ISO Setting? Hey, there are people having a camera, not a dumb digital micro box. I dont think that a camera like a Nikon F70 with a NIKKOR 20 mm 1.2 is a bad camera. But scanning slides isnt that easy as just getting the photo out of small, electronjic bad cameras. --Huebi 05:33, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
then maybe a bad scanner or whatever .. you have to admit that especially the sky is quite noisy (even in the small version). I like the picture though, but a noise reduction filter or a better scan could probably improve the quality :) -- Gorgo 01:39, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked all over and I can't find this image on the commons. That amazes me. This is a photograph of a sunsent on Mars, taken May 19th, 2005 by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover: Spirit at Gusev crater. This image was taken from JPL. Semiconscious (talk · home) 07:44, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • That strikes me as odd as well. I really like this photograph because I know what it is, but not necessarily for the composition or content itself (though I do think it's rather pretty, but I'm partial to desert landscapes). Does that make this worthy of featured picture status? Is a featured picture a featured picture for the image, or for what it shows and represents? Anyway, I guess we let the votes decide.

  •  Support - a great image. Wasn't there also a photo of the sunset taken by the first Mars lander? If so, then maybe this image's description should include a link to it for comparison. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 11:51, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
    Viking's sunset
    I found it and uploaded it to the Commons (shown on the right). This image seems to have started a tradition of getting sunset shots with every mission, with the featured picture candidate being the latest example. Maybe the Viking image deserves to be featured too? But, the quality is not quite as good as modern digital cameras.;) (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 12:44, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Can you, take me one Bay Area San Francisco picture better?
Well, here you can see the San Francisco airport, airterminal, airplain by airplain, you can see Berkeley University Campus building by buliding, you can see Alcatraz Isle and its building, Golden Gate pilon, all in one, focused from 290 Kilometers altitude, I would like to see better, if you can.
They didn't cut.
You can see from Pacific Ocean to Sierra Nevada and its lake, San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay comprise, all in one real focused in appropriate spaced framing.
The intriguing aspects are the technical data to take this photo:

  1. speed? Shuttle Columbia goes 27.000 Km/h, what's time exposure to take so large and so deep, real focused photo in all corner, at this speed?
  2. camera? How many meters is the HB camera length?
  3. chemical? How is the film for a resolution of the distance between the nearest buildins?
  4. astronomical? Latitude and Longitude of spacecraft (Nadir), Sun Azimuth and Sun elevation?

I saw a lot of photos from space but shorelines and mountains, buildings and bridge, jail and university, parks and hills, all focused visible toghether are rare.
Thank you.

* Oppose A really nice picture, but there is no use for it in a encyclopedia. I hope it looks better after rotating and cropping. To be a good piece of art, there ist too much over- and underexposure. All the orange in the sky is overexposed. --Ikiwaner 17:52, 8 September 2005 (UTC) these are the commons, not the wikipedia. There is no need for encyclopaedical content in the photographs Luc Viatour 08:30, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is not my opinion. Most users upload pictures here to illustrate articles on wiki projects. We should award users that shoot pictures extra for a certain article. --Ikiwaner 09:05, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
en:Päijänne is one of the largest lakes in Finland and fi:Sysmä is a Finnish municipality, so the picture does have encyclopedic use. -CSamulili 09:51, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I change my opinion ( Support) if somebody makes the image description better. A non finnish user did not know what the filename meant. At the moment, the image is not used in any article either, maybe one can change this. --Ikiwaner 07:27, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I made the description more verbous. The picture is used on the Finnish article on Sysmä, but unfortunately there is no easy way to check that from Commons. -CSamulili 19:33, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It was leaning and the white balance was quite bad. Next time maybe use a de:Graukarte. I tried to fix it. --Ikiwaner 12:25, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well the image is leaning (and I will fix it this evening) but the white balance is all right. Your change leaded to quite warm colors which was absolutely not the case. You might have noticed that the image was shot in December and there is a small layer of snow on the ground. So your color change is so unnatural that I had to revert the image. Regarding to the graycard: Due to a lack of a gray card I use at least three different exposures in difficult situations. This was the right one and it matches the place where it was shot - which is important for the WikiMedia issue, even if there might be some "nicer" versions by different coloring. I will upload a slightly rotated verison this evening when I have access to my PNG source. Andreas Tille 05:58, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
