Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:18, 23 October 2017 (UTC)- Support - I thought I remembered your nominating a similar picture before, but anyway, I think this composition is an FP, and it's sharp enough for me to be fine with it. I'm not sure what the right category is, but "Food and drink" isn't right. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:01, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

- Support Interesting scene, well captured. Camera lens tests would be improved if they photographed this scene rather than some boring test chart. "The hypertension pills are extremely sharp, the anti-fungals are acceptable, but the anti-histamines are soft, and the lens needs stopping down to bring them up to acceptable levels.". Actually, I'm impressed the corners are reasonable sharp given you shot this at f/1.8. I think you could have stopped down a bit and used a slower shutter -- the boxes aren't going anywhere! -- Colin (talk) 07:15, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Comment It would certainly be funny to see camera lens reviewers set up tripods in the pharmacy aisle. However it won't be a great test for lens sharpness since you can't test at infinity distance and it's hard to evaluate chromatic aberration correction with fluorescent lights that have a highly uneven spectrum. dllu (t,c) 17:54, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review @Colin: . I requested permission to use a tripod, however this was not accepted. This was a small and very busy pharmacy. I take 42 photographs with my technique of shooting without breathing. It was the main shelf and there were a lot of people so I had to stay there until people got out of the way. This type of ridiculously monotonous simple and excessively ordered photos is the classic example of my favorite FP style. I think that in many users here we are compulsively ordered and we focus on collecting things to fill our social gaps, this kind of apparently harmless but exaggerated order. --The Photographer 23:30, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
- Oh I don't think a tripod was needed here. According to the EXIF, you shot at 1/250s at 35mm (equivalent to 50mm on full frame). So two stops down would be f/3.5 which you could have hand-held (especially if taking several shots to be sure) at 1/60s. I like your ordered photos, and it is not easy to get such a scene exactly straight hand-held. I'm finding the new "guided adjustment" tool in Lightroom to be very helpful and faster than manually moving the sliders and judging by eye. Btw, dllu, most test charts don't test anywhere near infinity, which is a problem for all but a portrait lens. The folk at Lens Rentals test at infinity, and always wide open, which I think is a bit daft -- it over emphasises the problems between lenses (which is why they do it in their repair shop) but doesn't really tell you how the lens performs at normal apertures, and testing a macro lens at infinity is just silly. There's no perfect system, but a retail test chart could be more fun! -- Colin (talk) 08:05, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Oppose Interesting scene? This? ...nothing of Interesting for me. (No wow) --LivioAndronico (talk) 06:33, 26 October 2017 (UTC)- Oppose Per Livioandronico. And this is surely not "food and drink" --A.Savin 12:42, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I love patterns and I'm a big fan of The Photographer's work but I am not terribly impressed by this. Compared to File:Convenience Store Shelf, Tokyo 2014.jpg, the colours, framing, and white balance of this picture are much better. However, the individual labels are quite homogeneous and boring. All the "Medicamento Generico" labels are the same, unlike the Tokyo grocery store where each label has different artwork. dllu (t,c) 17:54, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Technically faultlessly. But it is too monotonous. Sorry --KSK (talk) 10:11, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
