- Question What lens is this! --Hubertl (talk) 04:36, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hubertl, according to the EXIF, it is AF DC-Nikkor 135mm f/2D. -- Colin (talk) 09:39, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks, I did´nt even know, that a glass like this even exists! Want have! Seems even better than my 100mm f/2.8, especially for this occasions! --Hubertl (talk) 10:46, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Indeed. Impressive. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:13, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Hubertl it will not fit on your Canon though :-)) --P e z i (talk) 18:46, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Since today I know, Canon has a similar one! ;-) --Hubertl (talk) 19:04, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Yes the Nikon 135mm f2 DC, Its a pretty good lens, some would say its the best portrait lens Nikon has ever made! Peter Chiapperino (talk) 02:50, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Love it! Is it worth reducing the noise a bit, though? I tried running this through Noise Ninja at an NR of 8, and the results were quite nice. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:05, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- ~~Nice, but too noisy~~ (I changed my vote, a little noise never hurt anyone, it's a very good picture) . Jules Grandgagnage (talk) 09:48, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't think that's too noisy at all. It's a concert photo, our brains are better at noise reduction than algorithms. At non-100%, the noise really isn't strong. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 09:51, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- ^this! Concert Photography is a fickle thing. One shoots at higher ISO of which the consequence is digital noise. Finding the right balance between ISO, shutter speed, and aperture while the lights are constantly changing takes a ton of experience and a little noise is okay and one shouldn't be afraid to see it in a picture like this. On top of this, you have to wait for the subject to peel his/her face away from the mic, all in the first three songs. Thank you for all the compliments guys!

  - Comment @Peterchiapperino: I completely agree with this, but that red/white spot on his chin becomes pretty disturbing once you've seen it. Could you maybe try to tune it down a little bit? --El Grafo (talk) 15:08, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done El Grafo, I removed the red/white spot on the chin and killed a few more while I was at it. Peter Chiapperino (talk) 06:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Thanks, Support now, of course. --El Grafo (talk) 09:12, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Hubertl (talk) 10:46, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good composition, lighting and focus. -- Colin (talk) 12:33, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support The heck, the "wow" wins it out for me. Good work. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:39, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice ambience, ligth, composition. Maybe some minor crop above. --Mile (talk) 13:02, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Done Mile, I took a little off the top :) Peter Chiapperino (talk) 06:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hi guys I went ahead and made the edits you suggested, (slight crop and removed chins spot), unfortunately its not letting me upload a new version of the file. What do I do?
- Comment @Peterchiapperino: Your problem might be that UploadWizard currently does not support uploading new versions of existing files. Try this: Go to File:Jack Johnson 2014.jpg, scroll down to the File history and click on Upload a new version of this file. If that doesn't work, I don't know what's wrong. --El Grafo (talk) 11:14, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment @El Grafo: Its not letting me. I wonder if it was locked due to it being accepted as a "quality picture"? Peter Chiapperino (talk) 17:38, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Peterchiapperino, could you be a bit more precise. Is the link El Grafo mentions there? Does it go here?. You need to click on Browse button and select the new file. Fill in the "file changes". And press Upload file. At which point does it "not let you" and how does it not let you? -- 19:32, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
      - Done I figured it out! Thanks guys! I'm kinda new around here. Things can be a little confusing while learning everything. Peter Chiapperino (talk) 06:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
