Hi, I saw your comment about the architect of the House of Free Press (I expected the monument to be much older) and started a DR for that. A pity, though. Best, Poco² 20:18, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@Poco a poco: Si, es una lástima. Yo tenía una imagen del palacio parlamentario a Bucarest, y tenían que borrarla. Lo mismo con una placa conmemorativa a Brașov. Es dificil en Romania. -- Renardo la vulpo (talk) 09:55, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Windmill tower KKE, Soroni, Rodos

Thankyou. I think you have identified a camera fault since the spot (vignette) appears on other images taken with this old Panasonic. Best regards Notafly (talk) 12:14, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

@Notafly: You are welcome, glad if I could help. As a matter of fact I was unable to see the spot without increasing contrast by a factor of 10; so in my opinion it does not really do any harm. But I do not have a good eye for details; reviewers nearly always find fault with my pictures. BTW I am using a Panasonic, too, (TZ 61), and my conclusion is that pocket cameras just do not produce the quality required for a QI. What's your experience?

Have a fine day! -- Renardo la vulpo (talk) 15:13, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

All these photos were taken with compact cameras Quality Photographs by Notafly. Leica and Ricoh.The Panasonic has the same lens (maybe higher quality control) and I have the Panasonic equivalent of the D-lux and it is excellent.Because of the small sensor compacts are superb for close ups (high DOF) less good for buildings (small lens, perspective problems). More soon. Best regards Robert aka Notafly (talk) 16:54, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

@Notafly: Concerning your Windmill tower picture, you could crop the left part and re-submit it. – If you have any hints for me concerning my camera I certainly would appreciate them. Just as an instance, a couple of days ago I took Tivoli-Kraftwerk in München, 6.jpeg, in bright sunlight, so as to increase DoF and reduce axial CA; still it was judged as “not sharp enough”. Do you think using “aperture priority” rather than “shutter priority” would improve things? The picture was taken with f/4.1. -- Renardo la vulpo (talk) 21:18, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

The camera seems to have focused on the foreground rail not the building. Can you change to central focus on the

camera rather than the camera averaging the focus by choosing several points? I always use “aperture priority” except for snapshots usually a high aperture if the light is good. Sometimes I use a wide aperture so that the background is not sharp and the high shutter speed can eliminate blur (but one reviewer did not agree- he wanted the distance sharp).A tripod is best but mine is very heavy.

Here is the advice Hubertl gave to me

Use always the RAW versions, not JPGs out of the camera. There is a really big difference!

When focussing, take the spot meter. Otherwise the camera doesn´t know, which is the subject.

Use a tripod as often you can. I always work with a tripod, even a monopod is better. We both are not teenagers any more ;-)

Learn how to process your pictures. Use a software like Lightroom (if you can and will afford), but also Raw Therapee (free) or Darktable (also free, but only for Linux) can do a good work. Gimp is good for clearing some perspective problems. Every good photographer use some of this tools.

Don´t use any of the Creative Programs of your camera, Use the AV-Mode. You are the photographer, not the camera!! Try to control everything - the camera itself will do it wrong! Don´t belive your camera manufacturer in any case, whatever he say, its for idiots and not more than jakediyak blah blah.

The most important thing for a good picture is sharpness. Sharpness. Sharpness. Try to start with this.

Do some experiments with the same motif. You will understand it better during the postprocessing.

Get up early in the morning, the sky is clear, the light is much better. Avoid to make pictures with hazy environment until you know, how to handle it. Make pictures with a really clear blue sky. If you don´t have a blue sky, make close up images of houses or other objects. Or people - but only if they want it!

Read the f***ing Manual! Skip everything, were you find the word "automatic".

If you mean, that something might be a good subject, just take some time to understand it. Don´t rape the motif (I mean it)! Be respectful. ::::Sometimes I spent hours, even days to understand it. Especially architectural motifs. Take a walk, go farther, than closer. Get into the idea. And then, make your pictures. And make plenty of them and decide later, which represents the idea which makes this building interesting for you. Plenty pictures means eventually sometimes hundreds! From the same subject!

If you work manually, use ISO 100 or 200, 200/sec, f/8. If possible. And always try to have the sun in the back.

If this is not possible in the morning, try it on late afternoon.

Best regards Notafly (talk) 12:15, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Notafly (talk) 12:15, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

@Notafly: Thank you for that whole bunch of advice! I have Raw Therapee and GIMP on my Linux box and use the latter a lot – even if only for cropping and perspective, sometimes stitching. I already follow your hint about center focus vs. multi-focus because multi-focus has spoilt me a lot of pictures. Yet I do not understand how misfocussing could have affected my Tivoli picture since the “foreground rail” (I assume you mean the metal balustrade in front of the left building) is almost as far away as the building itself.

I took the liberty of indenting your text, and to put asterisks in a word I do not want on my discussion page. (In the present case I would prefer the word “fruitful”.) Thank you again. -- Renardo la vulpo (talk) 16:17, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Tried that windmill crop.What do you think? I can see why multi-focus is useful sometimes but it is prone to error. Like you I found out the hard way. I am using manual focus. Does your Panasonic have that option or focus lock. Keep getting comments on suboptimal lighting. In Ireland optimal lighting is 2-7 days a year.atb 20:57, 22 August 2016 (UTC)~

Just supported promotion of your windmill picture. You might want to change Widmill to Windmill in the description. I just noticed.

A bright blue sky is marvellous but “suboptimal lighting” is not necessarily a drawback. I have seen (and commented) pictures where part was in bright sunlight, with an ugly dark shadow extending over a significant part of the picture. In such a case overcast weather is better. -- Renardo la vulpo (talk) 22:12, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

GETTY IMAGES

hi, I have received your notice, I would say that the 'EERA author died in 1958, the license was right,, but for the event is for the logo from the problemmi you think,, no because I put in all the right information, paying attention to the slightest sign of infringement of copyright, you can say the problem? :)--Глинистый сланец (talk) 20:20, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

@Глинистый сланец: Hello Глинистый сланец,  Thank you. for getting back.

Говорю (очен) немного по-русски а не знаю если ты руский.

The problem is that you indicated that the picture was taken by Philipp Kester, who lived until 1958. While he lived he held the copyright for the photo. Afterwards there is a time of, in many countries (including Germany), 70 years when his heirs hold the copyright. This time is not yet over.

Maybe you want to take this discussion to the discussion page.

I shall be glad if the picture can be kept.
