- Info Josselin Castle. Renominated due to a mistake where my friend Benh uploaded (from Flickr) an image I wanted to upload myself for WLM FR. I've adjusted the colour/contrast a bit after feedback on the original image. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 17:26, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

- Comment The buildings seem to tilt back. Can you correct it? -- Spurzem (talk) 17:43, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- What you call tilt is a natural visual effect produced by the angle of view over the lake reflection --The Photographer (talk) 17:51, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Spurzem, the towers taper slightly and some of the windows are wonky. They are 15th century fortifications. The reflection is vertically aligned with the castle, so I think I'm true to what is there. -- Colin (talk) 19:19, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

- Support - It's beautiful, and I'm happy to support. I'm curious what WLM FR is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:59, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Neutral Nice light and detail, but composition is imho unbalanced (almost half of the image is empty) and sky is partly overexposed. --Ivar (talk) 18:03, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ivar, a hot air balloon in the top right would balance things! It isn't easy to choose an angle of view with reflection. This image is nearly straight on and I suspect taken from a window in the hotel opposite, and suffers from distortion due to the wide angle-of-view. And this image was taken further along the river from the opposite direction. (That latter photo seems to benefit from flood lighting that seems to no longer be there -- I waited for the blue-hour but only tiny street lights came on). I disagree the sky is over-exposed - none of it came close to being over-exposed, but it was very bright near the horizon at that exact time of day (earlier it was more evenly blue, and later less saturated+darker). -- Colin (talk) 19:19, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- Support I disagree with Ivar. Sky does not appear overexposed to me. Charles (talk) 10:54, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
- Support per my previous review : nice light and composition with the reflection on the water. And @Colin: sorry you had to fix this yourself. - Benh (talk) 18:44, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

- Support Lovely subject and very well done. @Colin: How could you use the 50mm lens on your crop camera with the NN3MkII? As far as I know the rotator supports 50mm lenses at full frame cameras at max, doesn't it? --Code (talk) 06:51, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Code: Sorry to steal Colin's spot. Not sure I fully get ur question, but my guess is that you look at Colin's setup to produce a 80mm equivalent which shouldn't work on the NN3MkII. But the lense itself remains a 50mm, so not an issue. I think it's all clearer when you think of it as taken with a FF 50mm and only cropped to 80mm in post - Benh (talk) 10:09, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Benh: I thought about the field of view which is wider at 50mm on a FF camera than on an APS-C. I think the normal rotator of the NN3MkII hasn't enough clicks (see here: "Lenses: 8mm - 50mm focal length"). --Code (talk) 10:23, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- My 50mm lens is equivalent to 75mm on FF camera. According to FoV tables (looking at the DX columns, which match my crop Sony sensor), the 50mm lens has a vertical FoV of 17.7° (which is the horizontal FoV in portrait mode). The NN3MkII has several brass rings for various degree-step detents and the finest is 15°, giving a 2.7° overlap (about 18% overlap, which when I measured a picture is correct). I took File:City from One Bishops Square.jpg at 15° horizontal intervals. It is just enough. However, usually I prefer more overlap. It lets me fix up the panorama afterwards if there is more redundancy. For this image, I simply paused the horizontal rotator midway between the 15° detents. I did the same for File:Tower Bridge from London City Hall 2015.jpg. I've even used a telephoto zoom lens at 100mm for this photo, stopping roughly every 5°. I think Fanotec only recommend up to 50mm lens (on full frame camera) because the next standard prime is 85mm, which would have a 16.1° FoV that is just too tight at 15° intervals. One can actually reverse the brass disc to its blank side with no detents at all, and go by the 5° markings or judge by eye. -- Colin (talk) 11:43, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you, Colin, that makes sense to me (sounds like a difficult job, though). --Code (talk) 14:04, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Code: Ah got it now. Never an issue for me either ; I don't use these click discs :) and rely on live view + overlap grid instead. - Benh (talk) 20:15, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Support of course --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:19, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

- Support Congrats. A pity the Rohan flag is not visible... I hope you enjoyed your stay in Morbihan !--Jebulon (talk) 13:39, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Jebulon. The lack of wind for the flag was a help for the water I suppose. We had fabulous weather despite your doubts. And no midges, which makes a change from our usual holiday destination. A Eurostar strike nearly ruined the start of the holiday, but fortunately it seems those striking were surplus to requirements, and our train was unaffected. I was rather concerned to see several restaurants offer filet de colin! I can think of a few people on Commons who would like to see that dish. -- Colin (talk) 14:08, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
- Funny indeed. But the name "colin" is known as for parisians or tourists. The real name along the atlantic coast is "merlu". In my native city (La Rochelle, your next trip to France...), if you go to the fishmarket and ask for a "colin", you will be served as a parisian, if you ask for a "merlu", you will be served as a "normal local person". The players of the local FC Lorient have "les Merlus" as nickname.--Jebulon (talk) 14:30, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
