I'm taking a few pictures with my Galaxy S20 FE and uploading them to be used on Commons and Wikipedia. What do you think about them?

I hardly process them, but I did use GIMP and darktable a few times. Definitely not a professional though.

Right, @Tetizeraz: these are not among the prettiest pictures. This page is intended for pictures that might go into one of the quality categories, and these don't have much hope for that. However, they can still be useful to illustrate articles.
  • The first, I see, already illustrates a transit station article. Humble, but useful.
  • The second might illustrate an article about its political topic, but of course that's a question for those who edit those political articles. I notice that its categories do not include geographic ones.
  • The third illustrates a building for which there is no article, but it can serve when it is needed. It could be improved by trimming the majority of the sky and parking lot, making the picture less tall.
  • As for the last, I don't know where it could be used. Perhaps it's because I don't understand the place.
Don't worry; most of our pictures are not now used in any article, nor have any known purpose at this time, but we don't know the future. Do try to get pictures that are relevant, or might become relevant, to a Wikipedia article or other use. Jim.henderson (talk) 12:52, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
Photos are very useful and quality is good. May not succeed at QIC due to imperfections but these images are unique enough that they may well succeed at COM:VIC. And certainly there's encyclopedia value so I would encourage you to keep contributing. Buidhe (talk) 02:06, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
