[edit] File:Kalapana and steam from lava entering the ocean .jpg

Voting period ends on 15 Jul 2009 at 23:55:55
SHORT DESCRIPTION

  • Info: The big Island of Hawaii is growing by an hour. All brand new land (sorry lava) that pours in the ocean, creating new shoreline, belongs to the state, but if a new lava gets atop of the old one, the prior owner still keeps his rights. The owners home was covered by lava in 1990. Now they try to sell their new/old lava. The steams at the background are volcanic plumes from at least two ocean entries of the lava. There is a helicopter nearby to show how big the thing is.

  •  Oppose If this is to be a faithful reproduction of the real painting, then i believe the colors are unacceptably too vivid and saturated. Jeez, they are supposed to be sitting in a scenery of greenery, and now the overall yellowish-greenish hue of the painting has been so strongly removed that they are left against a pinkish-white background.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

 Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed because it is below size requirements. Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If no contrary views are expressed within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

  •  Comment Updated star colours using Wien's Law to calculate the perceived wavelengths, based on the most recent estimates that I could find for the star's surface temperature. Temperatures and sources are noted on the image details page. Thangalin (talk) 01:38, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. The texture/material is based on what? Some stars range in color from yellow to red. Please correct me, but I don't think the temperature/wavelength is known to astronomers on this scale. Besides it would likely change over time. bamse (talk) 07:45, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment bamse: See the Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram for details. Temperature can be determined. See the Antares page for details. Planet texture maps are mostly from Celestia Motherlode and in the public domain (Earth was from a different site, but also PD). The textures for the stars are simulated, mostly based on textures from our Sun. Yes, the colours will change over time. I will update the image 10,000 years from now (if I remember). ;-) Thangalin (talk) 08:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I remember the Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram from my high school, but that was not my question. Sorry for being so persistent. I have no doubt about the planet textures, since the details can be observed through telescopes or via space crafts. My problem is with the stars which are much further away. You say that you simulated their textures based on the texture from our sun. Can you tell a little more about the simulation part? Also, if I wanted to determine the temperature of "VV Cephei A", should I look at the yellow or the red parts of it? bamse (talk) 09:02, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your question, Downtowngal. More than 100 houses were destroyed by the lava flow in 1990 in Kalapana. The town used to have streets and gardens. They had their own church. They are there no more. The church was moved to a safer location. The streets and gardens were covered by lava. Some kids went to school, and came back to see their houses on fire. People tried to make a desperate bargain with Pele ,the goddess of fire. They threw bottles with wine to the approaching lava in hope Pele would have some pity on them. It did not help. There were many heartbreaking stories. One young family had volcano insurance. Their policy was canceled with no reason, few days before the lava was about to destroy their home. Their friends helped young couple to move the entire home to a different location. Today some people came back to Kalapana. There are few houses here and there. I do not think there is a beach there, but I am not sure about this. I've never approached any of the houses. It is a private property, and they do not like tourists to come around. I understand them very well. IMO this site is very, very special. I hope I answered your question, but if I did not, please feel free to ask me more. If I am still around by that time, I sure will respond Smile.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:19, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

    Just a silly question, but how do you do a 210x180° indoor panorama without distorsion? Esby (talk) 19:31, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
    With DxO or Fisheye-Hemi I guess. But there are people to dislike distorded images, I personnally prefer distortion, more aesthetic. →Diti the penguin — 23:40, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
    Trying to put half of a sphere on a plane will always show up distorsion, rectilinear images just can't be achieved in such case. For those who don't understand what I am saying, take a world map (usually with a mercator projection), looks at the greenland and at the artic area, and ask yourself if there is no distorsion present, now takes another one, centered elsewhere, with another projection, you'll notice there will be always one or several area that appears as distorted.

I'd love to but "Save for Web & Devices" in Photoshop seems to remove the EXIF. Not sure if there's an option to disable it. --Calibas (talk) 15:33, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Question: Err, why don't you use the usual "save as" diealogue then? -- H005 (talk) 16:19, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
The way Photoshop translates jpegs into the actual image is different than the way web browsers translate the image. There's no standard way to read a jpeg file, so the brightness, contrast and color can vary. The "Save for Web & Devices" option writes the jpeg in a way that web browsers will "see" the image in relatively the same way Photoshop does. So "Save for Web & Devices" usually creates something that looks a lot more like the picture you see in Photoshop than "Save As" does. Compare the two, often they vary quite noticeably. --Calibas (talk) 20:13, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
  • 'save for web' also uses higher compression, resulting in poorer quality. I understand you are worried about how it looks in browsers, but our main concern should be in providing the highest possible quality. --ianaré (talk) 23:09, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Are you sure it's lower quality? The file size at maximum for "save for web..." is actually larger than "save as". I don't think a higher compression would have a larger file size. And even if I did lose a tiny bit of resolution, is not correct color and contrast an important part of image quality? --Calibas (talk) 03:33, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
  • I noticed my images look better on 'save as', but on closer inspection it was other settings that affected them ... In looking at the manual, the only difference is in Exif info being removed in 'save for web'. Both types allow you to embed the ICC color profile, BTW. --ianaré (talk) 16:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, actually I have virtually the same pic showing the entire balloons with all the text, but I find that perspective boring, whereas this one draws some tense out of its incompleteness, which I liked very much. But well, that's a matter of taste, and taste is undebatable, so of course I'm ok if you all think otherwise. -- H005 17:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
@ Slaunger, The "idea with the composition" is that these balloons are so huge that they are even larger than your field of vision, impossible for the eye to catch them completely. But never mind, if this idea doesn't come across to you, it has probably not been a good one. ;-) -- H005 (talk) 21:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi H005, I see your point, and sometimes I also like unusual crops, be it of a face, or some object, and this one is close at getting to me, it catches my eye somewhat, but still leaves an impression of being messy and point-and-shoot-like. I agree with you that just capturing one balloon or two together can easily lead to a quite uninteresting composition as well, so some amount of creativity in capturing it is called upon.

          • just out of curiosity: how did you get your 9mb panos uploaded? This pic here in the original resolution wouldn't even have half the mb-size of your panos.

            • Hehe, I spent hours uploading those and I had faster upload speeds then. Seriously though I spent more than 6 hours to upload this. I like this license because most of my images are also available for sale as stock images and a completely free license would render my sales ineffective and thus I would be unable to buy more equipment and upload better images. This is a win win situation for wiki and for me. --Muhammad (talk) 20:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

                • That license issue is a bogus reason IMO. Equipment is not that expensive. I made 950€ from my pictures which are all on commons under cc-by-sa in the last two years. I'm not using stock sites. You are better than me so you should have even better chances with free licenses. People use images all over the net when the license is not too restrictive (and with attribution → e.g. see here). This is publicity and the odd sale follows. I don't advertise my pictures, but interested parties still find them. Lycaon (talk) 20:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
                  • I don't want to whine but I've already spent app $1500 on equipment and for a student living in a third world country, that is a lot. (Average Tanzanian earns that much in 4-5yrs without expenses). With a restrictive license, rich companies who can afford to spend money, are prevented from exploiting photographers. Attribution is good but at the end of the day I am not gaining anything (apart from a little exposure). For the few earlier images I had released under the cc-by-sa, sure people use them but not one person has been willing to pay, and quite rightly so. If a single line of attribution allows you free use, why not? Sounds like slave labour to me--Muhammad (talk) 21:46, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

  •  Support The focus of some people (not only) in the German Wikipedia is set on free commercial use, an idea which got strong in de since the cooperation with de:Bertelsman, Spiegel and de.wikipedia in the biggest lexical portal in Germany. Since then some of our Wikipedians struggled successfully to forbid the upload of GFDL 1.2 pictures on de.wikipedia. That does not mean, that it is forbidden to use 1.2 photographs from the commons as far as I see. Hundreds of them are used to illustrate articles of de. GFDL 1.2 is a free licence and is only a problem for commercial printers, as far as I see.

    • Those long exposures (5 seconds on the link provided) are actually easier shots to get - but they're entirely a different style and result. This one with 7 shells exploding in a 1/40th of a second exposure is far more difficult to get and takes a fair amount of luck as well. Also, what specifically didn't you like about the crop? I cropped it with intent to preserve the widest shell and aspect ratio. But cropping can be adjusted (such as not worrying about the aspect ratio and cutting more off the sides) if it makes a difference. Ikluft (talk) 00:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
      • With the crop I meant that the whole firework isn't on the photo and there's too much of black area on the sides. —kallerna™ 16:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative

Fireworks in Cameron Park, California on June 27, 2009

OK, I shouldn't have bothered trying to retain the aspect ratio of the original photo. Fair enough - this alternative addresses that. I also encourage reviewers to observe that this is not the same kind of photography as a long-exposure shot of fireworks. As I mentioned above, this is a 1/40th sec exposure with 7 shells in various stages of exploding. The illumination of the smoke clouds from earlier shells shows there is focus and detail. It's in effect an action shot, which is very difficult to get with fireworks. Submitted again for your review... Ikluft (talk) 07:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - This is an excellent encyclopedia illustration of 'simultaneous fireworks'; the smoke clouds contribute to the effect. But for FP a more beautiful (but less accurate) long exposure is more appropriate. A good and useful photo, just not FP. Downtowngal (talk) 22:24, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I know it was a difficult shot to get. But fireworks pics need color, which these shells just don't have. There's no wow. Daniel Case (talk) 04:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
    • FYI, when I downloaded the photos from the camera into the laptop after the show, one of the leaders of the fireworks crew was watching as I stepped through them. For this one, his one word was indeed "Wow!" That was what led me to submit this one. Ikluft (talk) 20:26, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment Since there obviously are white fireworks, color isn't a requirement on its own - the different types of fireworks photography are not better than the others. It distracts the issue to say it isn't a different style. The guidelines say the value of a photo is enhanced by how it adds variety to the collection. I recommend a look through Category:Fireworks to see exposures of more than one second are very well represented, and are the ones that should hardly be considered special. They're analagous to photos of sunsets, which the guidelines address specifically. Ikluft (talk) 07:50, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

    • There is nothing wrong with the GFDL 1.2 and the fact is that it is one of many acceptable licenses allowed on the Commons (Commons:Licensing). This comment is nothing more than a personal opinion that does not belong here and has nothing to do with the rules for evaluating FPs (and could potentially sway other voters incorrectly). If you don't like the license, don't vote. -- Ram-Man 00:32, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
      • My vote is per de:Wikipedia:Lizenzvorlagen für Bilder. Images on Commons should be usable on all wikimdia projects. I didn't oppose because of the good quality of the image, though I can't support for said reason. Lycaon (talk) 06:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
        • That's totally rediculous. There are hardly any images here that qualify under your overly restrictive terms. Since Wikinews uses the CC-by-sa-2.5, only those images that use (or explicitly allow) creative commons licenses (of the correct version) would be acceptable for your standards. Creative Commons licenses are too weak copyleft and they do not adequately defend the rights of copyright holders and provide too easy a way for abuse in violation of the whole purpose of copyleft, which is to increase the number of works available under free licenses. Why don't you just oppose and say "Not a Creative Commons copyleft license or weaker". It has never been the mission of Commons for all images to be useful for all projects, as that is extremely difficult since not all current (and future) projects must conform to the same licensing terms, nor are all images even useful for all projects due to their specific content. The fact that you site a German Wikipedia article has nothing to do with the Commons and further supports my position that this is not a valid argument to make here. Until Commons policy changes to support your opinion, I ask that you withdraw your comments. This is not the proper forum to push your own personal philosophical and/or political opinions on which licenses are the "best". You show great disrespect to those of us who believe in the standards of copyleft and free images but don't happen to agree with you. -- Ram-Man 00:07, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
          • It might have been totally ridiculous if I had opposed. I didn't, I just can't support. Please next time react like this to real opposers. Lycaon (talk) 00:35, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I enjoy them, but I wish we could have an 'Insect Free Month', so that other pictures could be concentrated on. As for your picture, sadly, I don't find a view like this particularly exciting; photos of buildings need something unusual (for example, perspective, colour or setting) too really stand out. This one is a real example of what I like to see. If you like, I can show you a couple of others I think are great; maybe they could inspire you?
