Info created & uploaded by Jaan Künnap - nominated by Kruusamägi (talk) 16:20, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Info The photo was made in 1983 at Caucasus mountains near Elbrus. Wiki article of the photographer. Previously an image with a smaller size was nominated, but after a request made to photographer, he added this image. So I withdraw the previus nomination.

Support - I like this photo. I think it stands up well by current standards, maybe except for a blown part at the peak and some noise, which I think is probably inevitable in an analog picture of this type. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:20, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's not blown, something you can easily verify in any image editing program; the "noise" is called "grain". -- KennyOMG (talk) 20:24, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it looks blown to me, but as I pretty clearly indicated, it's a minor point. I won't be consulting photo editing programs for that kind of thing; I just use my eyes. And OK, grain. But do note that I supported, so I don't think either of those things are so important (and the grain was probably unavoidable). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:47, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Back then grain was indeed unavoidable and regarded more as bug than feature... nowadays lots of retro guys believe that grain defines "real" photography and go as far as to add artifical noise to their otherwise perfect pictures... lol --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:23, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think that thin black border should be removed though. The signature is ok since it is a scan of an old photo. --Cart (talk) 18:21, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done --Habitator terrae 🌍 17:29, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Request please remove the black border. Also there are strange black lines on the lower left (see my note), as if someone drew them onto the photo to trace the ropes and other equipment. I'm very curious what this could be. – Lucas ^T 18:47, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support now, although I'm still curious about the black lines. – Lucas ^T 20:56, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Still yes! -- KennyOMG (talk) 20:24, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support A marvelous piece of black and white photography. Perfectly composed. Do you eventually remember the film used? Just for curiosity. --Code (talk) 07:04, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Künnap told, that he used medium format (6x6 cm) camera Люби́тель (Ljubitel), that was in production between 1949-56 and is a Russian replica of German Voigtländer Brillant. The film was Svema Foto 64; ISO 64/19°. Künnap worked as an alpinism instructor in Ullu-Tau alpine camp. On this photo, there is group training on the height 4000 m, where he was instructing the usage of ropes on snowy peaks. Kruusamägi (talk) 13:37, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Kruusamägi: Quite interesting. Thank you very much! --Code (talk) 16:23, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
