Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2015 is open!

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Laitche/Archive,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2015) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.

Thanks,
-- Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 09:44, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign for User:The Photographer

Please excuse me spamming you. As a regular on Feature Picture Candidatess you will recognise User:The Photographer, who has 86 Featured Pictures. His contributions cover the architecture and culture of Brazil and Venezuela. He has basic photographic equipment: an old D300 camera and 35mm lens, and lives in a poor country where photographic equipment is expensive. The Photographer has recently taken several images using the technique where multiple frames are stitched together to create a high-resolution panorama. However, many times frustrated with the stitching errors that result from trying to take such photos without a proper panoramic head for his tripod. This special equipment permits the camera to be rotated around the entrance pupil of the lens, and eliminates such errors. Having a panoramic head would greatly increase the potential for The Photographer to create sharp high-resolution images for Commons. In addition, the purchase of a fisheye lens would enable 180 × 360° panoramas to be taken, which are a great way to explore a scene as though one is really there.

Please see the discussion about the Crowd-funding campaign on User talk:The Photographer#Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign and visit the Generosity Crowd-funding Campaign page to consider donating. Even a modest donation will make a difference if many people contribute. Thanks. -- Colin (talk) 13:25, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

カワセミの画像について

Laitcheさんはじめまして。早速ですがFile:Common kingfisher, October 2015, Osaka II.jpgのようなカワセミの複数の画像は野生のものを撮影されたものでしょうか。もしそうであればCategory:Alcedo atthis of Japan‎の下位カテゴリへ移動し、日本語版の記事で使用したいのです。当方には大阪の土地勘がなく天王寺公園にはどうやら動物園もあるようなのでよくわかりません。自分はカワセミに興味があるわけじゃないんですが、記事中では全ての画像を消すような無理やりな編集を行う方が出ておりこの際、記事中の画像過多状態を解消しつつ、なるべく日本で撮影されたカワセミ画像で亜種の混在状態などを改善したいと考えています。--Batholith (talk) 12:15, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

@Batholith: 天王寺公園の撮影場所の近くに動物園はありますがアップロードしている複数の画像はすべて野生のものです。動物園で撮影したものではありません。画像はどれでも、ご自由にお使いください。カテゴリーも適切なところに移動してください。 --Laitche (talk) 12:44, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Some holiday joy

Since 1959, it is a Swedish tradition to (at 3 pm) watch Donald Duck and other Disney cartoons on TV. The most appreciated part is about Donald as bird photographer in Clown of the Jungle. I think most users at FPC can relate to the frustrated Donald (especially the parrot scene), which is why I'm sharing it with you. Happy Holiday! --cart-Talk 15:03, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
