  • IMO there is way too much contrast and clarity. The photo has almost only black and white with very few grey tones in between. I know it's a style, but in this case it comes off a bit too harsh. --cart-Talk 11:25, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @W.carter: I don't think this is really true. There is a large black area, so the linear histogram is not very developed. But if you look at the logarithmic histogram, you can see a lot of grey. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:31, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I did look at the original. The border looks a bit strange in the original, but it's clearly consistently parallel to the rest of the table, and therefore understandable as part of it. In the current version, it looks a bit ghostly and patchy, so it seems like some kind of defect in the photograph, instead of something that was actually there. I wouldn't be able to give any technical suggestions, but perhaps it might work best to rework that part of the photo from the RAW? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:13, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SVG exposure triangle
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Non-photographic media
  •  Info All by me -- WClarke 04:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I've seen versions of this diagram, and have found the concept to be helpful, so I decided to make my own public-domain version for Wikipedia. Hopefully it is something photographers here can appreciate. At the very least, if it's not worth featuring, I can get comments from people who know this subject well. Thanks. -- WClarke 04:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Visually it is rather plain, and I don't think it is a work of illustrative art on the level of the best FP diagrams. Secondly I have never understood why some books refer to an exposure triangle. I suppose they think "three" and assume a triangle is a suitable visual metaphor. The corners of the triangle have nothing in common (e.g. freezes motion & shallow DoF), nor to they represent limits to any scale (one can go slower than 1s and faster than 1/1000s). Changing one dimension just makes a different shaped triangle, but doesn't tell you how the three attributes interact to form an image -- the area of the triangle for example, isn't relevant. A better visual metaphor is a cube, where the brightness of the resulting image relates to the volume, and the width = shutter duration, height = aperture size, and depth = ISO. An increase in any of these results in greater brightness. If one uses an appropriate scale, doubling the width (shutter duration) can be compensated by halving the height (aperture size) or depth (ISO) and the same volume (brightness) results. However, at the level of physics, only aperture and shutter speed matter to determine how many photons hit the sensor (if we exclude filters, adding flash light and sensor size as variables the photographer can control), since ISO in the digital age is simply post-capture amplification. -- Colin (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The ISO thing makes more sense if you think of it as film sensitivity, so I wouldn't complain about that. But what's bothering me about this and all the other attempts I've see so far is that it doesn't actually tell you anything about exposure. What it should probably tell you is that, for example, at ISO 100, f/8 @ 1/250 will give you the same exposure as f/11 @ 1/125. Increase ISO to 200 and you'll get the same exposure as before at f/8 @ 1/125 or f/11 @ 1/250, or … . This attempt does this "for any given ISO", but you don't need a triangle for that. If demonstrating exposure is not the intention of this, it shouldn't be called an "exposure triangle". But then I think something like the first chart on this page would be much better suited to visualize the non-exposure related effects of changing aperture, shutter speed and film/sensor sensitivity. --El Grafo (talk) 09:46, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree that the diagram on the other page is better to show the effects of changing settings on the image qualities (other than exposure). The cube model does "explain" exposure and how the values each affect the total, but it isn't a particularly complex concept that one needs an analogy -- how much light is gathered by the sensor. The shutter duration and ISO values both double when the exposure doubles (goes up one stop). Only the aperture is strange with all those f/5.6 and f/8 numbers that don't seem to follow a sensible scale nor go the right direction! It makes more sense once you convert to the circular area of the aperture (e.g. f/8 is 122mm² on a 50mm lens, and f/5.6 is 250mm² which is double the area). I don't think the "triangle" model is adding anything useful. -- Colin (talk) 13:48, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Useful, probably a VI, not an FP in my eyes.--Peulle (talk) 12:29, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I like the idea actually, but would be much more intuitive if the triangle were coloured after the amount of exposure (black=dark, white=bright), each coordinate being more or less white. - Benh (talk) 18:55, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Peulle. Just too busy too effectively convey information ... I've seen this done better elsewhere. Daniel Case (talk) 22:09, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Québec city at night, view from Lévis city
As you can see in the image description, the main object (quebec city) is far and I find very difficult to take a better picture with my current lens. Thanks --The Photographer 22:31, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but could you dial back the highlights slightly? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:26, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I can't do it because the light difference. It's not a hdr picture and dial back the white will convert it on greay showing a false reality. In this case maybe the solution is buy another lens. I'm open to some recomendation.
I wouldn't be able to recommend anything; I just work with what I see. But making white and yellow highlights a little less bright is really going to make them gray? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:11, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan Kekek Yes, becasue it was allready done, I uploaded the raw, maybe you would help. --The Photographer 16:18, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't think so. Any more exposure and many of the small highlights will be blown. Histogram looks ok too. The boats are just a bit dirty. --cart-Talk 08:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you cart. I'm not sure that Ermell is totaly wrong nevertheless... I have the same feeling, but the light was so harsh that the use of a filter was a mandatory. Anyway, I'm not toooootaly happy with this orange. But there is no way to improve this (I tried...).

Central dome of the Trinity Cathedral in Saint Petersburg.
--A.Savin 23:30, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - The photo seems to clearly slope down to the left of center, and at least the smaller dome on the right seems to slope down to the right. I see no-one's commented on this, but why is it happening, and should anything be done to fix it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: my guess would be lens distortion, which is pretty common in drone cameras (but not always as recognizable as here, depending on what's depicted). The focal length of 8.8 mm has about the same field of view as a 24 mm lens on 135 format ("Full Frame"). That's a pretty wide angle, so some distortion can be expected. But it seems that there are options for automated software correction available for Adobe products [1]. --El Grafo (talk) 14:12, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, if you wish. My intention was, to show the entire central dome as close as possible. Not sure is some distortion on the small domes (of them at least two always will appear along with the big one) is evitable, nor if I could do any more about it with LR/PS. Feel free to vote as you like, I'm not Livioandronico and will surely neither insult you for that nor vote anywhere in revenge )) --A.Savin 20:15, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ezarate: Actually, the whole scene is the subject but that is hard to convey in a short title, as was the category. I don't think this is suitable for the FP category "Bicyles", perhaps "People" but the nearest I could come up with was "Places". Suggestions are welcome. I know that scenes are usually sneered at here since people just want plain clear photos of one identifiable subject. I think scenes that tell a story have a place here too. --cart-Talk 12:09, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A strawberry.

 I withdraw my nomination--Talk to Kong of Lasers 01:58, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Only where the splash has been made to match the strawberry. If this was for real, there should be small strawberries in every little water drop. Then there is also the water in front of the strawberry, It has in no way distorted the strawberry behind it. I have never seen and object through billowing water that was not distorted. Please compare with other splashing fruits such as File:Orange Strawberry.jpg or others at Category:Splashes. It is no doubt a cool photo, just not sure it belongs here. --cart-Talk 16:47, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose (I've changed the category from "Plants" to "Food and drink"). I don't know about the rest of you, but I've never found myself in a dark room with some water and felt the need to drop fruit into it. This is the sort of image that is popular on stock photo sites but I can't see much educational value for it, other than as an example of the fad for "fruit splash" photos. Sites like Pixabay are more aimed to offering free stock photos, than educational photos, though there is overlap and plenty educational images too. -- Colin (talk) 16:26, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Now that this photo is of sufficient size, I oppose it as an undeclared mashup of two or more photos, particularly as shown by the link Laitche gives above. I'm totally fine with stitching together multiple photos, but photoshopping one photo into another is not OK unless it's openly declared and not just presented as a cool thing without further explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak  Support. To me this is no different from File:Glühwendel brennt durch.jpg. Weak for the low resolution. -- King of 06:32, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Based on the link provided by Laitche, and this DeviantArt link, I'd have to agree this image is a Photoshop composite of photos, or does not in fact even contain a real water splash or real strawberry. The artist's other works appear largely artificial, and it is possible that the source images from which their composite works are created are not theirs to begin with (though might be free images). @King of Hearts, Kong of Lasers, and Peulle: The rules are clear: "Undescribed or mis-described manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable". If the source images for this composite are not created by the artist, that raises further questions about it's legitimacy as a file on Commons. With File:Glühwendel brennt durch.jpg that KoH links to, the manipulation is described, though to be honest, I've never thought those exploding bulb photos had much EV either. An FP must be accurately described and IMO should also be clear about authorship of all its parts. -- Colin (talk) 08:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Old man with a beard
  •  Oppose Too heavily compressed, leading to JPG artefacts and posterisation. The image looks like it has been upscaled, as there isn't much pixel-level detail. As a portrait, the eyes aren't well lit and the beard is lost somewhat in the light background. There's no EXIF, but I don't think the lens choice was best, as it appears to have been taken from close range, rather than the more flattened portrait one would expect from a telephoto. -- Colin (talk) 18:30, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Water slide tower at the lido on Johannes-Brahms-Promenade, Pörtschach am Wörther See, Carinthia, Austria
While the lighting/sky is different in this one, I don't think it is at the level of those. For example, the first one above has the slide in dark like this, but has a lovely soft background and good reflection in the water. Here the subject is quite small in the frame as a result of the wide-angle lens. There is a lot of clutter to the right and left. The water reflection isn't as good and the foreground water not adding anything. The water also appears to have either chroma noise or colour moire. -- Colin (talk) 07:37, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explanation. I translate this in willkürlicher Schnitt (Bildschnitt or Bildausschnitt). Willkürlich isn't the same like schlecht or armselig (poor). More like not well selected rather randomly. But it's not important. --Hockei (talk) 11:01, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info I uploaded a new version with a bit changed white balance and some more pixels (7.7 MP) but not full resolution (max at GH5 12 MP in 16:9). This deletion request opened my eyes about wikimedia and some users restless. Some users do so as if the cc by-sa is like public domain. Photographers are just sucked out and then on the top of it they get a kick. I don't want to pull him in here but I totally agree with Pocos reasons. I decided I won't upload full resolution pictures no more even if the GH3 pictures only have max 12 or 16 MP (4:3). But my GH3 era is over in April 2017 and then comes my GH5 era. I'm not sure if I'll upload pictures from this camera to the wikimedia yet. It doesn't matter whether Colin or other users like it or not. Fact is that the pictures of Moroder almost all are too soft. Independently of the number of pixels. But he isn't willing to change his way so I have the right to say that. This isn't cheeky how colin said but just honest and true.
I won't withdraw the nomination of my picture but want your decision.
In spite of all I have to say thanks to all users they helped me to develop my skills in producing pictures from the raw photo (at last to Yann).
@Yann: I beg you to delete the copies of this picture because they are not needed no more. I hope it's possible in that short way. --Hockei (talk) 07:48, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree that Moroder's pictures have a consistent problem with softness, the point remains that at 6MP your image and his image are comparable in sharpness. Yet you nominate yours downsampled to < 6MP and expect us to go wow -- which is the criteria for FP. If Moroder did the same, he'd get fewer complaints about softness also, but also more complaints about unimpressive detail/size. Neither then are "among our finest" technically. We are left then with whether the image is among our finest artistically, and here Jebulon sums things up -- this is nice but nothing special. As for the DR, well Jim does not represent the whole of Commons nor Wikimedia, and he could have handled that better, but he was technically correct. If you use CC BY-SA then you can't be overly precise about attribution placement. Several people spent considerable time helping you draft a better wording, which I think better represents Commons community than some clumsy admin. I don't see how downsizing to 6MP will make a bean of difference to whether your images are stolen on the internet, as many Web usages require much smaller than that, and 6MP is sufficient to print A4 professionally. This kind of downsizing because you don't want to be more generous, will not impress anyone at Commons FPC and is exactly the sort of downsizing that is discouraged. Especially so when we see you complaining about 36MP images being too soft. That's just not fair play. In my opinion, if you are a professional photographer then by all means keep them "All rights reserved" as it protects your assets from which you derive your income and pay the mortgage. But if this is a hobby then who are you helping by worrying about someone in China or USA stealing your photo? It only gives you an ulcer and you will be no richer if you keep them under copyright on some Flickr album instead. -- Colin (talk) 11:23, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Colin: While I agree that this is not very sharp, you can't compare a picture taken from 39 km away, and one taken only from a few kilometers. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:24, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yann, I'm not aware there is a need to take the picture from 39km away, so that doesn't really help the case. The latest upload has turned the sky purple, so I don't know what is going on. The "finest on Commons" doesn't include pictures deliberately downsized so that Commons is a loser. If we all played that game, we'd all be judging 2MP images. -- Colin (talk) 21:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Colin: I have withdrawn my vote, as the colors are wrong now. But why do you talk about a need? A picture is taken from a given place, that's all. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:41, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If I take a picture of Big Ben from a poor or distant vantage point, then people may complain it isn't sharp, or the verticals perspective distortion is too much. But if I get a great location, that can make all the difference. That this image is ok from that distance is great, but doesn't itself justify FP. Thinking about it, Yann, I think the reason this image isn't popping out of the screen with wow is exactly because it was taken from so far away. The perspective compression that results creates a flat image almost like someone painted this mountain on a piece of card. We expect our mountains to be 3D. -- Colin (talk) 07:50, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • PumpkinSky (and also Colin), if I may: I see that this photo was taken in April, and if I remember correctly, that was before you learned about RAW. If this photo is just the original jpeg from the camera, the program in the camera has made an automatic NR when it converted the RAW file to the jpeg you extracted. Jpegs from the camera has built-in NR from the start, even if you don't touch the slider in LR afterwards. --cart-Talk 14:16, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's probably the reason. But even in a raw converter like Lightroom, there's always some NR going on. For example, the colour NR in Lightroom defaults to 25 (and is best kept there unless one has huge ISO values and little reason to go smaller), and the demosaicing process aims to minimise noise. You need to use one of the open source raw converters to see what a raw file looks like out-of-camera, and it is quite awful. -- Colin (talk) 16:13, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I carefully looked into that. Due to the curved metal roof, you cannot totally avoid reflections. This reflection fortunately isn't blown out but just very bright. However, it cannot be handled with local reduction of exposure or reduction of whites/highlights. It would entail an area substitution in PS to achieve a suitable result. Personally, I do not think, that it is worth to remove the bright part of the roof in favor for a photoshopped matte. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 21:19, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't easy if the "horizon" varies with height and distance, but perhaps some in-between value would help.

PumpkinSky your "the FP community does more harm than good" comment is incredibly rude to your fellow reviewers, who are simply doing their job. All because we failed to sing the praises of a couple of your rather ordinary photos. While FPC is sometimes a game of roulette, it isn't a game to play with pretty much most of your uploads in the hope a few pass the grade. The response is no surprise at all. FP is not QI and is meant to be difficult and selective. -- Colin (talk) 18:58, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Church fresco - Triumphal entry into Jerusalem
  • Read more about the church. Well, momentally just in Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian language. Church is one of main, built 1872, second to Eparchial. So question is more, was it restored and when. Otherwise even smaller churches around got old frescos...welcome to Macedonia. --Mile (talk) 16:57, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • My feeling is: not restored, but completely new, in byzantine style. Something like at the pediment of Athens cathedral. The building is old enough, but not the fresco/mosaic. But I don't know.--Jebulon (talk) 10:07, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ship passes through a light patch amid dark fog on the San Francisco Bay
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Natural
  •  Info all by me. — Rhododendrites talk02:34, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I was on a ferry on the San Francisco Bay recently and saw this big ship passing through a little pocket of light amidst dark fog. I don't think it's a traditional FPC, but I love the drama of the lost ship (in the literary sense) passing cloud-covered islands, surrounded by dark fog with just a little bit of light and blue sky. — Rhododendrites talk02:34, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - I'd support cropping another third of the water in the foreground, but I support for the drama. I can easily imagine this as a cinematic shot. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:23, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • After your post-QIC advice, I experimented with a few different crops. One of the things I like about this image is the circular[ish] patch of light that illuminates the water as well as what's above water. For me, it contributes to the drama/cinematic feel. As I see it, that circle extends to near the bottom of the frame in the current crop. I didn't like the way a more severe crop cut into that shape. If it were otherwise I would surely agree with you from a composition point of view. Not sure if I'm explaining that well, or if I'm helping or hurting by explaining, but there it is. :) — Rhododendrites talk22:23, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have to take issue with this. I don't mind if you oppose because it doesn't strike you as a FP or if it seems too melodramatic (I would agree re: the latter, except that's why I like it), but it sounds like you're accusing me of lying and/or misrepresenting re: vignetting. There was no vignetting added. Any tone adjustments were done to the entire image. The only exception was a minor adjustment to the ship itself (and not its surroundings). If it helps to clarify, you can see another example from shortly after here: File:Ship in the SF Bay fog (40413).jpg, in which the effect is still visible on the left but not so much the right. — Rhododendrites talk15:22, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I  Support this one. The form is great, like a sculptor who creates a great bas relief with found objects. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:21, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry but as I hinted last time, I'm bored already. And the rather harsh lighting isn't pleasing to my eye. It's a random piece of bark, no different to the bark 5cm further up the tree or 5cm further down, or to the left or right, or to the next tree, and so on. So for me just an example of texture in nature and close-up photography. So personally I'd be off trying to take a close-up photo of something different rather than another bark.
  • Also, the JPG is in "ProPhotoRGB" colourspace. Never use this for JPG. Nobody has a "ProPhotoRGB" monitor to see it on, and in fact nobody has ProPhotoRGB eyes as the colourspace includes many colours that are theoretically/mathematical rather than physically possible. The 8-bit colour of a JPG can't handle ProPhotoRGB with fidelity. It is intended as an intermediate working colour-space for doing colour manipulation in Photoshop on 16-bit TIFF files. You should use sRGB for internet JPGs. Also, unless you own a wide-gamut monitor, and have setup your software and operating system and monitor settings to take advantage of it, I'd strongly recommend using sRGB for the intermediate files too, as many software tools ignore or strip out colourspace details, running the risk that you end up with the wrong colours. -- Colin (talk) 08:05, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose If you will nominate all your bark pictures it is very hard to pick out the best one. I'm afraid that's not very exciting.--Ermell (talk) 21:15, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Question @Ermell: For one thing, this is a different species. So by using the same logic as you we shouldn't be able to have multiple FPs of those moth and butterfly photos that are all shot and/or mounted the same way, we shouldn't have a FP of a Mercedes E-class if we have an FP of a Mercedes C-class (or whatever make of car), if we have an FP of one Medieval German church we can't have an FP of another one, etc etc usw usw. Because this is basically what you're saying. We even have FPs of the same species and these two bark photos are not the same species and a totally different motif. Your oppose rationale is nothing but a hypocritical double-standard and as far as I'm concerned it is not a valid rational. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander but here it clearly isn't. These double standard rationals at FPC need to stop here and now. So which German church FPs are you going to put up for delisting since by your logic we should only have one German church FP, one moth\butterfly FP shot and mounted the same, one bark photo regardless of the species, one flower photo regardless of species, etc? Maybe I'll start opposing all the German church and mountain FPs because I'm bored with them and don't feel like picking out the best one. PumpkinSky talk 21:28, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment@PumpkinSky: I'm sorry if the picture didn't immediately show that this is a different species. It is in the nature of things that it is more difficult to depict tree bark in an interesting way than churches, which do not necessarily have to be German. To be precise, I just don't find this picture interesting enough for FP. You should not react so irritated to justified criticism just try to improve your pictures here is where it worked.--Ermell (talk) 22:12, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Comment@Ermell: Then that's what you should have said, not say we can we can only have one bark photo, period, of any kind. This was not justified criticism, it was a cop out on your part. This is clearly labled Pinus palustris not Pinus taeda, if you'd looked. Have you ever opposed because there's already a flower photo? I doubt it. I've seen this many times, different rules for different photos or whatever. We can have multiple photos of a bird species but only one of bark? What sense does that make? None. I'm done with the double standards, hypocrisy, and other things I have seen here. I'm done with Commons. PumpkinSky talk 22:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica, featured[edit]

  •  Info Set of images of the interior of the Notre-Dame Basilica, located in the historic district of Old Montreal, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The interior of basilica, built in Gothic Revival style, is impressive with vivid colors, stars and filled with hundreds of intricate wooden carvings and several religious statues. It was built between 1823 and 1829 after a design of James O'Donnell and it has become one of the landmarks of the city. All by me, Poco2 06:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info I've seen many churches in my life but this one is one of those that really impressed me after I visited it in 2007, but the pictures I took back then didn't make it justice. Poco2 06:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Poco2 06:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment First let me say I'm very happy to see you contributing new images again. I recall Diliff's version File:Notre-Dame Basilica Interior, Montreal, Canada - Diliff.jpg (which actually dates from 2006) and his comments at the FPC: "It's quite a dark interior and to preserve the highlight details, I've chosen not to bump the shadows too much. As is often the case, the full size image doesn't look as dark as it does in the thumbnail so please view at 100%". This last comment is true: if one makes his image full-screen, the eye adjusts to the lower ambient light compared to a thumbnail on white. My first thoughts on seeing this collection was "who turned the lights up max" and "why is everything so yellow". Aside from the HDR brightness and colours, I don't think the pulpit shot is at FP level. You've shot it too close and the extreme perspective distortion is too much. I'll have a closer study of the set later. -- Colin (talk) 06:56, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Colin: You're probably right about the pulpit, but there was not much playroom behind me. Either this way or with a partial view of the pulpit due to the benches (as there was no possibility to get to the upper level of the basilica). The pulpit is not essential part of the set, though, I could remove it. Poco2 07:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good point by Colin. This set looks as shiny as Las Vegas lights. Comparing to Diliff version, it is clear that naturally this place is not that shiny. EDIT :  Support the new version of the set. -- Pofka (talk) 07:38, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, I have to say it never looked anything like this when I visited. I will freely admit that I visited in January late in the afternoon where there was no ambient light filtering through the windows, whereas there is in Poco's version, but I don't think it needed to be processed with so much luminosity. It seems much too bright and saturated, not just compared to my recollection of the scene, but also aesthetically speaking. I think all the images would benefit from a more low-key approach to processing but that is just my gut feeling. Diliff (talk) 08:19, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, from my point of view, your version, David looks too dark to me, to be honest. Yes, we had daylight coming into the church, as you can see here, but still I feel that the lighting in the church was stronger. These pictures do reflect pretty much what I recall, I can surely reduce the exposition a bit, but not to that level. Regarding saturation I've to say that the colors of this basilica are really vivid, specially the altar. It would be great to hear the opinion of somebody who has been recently there. Poco2 08:58, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm not saying you should reduce it to the levels of my image. As I said, mine was taken without any ambient light as it was dark outside. The lighting was very different so I'm not saying it should look like mine. My image looks as it looked when I visited (very dark, just the lights of the altar and a few lights on the columns). Yours obviously had more ambient light during your visit, and I can see that more of the lights in the stalls were turned on, as well as more lights on the altar too. I'm just saying that regardless of how it was when you visited, it appears a little too bright in these images (objectively speaking). The colours are a bit washed out and some highlights blown or nearly blown (perhaps just one colour channel blown, which results in a flat area of no detail). Look at the altar and ceiling, there's a lot of detail missing there. Look at the rays of light coming from the middle of the spires in the centre - there's shades of yellow that are almost completely missing - it looks almost white. I just think this is the result of overexposure (or at least processing so that it is too bright). We don't perceive really luminous colours as 'blown' in the same way a camera and display with limited dynamic range portrays them. I can't imagine that this is how it really looked in person. Diliff (talk) 10:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • David, I checked the sources of light again. Apart from the fact that apparently all lamps were on, when I visited it, there are several light inlets in the church not just in the walls, but in the roof, some are over those lamps in the middle of the nave and a bigger one over the main altar. About your comments on overexposure will check that closely this evening. Poco2 12:29, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose HDRish colors, temperature, with last one flare problems. --Mile (talk) 08:52, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I was there last summer (that is, summer of 2016), on an afternoon. There was some light coming in, but if I remember correctly, it wasn't nearly as bright as depicted in these photos, although it was brighter than when Diliff was there. I feel like the atmosphere in the church was closer to Diliff's version, though. I hope my girlfriend, a former resident of Montreal, has a chance to look at these photos, because she could say whether it ever looked this bright in her experience. I'll let you know what she has to say when I'm able to show these to her. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:36, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support contingent on a few improvements. I do mostly like the composition (the sailboat is a small but excellent touch) but as KoH says, the grass near the bottom could be cropped out without cutting into the bottom of the closest bollard... content-aware fill may do a decent job of cloning it out without cropping. Also, I would run it through lens profile corrections to remove color fringing, vignetting, and minor distortion. –Juliancolton | Talk 02:14, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Juliancolton and King of Hearts: It's an Olympus MFT camera, so lens corrections are built into the raw file (discovered this when trying to figure out where the profile for it was in Lightroom). That said, I've gone in and done some manual defringing. Also did a bit of a perspective adjustment to address the distortion issue you mentioned. That necessitated a bit different crop. Brightened a little bit, and applied a minor vignetting correction. The result is here (again, I've reverted to the original for FPC purposes, but will change if there's a broad sense this new version is an improvement). Thanks for your feedback. — Rhododendrites talk06:13, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Jebulon, I think you are right that the polarization filter is what is causing the problem. From what I know, strong, harsh light is not usually a reason to use such a filter. It is more designed to get rid of reflections on surfaces. I think stong light is better to control by altering the APEX exposure bias (say -0,7 or so) and fix things later in post-processing. I recently did a test myself to see how a polarizing filter altered a scene and the result looks a bit like your photo. I shot the exact same scene with and without a filter on a very bright and sunny day. I think it's a matter of taste which version you prefer. --cart-Talk 17:01, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Benh, PetarM, Jebulon, and W.carter: If I may offer my very humble opinion on polarizing filters...and I readily admit I don't have the knowledge or experience you all have, but I like my circular polarizing filters. In my experience, they can cut sunlight, affect colors---making them brighter or darker depending on where the sun is and where you turn the filter to, and cut reflections. See [4] and [5]. Just my two cents. PumpkinSky talk 01:51, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Something like that. You also loose some 1/3-half of stop. Checked EXIF of Jebulon shot. Focal 54 mm, Manual exposure, 1/60 sec, f/10, ISO 50. I would say, if you got best PL, you might loose in this Manualising. Automatic isnt that stupid, sometimes is better to leave it. I would say isnt sharp due to large time, i doubt its was on tripod. Tint +6 (i never saw od daylight that much), Vibrance +34, Blacks +28, Clarity +41, Luminance Adjustment Blue: -17. I think its more spoiled in software, with losing sharpness with handmoving (in case you got best and expencive PL), otheriwse add PL in it. --Mile (talk) 08:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
