Support It is very hard to find a good image for this species, especially when there are no featured pictures. The majority either didn't meet the guidelines or had very tight/bad crops. IMO, this is the best one I could find. -- WildMouse76 (talk) 23:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Info created and uploaded by W.carter, nominated by Yann
Info Looking straight up into the magenta Aurora Borealis over Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. The aurora was the result of a G5 geomagnetic storm.
Auroras are not like most light sources we are used to. They are not constant, like when you photograph sunlight, lamps or the moon. Instead they move constantly and quickly (the link is a good real time video of a lively aurora), kind of like smoke in the wind. They pulsate and throb, one moment you can have a bright formation to your left and 1/4 sec later it can flicker out and a new pulse/ray/squiggle of light appear above or to the right, and this aurora was extremely lively. This random pattern makes it impossible to set the camera perfectly and there will be some posterization if you want to catch the best of these light shows. If you shoot an aurora, you have to take the good with the bad. Also, in this photo, not all variances in luminescence are are due to the aurora. Some of them are small thin clouds. The night started out cloudy, but they began to disappear so I could catch some of the aurora. The small clouds are easier to see in some other photos, like this taken on the same spot, but down towards the horizon. The whole series is in this category. --Cart(talk)10:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not questioning the camera settings, those seem perfectly reasonable. Is posterization also present in the raw file? If so, the issue is indeed due to camera limitations and there is not much that can be done without misrepresenting the aurora. However, in my own pictures I can only recall a couple that showed posterization on the original image. In all other instances posterization was caused by something I did during editing (e.g., clipping channels) or exporting (e.g., choosing the wrong colour space, using too much JPEG compression). --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My dear Julesvernex2, your prominent collection of cameras is so way, way, way much better than the two I have, so of course you don't have these problems. My aurora photos are actually among the least processed of all my photos. All edits on aurora photos from such an inferior camera will only make things worse, so I use a very light touch. But the camera is what it is, totally inadequate for professional night photos, but I like to photograph what I see anyway for my own amusement and for use on Wiki articles where the images look good enough at thumb and on the file page. I would never nominate any of my aurora photos here, but I've learned to play along if someone else does. Thank you for reminding me of my humble equipment and confirming that I made the right decision to not nominate my photos here any more, now that technology has moved forward and I haven't been able to follow. --Cart(talk)12:13, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I offered my own experience as advice, which is a regular (and, in my opinion, useful) occurrence on these pages. I apologise if I have in some way offended you, take care. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not offended and I always appreciate advice, but there is simply not much I can do about my camera. It's like owning an old Saab and someone with a Ferrari is trying to give you tips on how to drive your old rust heap. ;-) You just feel stupid for parking next to such fab piece of machinery. I know my place, and it's outside this race track now. :-) --Cart(talk)13:01, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The camera helps, but it doesn't make it all. The greatest pictures were taken with equipment way behind current technology. What's IMO most important is being at the right time at the right place, and having a bit of artistic genius or a human touch. And here you got it all, Cart! Yann (talk) 13:07, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Yann, that philosophy works excellently out IRL, but it does not apply to FPC. Remember that this community has snubbed some of the greatest photos and photographers through pixel-peeping and hard-liner tech talk. --Cart(talk)13:13, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's one of the great failures of FPC. I guess that a number of Pulitzer prizes or National Geographic pictures may fail here. This doesn't reduce the greatness of the pictures. It only shows the limitations of our community. Yann (talk) 13:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cart's EOS 600D from Canon was one of the best in the entry-level class in terms of image quality, similar to my entry-level D3300 from Nikon. But I'm largely happy with it, and it's interesting to see the tried-and-true sensor used unchanged for the 2018 D3500. As Yann mentioned, it's always the photographer behind the camera that counts. The camera is just the tool, whether it's an old Saab or a Ferrari. I would also prefer a higher quality camera, but family commitments and a moderate income make investing in expensive camera systems almost unaffordable. If I may repeat my earlier statement at this point, many of Cart's images would, in my opinion, be worthy of inclusion in the FP Media Archive via the FPC nomination process. Thanks also to Julesvernex2 for the helpful hints and explanations. Just my two cents to this conversation. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 20:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hi IssamBarhoumi, what a great photo! However, what he is doing is a bit mislabeled. What he is doing is not engraving, but it is very common for people outside the handicraft trade to know the difference. ;-) Engraving is when you cut away material to make patterns (no hammer involved for engraving metals). What he is doing is called chasing, part of the repoussé and chasing techniques used by copper, silver and goldsmiths. Chasing is when you hammer in a pattern into the material, and repoussé is when you hammer out patterns from the backside of the material. I have fixed up the description and the categories for you, but would you mind if the file was renamed too so that is showed the right profession. I'm so happy that we finally have a really good photo for the wiki articles and chasers on Wikidata. Coppersmiths often use many different techniques to make the patterns on their work, and the right terminology for all of them is not easy. Best, --Cart(talk)15:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scarification may be a part of their culture and tradition. I just expressed my misgivings on exposing these kind of people in public. It's just my opinion. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 16:47, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the case using Google and Wikipedia. The place is some 180 km from Juba, the capital town, it is definitely not a city like London or Tokyo, but it is a town of 490 000+ population, it has airport, banks, schools and university, telecommunication company, TV and shops of electronics, churches of several confessions, etc. There is a school and a clinic in Kimotong. So, I do not think that they are so innocent to not understand the consequences of photography. And I agree that the photo has documentary value and encyclopedic value. LexKurochkin (talk) 07:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think, yes, considering my other comment. Actually, there are not too many places of that grade of innocence nowadays. May be somewhere deep in jungle, but not only 180 km from their capital. LexKurochkin (talk) 07:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are of course different degrees of innocense, but i seriously doubt that she is aware of how people with a scarification fetish will use this photo. --Cart(talk)14:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
in such light conditions (low light) you can only open the diaphragm to full aperture to have a decent image and obviously everything will not be in focus. You must always take the shooting conditions into account. El Golli Mohamed (talk) 17:09, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Very true! Unfortunately, this is an old problem on FPC. Too many voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically, will think that all photos should have the same quality as a well-lit, stacked church façade or a studio photo. --Cart(talk)20:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cart's statement comes across as passive-aggressive. If I understand correctly, you are directly placing me in the category of "voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically". That's fine, do you; there's a legitimate reason why I don't post my pictures here, but that doesn't make me any less inadequate. I have no problem with the other responses here, except Cart's. Keep in mind that this is not the first time it has occurred; see here. WolverineXI07:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support In perfect light, the focus is sharp on the eye, which matters at this depth of field. More is not possible at f/4. An excellent capture in my view. -- Radomianin (talk) 20:34, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support There is no rule to have the whole subject in focus, and in many cases it is just impossible technically. The Image Guidelines state: "Depth of field is chosen according to the specific needs of every picture", and there is the example photo of a cat with focus on eyes and shallow DOF. I consider this image in compliance with the Image Guidelines. Nice photo of interesting subject with "wow-effect" IMO. LexKurochkin (talk) 11:49, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support At f4 with 1/100s while still beeing at ISO 6400 it must have been a very dark place. The photograph could not have been taken in a better way as smaller aperture (=more DoF) would have resulted in increased ISO. Also to me the most important thing to get in focus in animal photography is the eye and the bird eye is perfectly in focus. Focus stacking is usually impossible on birds as they tend to keep moving and I always find it quite impressive how JJ Harrisson manages shutter speeds of 1/100s with them -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In my opinion you've gone too far with the colors.

Comment I uploaded a new version of the image with (hopefully) more natural colours. But you have to keep in mind that the picture was taken in bright morning sun light (with the subject in the shadow), which leads to bright colours. --Stephan Sprinz (talk) 06:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Info Instead of forced portraits, you can have qucik and spontaneous shots. I like this one, planed and executed in few seconds till they realize. Sigthseeing group in Rabat, column stay. --Mile (talk) 17:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think it would be better without the two standing figures behind the photographers, but still good. Cmao20 (talk) 20:05, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment—kallerna I would still say spontaneous shot, not planed. For candid, i would think bushmans with extra zoom, hiding and waiting some superstar by pool next house, so they know what are they waiting and probably know what kind of photo will they get. --Mile (talk) 07:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Funny but too busy compostion. It would work without the guy passing by in the background, with his finger on his nose. He seems embarrassed to be in the frame. The two ladies behind are also distracting. And the wall at the right has nothing special. Sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:24, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I like the idea and it's a good candid shot of the photographers, very natural. I don't mind the wall on the right which adds to the candid nature, making you feel like you're watching these photographers from round a corner. But the people in the background, especially the man, are just too distracting for me, sorry. BigDom (talk) 08:56, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tried my level best. Since it is a lowlight photography hard to remove shadows. Now please watch. If somebody helps to improve more i will send the original file on email.--Shagil Kannur (talk) 04:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Supporting because of the subject, nice light and sky and good quality. Still it's just a close-up of a mountain without any interesting composition Poco a poco (talk) 13:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but more important to me, this gives a kind of suspense or mystery, when she is not looking at the camera. Yann (talk) 14:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I was going to stay neutral because the portrait is good, but definitely too soft. The already existing FP is too similar, of a better composition, and with much better sharpness than this one, that's why I feel that I have to oppose here, sorry, Yann. Poco a poco (talk) 13:36, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nah, this image is not what we need in an FP. The composition is underwhelming, the quality is subpar and the crop is OK, I guess. Sorry for not supporting, but hey, that's life. WolverineXI17:19, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but I don't get it. The wheel may be interesting, but it is only a small part and too dark, and the rest is a blurry background. Yann (talk) 09:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I have been going back and forth on this but I am not sure the composition really works. It feels like the wheel is a bit of an afterthought, placed at the edge of the frame. I think it would have worked better with more wheel and less OOF background Cmao20 (talk) 19:58, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The blurry background covers too much of the picture, while the wheel only covers a portion too small for my liking. --WildMouse76 (talk) 14:38, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Moral support A very interesting and unusual composition, probably too unusual for us. It reminds me of some paintings which show a person looking at a distant landscape or town; in these paintings the nominal subject is that distant object, but they emphasize the person in order to allow the viewers to identify themselves with that person; so in some regard the real subject is the contemplation of the person who looks at that distant object (example). I vaguely remember some photographs which use the same approach, but combine it with a key feature of photography (the interplay of sharp and unsharp) by putting the focus on the person and throwing the landscape/town out of focus, still keeping it recognizable. Now in this photograph the wheel plays the role of the front person; the standing wheel seems to contemplate the great past and presence of that big industrial area. I guess my explanation is lengthy and unclear, but on these lines the composition actually works for me. – Aristeas (talk) 19:47, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for the detailed, yet rather unusual review. I think it's very positive that my intention for the photo is clear. --XRay💬19:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NeutralSupport Great light, composition and perspective: The panorama has many interesting details, such as the serpentine road, the ski lift, the icy benches, the dynamic condensation trails, or the impressive view above the clouds. Well done! -- Radomianin (talk) 18:57, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question Hallo Milseburg, ich finde das Bild klasse. Allerdings fällt mir bei Deinen Bergszenen immer auf, dass der Schnee ziemlich grau ist (was normalerweise ein Indiz dafür ist, dass bei der Aufnahme keine oder eine zu geringe manuelle Belichtungskorrektur eingestellt war). Egal, was auch immer der Grund für die graue Farbe des Schnees ist… könntest Du bitte überlegen, ob Du den Schnee durch nachträgliche Korrektur etwas weißer machen kannst? Beste Grüße, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:49, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Snow is simply not gray. I rarely intervene based on technical concerns, but I've now seen enough winter photos here where exposure compensation wasn't applied correctly. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 17:27, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Info And just to explain this properly: Modern cameras are programmed to average the brightness of the scene to a middle gray, resulting in snow appearing dull and gray rather than bright and white. To correct this, the photographer has to dial in (some cameras have an extra wheel for this) a stop or so of exposure compensation to instruct the camera to increase the exposure, making the snow appear natural. Applying exposure compensation results in a well-exposed image where the snow retains its bright, white appearance without being washed out or appearing gray. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:44, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks to Frank for the thoughtful review. I just opened the image in PS and noticed that the sRGB profile is not assigned. This can make a big difference in how the image looks in different browsers. @Milseburg: If you are going to develop the Raw file again with exposure adjustments, exporting it in the sRGB profile would be a good choice. Just my 2 cents to solve the problem. Best regards :) -- Radomianin (talk) 18:44, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Good catch, Radomianin. I have taken the liberty to embed the sRGB profile with ExifTool. @Milseburg: This is just a little help, especially if you do not want to edit the image anymore; embedding a colour profile with ExifTool is a lossless operation and has no impact on the image data itself, so your image was not changed by this at all. – Aristeas (talk) 14:39, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I miss wow here. I like snowed landscapes, but preferably with virgin and white (I concur with Frank) snow, not the case here. I also find the crop at the top too tight. I believe that there was FP potential here but I just see a cross that cannot breath at the top, trampled grey snow and a bit of mountains. Poco a poco (talk) 20:07, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A wonderful view (I can only agree with Radomianin’s first comment); however I have to admit that the whites could be whiter – I have tried it, adjusting the white point makes the whole image even better. – Aristeas (talk) 14:39, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Impressive landscape but as others have said, the white balance is off and the placement of the cross feels a little awkward. BigDom (talk) 09:05, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Whites are much better. I still find the placement of the cross a little too distracting for FP, but not enough to oppose. BigDom (talk) 14:00, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thank you very much for the revision, Milseburg. Your editing has significantly improved the picture. I have restored my original supporting vote. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
