken during evening (see the shadows from the buildings, left to right is east to west here). --Misha Stepanov 22:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Short description

  • I think you are right. But I don't think it's that overexposed (that said, it's true it looks brighter at work than at home, may depend on monitor calibration, I'll check mine tonight) and I had to get a compromise with the background. Also, light was coming from behind, so snow was very bright and I believe the picture is true to what I saw. Benh 11:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I personal find this version much better. The bright snow is not so dominant, the format of the picture suits better, and dark shadow areas of the right mountains are bringing more contrast to the picture. No doubt, i would support it. --Simonizer 10:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Courtyard of Museum of Louvre

  • I don't see any tilt. Can you point the "litigious area", I just want to correct if there's an error, no argument here :). Maybe you are talking about the not horizontal line of the building in the back ? Because this is caused by the projection used (equirectangular here). Benh 18:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a very slight tilt or appearance of tilt from that building in the background (with GIMP I measured it at 0.26 degrees :), it's the ghosts that bother me the most though as they're numerous and throughout the picture. Dori | Talk 23:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Une comparaison pas très juste ;) Actually, I felt into serious photography after having seen a Sydney harbour pano of Diliff. About my picture,I feel it's still sharp on right, so I'm a bit surprised ?? Maybe I'll try to get another shot of this with my new lens and at a more appropriate time. Hopefully, this will fix the issues mentionned above. Thanks for your encouraging comment by the way ! Benh 18:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, the composition is so superb that I can only support.
