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 15:08, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Sunset picture

Hello, Code. I'd like to nominate File:Sonnenuntergang am Kaisergebirge, Tirol, 160623, ako.jpg for FP, but I thought I'd ask you first whether you would consider it an FP and would support it if I nominate it. I find it special because it feels very peaceful and because we don't see the sun but see the sunlight scattered among the mountains and from behind the mountains, but if you don't think of it as an FP, I can nominate any number of other photos.

All the best,

Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:02, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, Ikan Kekek. It makes me very proud that you consider my picture FP and of course I'll be happy if you'd nominate it. Personally I think it's quite a good one because of the very pleasing light in the mountains. It shows a lot of different tones and intensities of light and has a great depth. However, I think we'd get a lot of "All sunsets are beautiful/yet another f*cking sunset"-opposes. But if you think it's worth a try, please, do so. --Code (talk) 13:07, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll probably nominate it later today.

Best,

I reworked it from the scratch and uploaded it again with maximum JPEG quality. The file now weighs nearly 50MB but there shouldn't be any posterization left. I also decreased the saturation a little bit. If you still see some artefacts at the top part of the picture they're caused by the extreme stretching of the equirectangular projection and don't occur when viewed in the panorama viewer. When reviewing again please make sure you have your cache purged (I don't really know why but the panellum viewer still seems to use the older version). --Code 16:23, 20 March 2017 (UTC) Comment The sky looks better. I still have some homework for you; some issues underneath the third arch, possible compression or processing problems. I made a note. Do you see it?--Peulle 21:50, 20 March 2017 (UTC) The picture was made from 16bit TIFF files without any compression and saved as maximum quality JPEG file without compression. I don't know which "homework" I should do now. There's nothing I could change. If you think this doesn't meet our standards then please decline. --Code 04:42, 21 March 2017 (UTC) Support No, I think it's good enough for QI. But if you have ambitions for the FP page, I think you should continue to try to improve the parts under the arches. Good luck. :)--Peulle 09:22, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Good explanation

Hi there! Awesome new photo at FPC and I really appreciated you giving us a "behind the scenes" explanation of the photo was made. I am currently trying to get together/expand/finish the guide for newbies here. I would like to add an edited version of your text + photo to the Stitching section to give people a hint about what is required to make such a great photo. Hope that's ok with you? --cart-Talk 08:37, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

@W.carter: You're welcome! Absolutely, of course. I'm working on a guide on 360° panorama stitching (German only for now) since a while but I didn't have much time to finish it in the last weeks. I'd like to share some more knowledge about panorama stitching and HDR techniques, maybe I can add some information to your guide if that's ok for you? I think sharing knowledge is a very important thing here on Commons (compared to Flickr, for example) and we all don't care enough about it. --Code (talk) 08:42, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! :) That guide is only a short "First Guide" to terms newbies may come across on QIC and FPC, and we try to keep it as short and general as possible but provide it with good links to more specialized pages. You are welcome to add to that page, there are many contributors to it, just keep the language simple and short so that people who are not proficient in English (or photographers) can understand it. But the best thing is if you work on your howto page, and I will link to it from the 'terms page'. Only German is no trouble since many users actually prefer that language, but a translation to English would be great too. :) --cart-Talk 08:55, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Fixed I've added a part to the Stitching section. I kept most of your language, just shortened some parts and fixed the grammar, hope that's ok. The link to your page is also added. Thanks again!

Noise

I didn't want to mention it on the FP, but the sky on both versions has more noise than I'd have left in. I would hope the HDR would greatly reduce your noise. I have tended to turn off sharpening (i.e. take the default 25 down to 0) when preparing the initial frames for export. That way, no extra noise is introduced to the sky that might get stretched. Then once the whole thing has been processed, and a suitably sized image re-exported to Lightroom, I apply the sharpening I need. And usually with enough mask to avoid sharpening the sky. I know a little noise can help prevent posterisation in the sky, but to my eyes it just looks like your sky has had its noise sharpened and the contrast enhanced. Another idea is to use a brush with negative sharpening and an auto-mask, to paint over the sky. The negative sharpening will not blur, but will reduce any global positive sharpening by simple maths subtraction.

I wish browsers would open up in the middle of an image when you view 100%, rather than the top left. In a stitched image, the top left is often stretched and the noise apparent, whereas the centre is full of sharp detail. -- Colin (talk) 19:09, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

@Colin: Well, noise is an everlasting mystery to me. It seems to appear randomly, regardless of which ISO speed you choose. For example, please have a look at this picture. It was taken using ISO 1.600 and you don't see any noise at all. On the other hand, any blue hour shot I did (as [:File:Reichstagsgebäude und Paul-Löbe-Haus, Berlin-Mitte, 170327, ako.jpg|this one]] (ISO 400) or this one has a certain amount of visible noise in the sky. I really don't get it. The problem is that if I apply noise reduction posterization appears very quickly. I really don't know what to do. For myself, I've decided not to complain about noise any more as long it isn't colour noise. I think a certain amount of noise is quite normal in digital photgraphy (more or less the same way we were used to accept grain in film photography). Diliff once told me that it might be better to accept some noise in the sky than to get large areas posterized. I agree with that. However, thanks for your advice regarding the sharpening. I will try it out next time. What do you think about the new verison of the File:Reichstagsgebäude und Paul-Löbe-Haus, Berlin-Mitte, 170327, ako.jpg I've just uploaded? I used masks to apply some noise reduction in the sky, I hope it's better now? Regarding size I think 50MPix should be enough. Yes, the overlap between the frames might be large but it has to be because the bottom part contains lots of "empty" areas (water) where PTGui wouldn't find any control points if the overlap was too small. --Code (talk) 08:11, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Synagoge

Hi. Hast du eigtl. schon einmal überlegt, dich um Erlaubnis für Innenfotos der Synagoge Oranienburger Str. zu bemühen?

@A.Savin: Ich habe die Synagoge in der Oranienburger Straße mal besichtigt, da lohnt sich das Fotografieren m.E. nicht. Innen ist sie nicht sehr spektakulär, der Bauzustand ist ein ganz anderer als auf den historischen Fotos. Ich hatte allerdings mal darüber nachgedacht, in der Rykestraße nachzufragen, die scheint innen extrem fotografierenswert zu sein. Bislang bin ich nicht dazu gekommen, vielleicht schaffe ich es ja gelegentlich noch. Falls die Gemeinde das überhaupt gestattet. --Code (talk) 14:47, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Comments It looks overprocessed to me (e.g. the horizon looks too sharpe) and there is a halo around the rock Poco a poco 19:23, 24 April 2017 (UTC) What you call "halo" is what happens when you have strong waves during a long exposure. And "looks overprocessed" is a strange comment, what should I do now in your opinion? However, I uploaded a new version without any sharpening. --Code 04:19, 25 April 2017 (UTC) Ok, frankly spoken to me it looks like if you created the composition out of pieces of different images. That's what I mean by overprocessed. It doesn't just look real to me, the transitions between the objects look to abrupt, not as I'd expect them. It would be though good to hear other opinions. Poco a poco 18:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC) @Poco a poco: Gosh, then please decline although I still don't get the point. Should I send you the RAW file? It's a single exposure and I didn't do much processing. Just some more contrast and vibrance, reducing the highlights, rising the shadows. I really don't understand what your problem is. --Code 04:09, 27 April 2017 (UTC)  Support I don't think this horizon is that different from this one.

Individueller Lizenzbaustein

Um es noch einmal hier auszuführen: Wenn man eine Vorlage auf Basis von {{Cc-by-layout}} erzeugen will, benötigt man einen noch zu erstellenden Text im Translatewiki. Im dortigen Portal:de findet man eine Übersicht über aktive Übersetzer, die man eventuell fragen könnte. Ich würde aber ernsthaft vorschlagen, selbst eine Vorlage in Deineme Userspace zu erstellen – über Namensgebung und wo, darüber bist Du völlig frei. Willst Du nur eine Vorlage, dann lege sie direkt unter User:Code an, zum Beispiel User:Code/Flickr-Relicense, willst Du eventuell mehrere Lizenzvorlagen, wäre ein Unterverzeichnis wohl besser, zum Beispiel User:Code/Lizenzen/Flickr-Relicense. Dann könnte man eine bestehende Lizenzvorlage verwenden und anpassen. Für die Übersetzung würde ich {{LangSwitch}} statt Translatewiki oder Autotranslate nehmen. Die Einbindung auf Dateibeschreibungen würde mit {{User:Code/(Lizenzen/)Flickr-Relicense}} erfolgen. — Speravir – 22:46, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

@Speravir: Vielen Dank für Deine Unterstützung. Wenn ich mal ein paar Stunden Zeit habe, werde ich mal einen Versuch wagen. --Code (talk) 04:43, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Ich habe mich einmal durch {{Cc-by-layout}}, {{CC-Layout}} und die Translatewiki-Texte gewühlt. Ich denke, darauf kannst Du aufbauen:

{| style="width:100%; clear:both; text-align:center; margin:0.5em auto; background-color:#f9f9f9; border:2px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 0; border-spacing: 8px;" class="layouttemplate licensetpl mw-content-{{#dir:{{int:lang}}}}" lang="{{int:lang}}" {{License template tag}}
|-
| style="width:90px;" rowspan="3" | [[File:CC some rights reserved.svg|90px|link=|Creative Commons license]]<br />[[File:Cc-by new white.svg|24px|link=|Creative Commons Attribution icon]]

  }}<!-- Ende LangSwitch -->
| style="width:90px;" rowspan="3" |
|-
| '''{{int:wm-license-cc-attribution|}}{{colon}}<span style="font-size: larger;" class="licensetpl_attr">[[User:Code|Ansgar Koreng]]</span>'''
|- style="text-align:{{#ifeq:{{#dir:{{int:lang}}}}|ltr|left|right}};"

:{{int:wm-license-cc-free}}
:*'''{{int:wm-license-cc-free-to-share-header}}''' – {{int:wm-license-cc-free-to-share-text}}

:{{int:wm-license-cc-conditions}}
:*'''{{int:wm-license-cc-conditions-attribution-header}}''' – {{int:wm-license-cc-conditions-attribution-text}}
|}

Du müsstest wohl nur noch den englischen bzw. deutschen Text innerhalb von {{LangSwitch}} anpassen, dort habe ich die Originaltexte unverändert übernommen, nur die Links korrigiert/angepasst. Die übrigen Translatewiki-Texte ({{int:wm-license-cc-…}}) habe ich sogar unangetastet gelassen. Wenn ich mir die anderen Lizenzvorlagen ansehe, müsste man dann noch etwas für die Kategorisierung der Dateien in CC2 und CC4 ergänzen, aber das ist kein größeres Problem. — Speravir – 22:00, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Und wie es aussieht, vgl. unter Special:PermaLink/289625793. — Speravir – 22:05, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

@Speravir: Siehe hier. --Code (talk) 04:53, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Wenn Du den Text doch nicht ändern willst, dann ist es aber besser, die originalen Strings zu nehmen: Alles, was zu LangSwitch gehört – ich hab es jetzt oben gelb markiert –, ersetzen durch

| {{int:wm-license-cc-by-2.0-text}}<br>{{int:wm-license-cc-by-4.0-text}}.

Außerdem habe ich die Kategorisierung ergänzt, vgl. Special:Diff/289990126 bzw. Special:Diff/289990446. — Speravir – 21:50, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Ich war dann mal nach einigen Tagen so frei, die Ersetzung vorzunehmen. — Speravir – 23:26, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

@Speravir: Danke. Ich bin momentan einfach wahnsinnig beschäftigt im real life... --Code (talk) 18:38, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

  • Your edit caused the file to enter the Files with no machine-readable license problem category. If a file does not have one of the official license templates, the system thinks that there is no license. Jcb (talk) 21:37, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
    • That didn't justify your revert at all. Machine-readable data are encouraged but they are nowhere mandatory at Commons. If I'm wrong, please show me the relevant guideline that prohibits a user from adding non-machine-readable licences. De728631 (talk) 00:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
      • I agree with De728631, it is not allowed to revoke other people's license grant. Jcb may add machine readable tags to the template if needed, but removing a valid license it not allowed. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:28, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Du solltest zwar eine Benachrichtigung erhalten haben, aber siehe Commons:Village pump#User custom license tags forbidden? @Jcb: Sorry, I noticed your answer here after publishing the message in VP. — Speravir – 23:48, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Für die Maschinenlesbarkeit braucht der Baustein offenbar eine bestimmte Span-Klasse für jede einzelne Lizenz. @Speravir: sieh dir doch mal Commons:Machine-readable data an. De728631 (talk) 00:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Danke, De728631! Ja, ich hatte schon so etwas in diese Richtung geahnt. Ich sehe mir das später noch genauer an. — Speravir – 01:01, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Code, tut mir leid, dass ich dich da so reingeritten habe. Gleichzeitig ärgert mich die Reaktion in der Village Pump. Für mich agieren da diverse Admins gegen die Commons-Policy – zumindest ist die sehr missverständlich geschrieben. Ich hatte allerdings auch nicht nachgesehen, eben weil schon seit Jahren so viele nutzerspezifische Lizenzen bisher anscheinend ohne Probleme existieren. — Speravir – 00:12, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Ich kam auf die Idee, File:Bundesverwaltungsgericht, Leipzig, 180222, ako.jpg mit dem Lizenzhinweisgenerator zu testen: Er ist leider überfordert damit. — Speravir – 21:42, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Earth 2018

Hallo Code,

im Namen von Organisationsteam und Jury danke ich Dir für Deine Teilnahme bei Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland.

Im Jahr 2018 wurden ebenso wie im Vorjahr etwa 24.000 Fotos hochgeladen, von denen viele die Artikel und Listen der Wikipedia illustrieren werden. Die Teilnehmerzahl lag diesmal bei 683, im Vorjahr waren es 1063.

Unsere Jury hat die Top100 der Bilder aus Deutschland ausgewählt. Die zehn bestplatzierten Fotos nehmen an der internationalen Ausscheidung teil.

Falls Du Lust auf einen weiteren Fotowettbewerb hast: Im September läuft Wiki Loves Monuments, wo Bilder von denkmalgeschützten Gebäuden eingereicht werden können.

Freundliche Grüße.

Hallo Code! Wir würden gerne dein Panorama vom Kaisergebirge für ein Grossformat-Ausdruck in einer Ausstellung verwenden, und dich deswegen gerne kontaktieren. Es geht vor allem darum, ob das Bild auch in grösserer Auflösung vorhanden ist - und natürlich dann auch um Rechte und Kosten. Bitte um kurze Antwort.

Besten Dank im Vorraus.

Image of Umberto Eco

Hi Code I noticed your call for more information on Commons Features Image Candidate I took a look in our photographoc database which contains slightly more information and metadata of the images. The original is a negative 24x36 mm (black & white) and it has been digitzed on a 2440x3667 pixels so a (original size) 20.70x31.00 cm @300 dpi print is possible.

Untill december 2015 we licenced our images with CC-BY. We decided then to downscale the license towards a CC0 waiver and changed our Dutch Nationaal Archief open data policy to this new situation: --Timmietovenaar (talk) 08:15, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@Timmietovenaar: Thank you very much for your kind reply. So would it be correct to change the license tag from CC BY to CC Zero now? --Code (talk) 18:30, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

That would be correct (and I just did) --Timmietovenaar (talk) 07:49, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Unbekannte Muschel

Hallo Code, danke für Deine Anfrage. Da es sehr viele ähnliche Schneckengehäuse (das Bild zeigt eine Schnecke, keine Muschel) gibt, lassen sich sich viele Arten nur bestimmen, wenn der Fundort einigermaßen bekannt ist, auch die Größe wäre wichtig. Gibt es darüber Infos? Auch eine "Mündungsansicht" (das ist die Ansicht, die meine Bilder jeweils in der Ansicht rechts oben zeigen) wäre ganz hilfreich. Ich kann daher nichts endgültiges sagen. Vom generellen Aussehen her würde ich das Gehäuse zu den Bucciniden stellen. Vergleiche das Gehäuse mal mit den Bildern auf dieser Seite (falls nur wenige Bilder zu sehen sind, in der Überschrift das große "ThumbNails" anklicken). Schau mal hier besonders auf die Siphonalia-Arten, die kommen dem ziemlich nahe. Falls Du noch mehr Infos über das Gehäuse hast, lass es mich bitte wissen, vielleicht kommen wir dann weiter. --Llez (talk) 08:35, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

@Llez: Vielen Dank für Deine schnelle Antwort. Die Mündungsansicht habe ich hier hochgeladen. Den genauen Fundort weiß ich gar nicht, ich habe das zuhause beim Entrümpeln gefunden. Meine Umfrage ist noch nicht abgeschlossen, sie müsste wohl aber eher aus Europa stammen. Ich habe mal versucht, die Muschel mit denen von der Website, die Du verlinkt hast, zu vergleichen, aber für einen Laien wie mich ist es extrem schwer, hier die relevaten Merkmale auszumachen. Mir war nicht bewusst, dass es eine derartige Vielfalt an Muscheln gibt. --Code (talk) 07:40, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm wishing you all the best for the New Year and I hope you're going to have many memorable photo opportunities in 2019. With 2018 coming to an end, it's time to look back at the past 12 months. I'm curious – what would you consider your best shot of 2018 and why?

Schön, dass dein Bild des Leuchtturms es in die zweite Runde geschafft hat. Ich fand die Bilderserie von deinem Urlaub schon auf Flickr sehr beeindruckend. Umso mehr freue ich mich jetzt, dass deine Aufnahme zu den Finalisten gehört. Ich drücke dir die Daumen, dass das Foto auch weit vorne landet. Ganz herzliche Grüße aus Mill Valley, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:08, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

@Frank Schulenburg: Danke, Frank! Wie ich gesehen habe, ist auch Dein wunderbares Bild der Golden Gate Bridge in die Endrunde gekommen. Überhaupt gefallen mir die Finalisten diesmal ausnehmend gut. Viele Grüße! a.

Ja, ich hab diesmal zum ersten Mal zwei Bilder in der letzten Runde. Das andere Bild von der Golden Gate Bridge fand ich allerdings besser. Naja, ich will mich aber mal nicht beschweren ;-) Und ja, die allgemeine Qualität finde ich auch sehr gut. Ich habe ohnehin den Eindruck, dass wir, was die Qualität der Featured Pictures angeht, über die Jahre zugelegt haben. Ohne aber den jeweiligen Trends nachzulaufen (extreme Farbsättigung usw.) Gerade letzteres fällt mir auf Instagram gerade sehr auf den Wecker. Grüße, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:21, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Earth 2019

Hallo Code,

vom 1. bis 31. Mai 2019 kannst Du wieder beim Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland (WLE 2019) teilnehmen. Gesucht sind selbst aufgenommene Landschafts- und Naturfotos aus Schutzgebieten in Deutschland.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg kann diese Übersichtsseite dienen.

WLE 2019 kann nur durchgeführt werden, wenn weitere Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen unser Team verstärken. Es geht unter anderem um die Organisation in der Wikipedia und das Sortieren der Bilder auf Commons. Über Art und Umfang der Beteiligung entscheidest Du selbst.

Wie in den Vorjahren übernimmt eine Vorjury ab Anfang Mai die Vorauswahl der Bilder. Auch daran kannst Du Dich gern beteiligen. Bei Interesse trage Dich bitte unter WLE-Vorjury ein, das Passwort kommt per E-Mail.

Besonders engagierte Freiwillige werden für die Jury benötigt. Wenn Du vom 12. bis 14. Juli in Fulda die besten Bilder küren willst, melde Dich auf der Jury-Seite.

Wir wünschen viel Freude beim Fotografieren,

--GPSLeo (talk) (im Auftrag des Organisationsteams) 17:00, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi, regarding your undo of my edition I think that "Germany photographs" refers to photographs taken in Germany, no matter the subject of the photograph. I'm distributing all the photographs contained in Photographs taken on 2018-07-28 in subcategories of the countries where the works were made, so that's why I think your work should be with the other photographs taken in Germany that day. Regards, Frodar (talk) 06:55, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

@Frodar: Well, thanks for your message and your efforts but I disagree. Besides the fact that I don't see any use of these "XXX photographs" categories at all they are especially senseless when the subject shown isn't at all related to a particular country. The shell comes from the ocean and was found in Denmark. How do you know at all that I've taken this photograph in Germany? And who cares? There is much more important work to do than filling up such categories that become (if they aren't already) completely useless as soon as we have structured data here on Commons. --Code (talk) 08:22, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2019

Hallo Code,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2019 findet zum neunten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Dabei können Bau- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Es sind viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu fotografieren. Neben beeindruckenden märchenhaften Schlössern, Burgen und Kirchen können auch andere Kulturdenkmale wie Brücken, Industrieruinen, Bauernhöfe oder Parks fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden, die sich über Fotos freuen. Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Du bist interessiert, am Wettbewerb mitzuwirken, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art. Sollte noch Technik fehlen, die aber in Zukunft unbedingt benötigt wird, dann freut sich Wikimedia Deutschland über dein Feedback zum Technikpool.

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Mitte September 2019 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg bei größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z thomas 14:28, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Foto vom Potsdamer Platz

Sehr geehrter Herr Koreng,

ich habe Ihr Bild in einem Vortrag verwendet, den ich heute auf Youtube veröffentlicht habe. Ihr Name und die Lizenz sin im Vortrag eingeblendet. Da ich keinen Hyperlionk in den Clip einsetzen konnte (das erlaubt Youtube nicht mehr), hab ich den Link in der Beschreibung des Videos aufgeführt. Ich hoffe, ich habe das soweit richtig gemacht und möchte Sie freundlich bitten, das einmal kurz zu überprüfen. Das Video finden Sie hier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWStNUXXnVs , das Bild taucht von 31:27 bis 32:32 auf. Über Ihre Rückmeldung würde mich sehr freuen. Vielleicht können Sie mit diese auch per Mail schicken schmidt@bauhandkunstwerk.de, nur zur Sicherheit, denn diese Commons-Seite verwirrt mich ziemlich und ich weiß nicht, ob ich von hier eine Meldung bekomme, wenn ich nicht eingeloggt bin.

Wiki Loves Earth 2020

Hallo Code,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. Mai bis zum 30. Juni 2020 findet zum achten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth statt. Deutschland ist zum siebten Mal dabei. Dabei können unter anderem Nationalparks, Naturschutzgebiete, Geotope und Naturdenkmäler fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

• Sieger WLE 2019
• 
  Hessigheimer Felsengärten
• 
  Silberteich im Harz
• 
  Nationalpark Jasmund

Dieses Jahr ist es aufgrund der Ausgangsbeschränkungen schwieriger aktuelle Fotos zu machen, deshalb läuft der Wettbwerb dieses Mal zwei Monate. Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben Naturdenkmälern wie alten Bäumen oder Naturparks im Gebirge und am Meer können Geotope wie Quellen und Aufschlüsse oder FFH-Gebiete fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche neue Listen und Artikel in diesen Bereichen entstanden, für die wir uns über Fotos freuen. Als Einstieg für die Suche nach Motiven hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du hier und vor allem unter dieser Anleitung. Falls du im Moment nicht wie sonst in die Natur fahren kannst, findest du vielleicht in den Tiefen deiner Festplatte oder auf dem Smartphone noch interessante Fotos.

Du möchtest am Wettbewerb teilnehmen, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art. Sollte noch Technik fehlen, die deiner Meinung nach angeschafft werden sollte, freut sich Wikimedia Deutschland über dein Feedback zum Technikpool.

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, vom 1. Mai bis 31. Juli 2020 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im August tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Earth 2020 in Deutschland.

Teilnehmende für Forschungsstudie gesucht

Hallo @Code:

ich schreibe dich an, da ich wir momentan explizit Menschen suchen, die sehr aktiv in Wikimedia Commons sind, um guten Input für ein Forschungsprojekt zu geben.

Für ein aktuelles Forschungsprojekt suchen wir aktive Community-Mitglieder in Wikipedia, Wikidata und Wikimedia Commons, die Lust haben eine Umfrage auszufüllen und an einem Interview teilzunehmen. Ziel der Forschung ist es Mitmachmöglichkeiten und Zugangswege für neue Ehrenamtliche in den Wikimedia-Projekten zu identifizieren. Dazu möchten wir von den Erfahrungen der bereits aktiven Community-Mitglieder lernen und Erfolgsfaktoren für die Beteiligung in den Projekten herausfinden. Die Teilnahme umfasst das Ausfüllen einer Vorab-Umfrage, eine Selbststudie und ein Interview.

’’’Bei Interesse an einer Teilnahme fülle einfach diese Umfrage aus.’’’ Die Teilnehmenden an den Interviews werden auf Basis der Antworten ausgewählt, um möglichst viele, unterschiedliche Perspektiven berücksichtigen zu können.

Alle ausgewählten Interviewpartnerinnen und Interviewpartner erhalten als Dankeschön einen Buch- oder Fotogutschein i. H. v. 25 Euro.

Leite diesen Aufruf auch gerne an andere Menschen weiter, von denen du denkst, dass sie interessante Erfahrungen zu Commons teilen können. Bei Nachfragen kannst du dich natürlich gerne an mich wenden oder auf der Projektseite nachfragen :) Auf der Projektseite  findest du auch weitere Informationen.

Viele Grüße --Merle von Wittich (WMDE) (talk) 10:27, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:

• I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
• Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
• Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.

Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:40, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

We'll also discuss photographers’ contacts with the Wikimedia Foundation and the election of representatives for our user group. You'll find information about all of this on the event page:

• Virtual Meeting on September 26, 2020

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.

Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.

If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:

• Virtual Meeting on March 20, 2020

Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:

• Questions for Ben

I'm very much looking forward to this event and I hope you'll be able to join.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:27, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Invitation as guest speaker to Episode 2 of WikiAfrica Hour

Dear Ansgar Koreng,

I hope this meets you well.

My name is Ceslause Ogbonnaya, from Wiki In Africa. I already sent you a mail via the Email this user feature, but thought it'ld be nice to contact you here too.

Last month we launched the WikiAfrica Hour with our first ever episode featuring outgoing Wikimedia Foundation CEO, Katherine Maher. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyG_DCysivx59E2olI_BEcQ

We started WikiAfrica Hour, a monthly vodcast, to build the community of Wikimedians across Africa by: 1. Interacting with guest(s) and ask questions from the context of and relating to African Wikimedians; 2. Providing a platform for Wikimedians to discuss topics, issues, projects and collaborations to promote synergy and more advanced knowledge within the Wiki communities across Africa, and 3. Sharing current updates, and highlights of Africa Wikimedians activities undertaken by Africa Wikimedians with the African audience, and those globally who are interested.

For the next WikiAfrica Hour, we would like to discuss the role photography plays within a Wikimedia context. With this in mind, and given your experience, I would like to invite you as a special guest speaker on this 2nd episode of WikiAfrica Hour. This episode is slated for 28st May 2021 at 4pm UTC.

Wiki Loves Africa has just finished. Wiki Loves Earth has launched. African Wikimedians are enthusiastic participants, but Wikimedia Commons and the photography world are complex sectors. We would like the WikiAfrica Hour discussion to provide insight into how Wikimedia Commons works ‘behind the scenes’.

Your involvement in the Commons Photographers UserGroup is the reason why I am contacting you. African Wikimedians are probably not aware of the photography user group, and would benefit immensely to hear about its goals and the benefits of being a member.

The vodcast is run live using StreamYard, with the support of Andrew Lih from the Wikipedia Weekly Team. WikiAfrica Hour is a live broadcast and will be simulcast on the Wiki in Africa YouTube and Facebook channels, as well as Wikipedia Weekly YouTube and Facebook channels. The episode will remain for reviewing on both YouTube channels.

I look forward to hearing from you, and you confirming your availability. Please let us know if 28 May 2021 at 4pm UTC is convenient.

Regards,

Ceslause Ogbonnaya

Edifice-Bild

Hallo Ansgar (oder sollte ich sagen 'Code'), Dein Bild File:Casio Edifice WR100M, 1811051918, ako.jpg ist wirklich beeindruckend, die Technik mit Helicon ist auch interessant, werd ich mir mal ansehen. Ich schreib Dir das, weil ich weiß dass man selbst für wirklich beeindruckende professionelle Arbeit (egal was, ob Fotos oder Photoshop/GIMP-Montagen oder Beschreibungs-Verbesserungen etc.) hier viel zu selten Feedback bekommt. Viele Grüße, Pittigrilli (talk) 08:59, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Vielen Dank für die freundlichen Worte! Helicon ist ein hervorragendes Tool, allerdings leider nicht ganz billig. Code (talk) 09:10, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

You're invited to provide input…

Dear fellow member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

At our last meeting end of August, we talked about getting in touch with the Wikimedia Foundation and offering our help for improving Wikimedia Commons. Today, I invite you to provide your input on a draft open letter to the Foundation. Over the course of the next ten days, we'll further improve the text together, before inviting people to sign it. If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.

In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Question from the CPUG Board

Dear user group member,

I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.

With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.

That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.

However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:

Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022

We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.

Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
