[edit] Leitsätze für die Nominierung
Bitte lies alle Leitsätze (Englisch) vor der Nominierung.
Dies ist eine Zusammenfassung von Kriterien, auf die du bei der Einreichung und Bewertung von Exzellenz-Kandidaten achten solltest:
- Auflösung – Fotografien mit einer Auflösung unter 2 Millionen Pixel werden in der Regel abgelehnt, außer unter „stark mildernden Umständen“. Beachte, dass ein 1600 x 1200 großes Foto 1,93 Megapixel hat und damit weniger als 2 Millionen.
-
- Grafiken auf Commons können auch in andere Weisen als zur Anzeige auf einen herkömmlichen Computerbildschirm verwendet werden. Sie können auch als Ausdruck oder zur Anzeige auf hochauflösenden Bildschirmen verwendet werden. Man kann nicht vorhersagen, welche Geräte in Zukunft Anwendung finden, deshalb ist es wichtig, dass die nominierten Bilder die höchstmögliche Auflösung haben.
- Eingescannte Bilder – solange es keine offizielle Richtlinie gibt, findet man unter Help:Scannen für verschiedene Typen von Bildern Hinweise für die Vorbereitung, die hilfreich sein können.
- Fokus – jedes wichtige Objekt im Bild sollte normalerweise scharf sein.
- Vordergrund und Hintergrund – Objekte im Vorder- und Hintergrund können stören. Kontrolliere, ob etwas vor dem Motiv des Bildes wichtige Elemente verdeckt. Auch soll nichts im Hintergrund die Komposition verderben, zum Beispiel eine Straßenlampe, die über dem Kopf einer abgebildeten Person „steht“.
- Allgemeine Qualität – nominierte Bilder sollten von hoher technischer Qualität sein.
- Digitale Manipulationen betrügen nicht in jedem Fall den Betrachter. Digitale Nachbearbeitungen, um Fehler von Fotografien zu korrigieren, sind allgemein akzeptiert, vorausgesetzt, sie sind begrenzt und gut gemacht, ohne dabei betrügen zu wollen. Akzeptiert werden normalerweise Beschneiden, perspektivische Korrekturen, Schärfen und Verwischen sowie Farb- und Belichtungskorrekturen. Umfangreichere Korrekturen wie das Entfernen von störenden Hintergrundobjekten sollten in der Bildbeschreibung mit Hilfe der Vorlage {{RetouchedPicture}} klar beschrieben werden. Nicht oder falsch beschriebenen Manipulationen, die dazu führen, dass das Hauptmotiv falsch dargestellt wird, sind unter keinen Umständen aktzeptabel.
- Wert – unser Hauptziel ist das Hervorheben der wertvollsten Bilder von allen anderen. Bilder sollten irgendwie etwas Besonderes sein. Darum sei dir bewusst, dass:
- nahezu jeder Sonnenuntergang ästhetisch ansprechend ist und die meisten keinen wesentlichen Unterschied aufweisen zu anderen,
- Nachtaufnahmen hübsch sind, aber dass man normalerweise mit Aufnahmen bei Tag mehr Details zeigen kann,
- schön nicht immer wertvoll bedeuten muss.
Auf der fachlichen Seite gibt es die Belichtung, die Komposition, die Bewegungskontrolle und die Fokustiefe zu beachten.
- Belichtung bezieht sich auf die Verschluss-Blende-Kombination, die ein Bild mit einer Tonkurve wiedergibt. Idealerweise bildet diese Tonkurve in akzeptabler Genauigkeit Schatten- und Spitzlichtbereiche im Bild ab. Dies nennt man „Belichtungsspielraum“. Bilder können im niedrigen Teil der Tonkurve (unterer Bereich), im mittleren (mittlerer Bereich) oder hohen Teil (oberer Bereich) liegen. Digitale Kameras (oder Bilder) haben einen engeren Belichtungsspielraum als Fotofilme. Fehlende Genauigkeit im Schattenbereich ist nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil. Tatsächlich kann dies ein gewünschter Effekt sein. Eingebrannte Spitzenlichter sind dagegen ein störendes Element.
- Komposition bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Elemente im Bild selbst. Die „Drittel-Regel“ ist ein guter Grundsatz für die Komposition und ein Erbe der Gemäldemalerei. Die Idee ist, das Bild mit jeweils zwei horizontalen und zwei vertikalen Linien zu teilen. Dadurch wird das Bild in horizontale und vertikale Drittel geteilt. Das Motiv im Zentrum des Bildes zu platzieren, ist oft weniger interessant, als es auf einem der vier Schnittpunkte der horizontalen und vertikalen Schnittlinien zu platzieren. Der Horizont sollte eigentlich niemals in der Mitte des Bildes liegen, wo er das Bild in zwei Hälften „teilt“. Die obere oder untere horizontale Linie ist oft eine gute Wahl. Der Hauptgedanke ist, den Raum zu nutzen, um ein dynamisches Bild zu schaffen.
- Bewegungskontrolle bezieht sich auf die Weise, wie die Bewegung im Bild abgebildet wird. Die Bewegung kann stillstehend oder verschwommen sein. Weder das eine noch das andere ist besser; es kommt auf den Zweck der Aufnahme an. Bewegung ist relativ innerhalb der Objekte des Bildes. Zum Beispiel vermittelt uns das Fotografieren eines relativ zum Hintergrund stillstehenden Rennwagens kein Gefühl für das Tempo oder die Bewegung. Also zwingt uns die Fototechnik, das Motiv stillstehend vor verschwommenem Hintergrund abzubilden, wodurch ein Gefühl für die Bewegung entsteht. Dies nennt man „Schwenken“. Andererseits kann eine Aufnahme eines im Vergleich zur Umgebung stillstehenden Basketballspielers während eines hohen Sprunges das „Unnatürliche“ der Natur dieser Pose sichtbar machen.
- Fokustiefe (DOF – Depth Of Field) bezieht sich auf den Fokusbereich vor und hinter dem Hauptmotiv. Die Fokustiefe wird abhängig von den spezifischen Erfordernissen jedes Bildes gewählt. Große oder kleine Fokustiefe kann auf die eine oder andere Weise die Qualität der Aufnahme vergrößern oder schmälern. Geringe Fokustiefe kann die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Hauptmotiv des Bildes lenken, das Hauptmotiv erscheint dadurch von seiner Umgebung gelöst. Hohe Fokustiefe bringt Abstände zwischen Motiven zur Geltung. Objektive mit kurzer Brennweite (Weitwinkel) ergeben eine hohe Fokustiefe, umgekehrt haben Objektive mit langer Brennweite (Teleobjektive) eine flache Fokustiefe. Kleine Aperturen bringen große Fokustiefe, und umgekehrt große Aperturen bringen flache Fokustiefen.
Bei den grafischen Elementen gibt es Form, Volumen, Farbe, Struktur, Perspektive, Balance, Proportion, usw.
- Form bezieht sich auf den Umriss des Hauptmotivs.
- Volumen bezieht sich die dreidimensionale Qualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenlicht herausgebildet. Im Gegenteil zum allgemeinen Glauben ist Frontbeleuchtung nicht die beste Wahl. Frontbeleuchtung lässt das Motiv abflachen. Das beste Tageslicht hat man am frühen Morgen oder nachmittags.
- Farbe ist wichtig. Übersaturierte Farben sind nicht gut.
- Struktur bezieht sich auf die Oberflächenqualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenbeleuchtung verbessert.
- Perspektive bezieht sich auf den „Grad“ zusammen mit Linien, die in einen Fluchtpunkt innerhalb oder außerhalb des Bildes enden.
- Balance bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Motive innerhalb des Bildes, die entweder das scheinbar gleiche Gewicht haben oder schwerer auf einer Seite erscheinen.
- Proportion bezieht sich auf die Größenunterschiede der Objekte im Bild. Normalerweise tendieren wir dazu, kleine Gegenstände klein im Vergleich zu anderen darzustellen. Eine gute Methode kann aber sein, kleine Objekte groß im Gegensatz zu wirklichen Größenverhältnissen abzubilden. Zum Beispiel: Eine kleine Blume überwiegt gegenüber einem großen Berg. Dies nennt man Maßstabsinversion.
- Nicht alle Elemente müssen berücksichtigt werden. Einige Fotografien können anhand individueller Eigenschaften beurteilt werden. Für ein Bild kann die Farbe oder die Struktur wichtig sein, oder Farbe und Strukur, usw.
- Symbolische Aussage oder Relevanz…. Der Meinungskrieg kann hier beginnen…. Ein schlechtes Bild von einem sehr schwierigen Motiv ist ein besseres Bild als ein gutes Bild von einem gewöhnlichen Motiv. Ein gutes Bild von einem schwierigen Motiv ist ein außergewöhnliches Foto.
- Bilder können kulturell beeinflusst sein durch den Fotografen und/oder den Betrachter. Die Bedeutung des Bildes sollte vor dem kulturellen Hintergrund des Bildes beurteilt werden, nicht durch den kulturellen Hintergrund des Betrachters. Ein Bild „spricht“ zu Menschen und hat die Möglichkeit, Emotionen auszulösen, wie zum Beispiel Zärtlichkeit, Zorn, Ablehnung, Heiterkeit, Traurigkeit usw. Gute Fotografen sind nicht darauf beschränkt, gefällige Emotionen zu provozieren.
Um die Chancen für einen Erfolg deiner Nominierung zu erhöhen, lies vor der Nominierung alle Leitsätze.

[edit] Richtlinien für Exzellenz-Kandidaten
[edit] Allgemeine Regeln
- Nach dem Ende des Abstimmungs-Zeitraumes wird das Ergebnis am Tag 10 nach der Nominierung festgestellt (im Zeitplan weiter unten gezeigt). Also dauert der Abstimmungs-Zeitraum 9 Tage, plus die Stunden bis zum Ende von Tag 9. Stimmen, die an Tag 10 oder danach abgeben wurden, werden nicht gezählt.
- Nominierungen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
- Mitwirken bei Diskussionen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
- Stimmen von anonymen Mitwirkenden werden nicht gezählt.
- Die Nominierung zählt nicht als Stimme. Unterstützung muss explizit angegeben werden.
- Nominierungen können vom Einsteller jeder Zeit zurückgezogen werden. Dies geschieht einfach durch das Schreiben von „I withdraw my nomination“ (eng. Ich ziehe meine Nominierung zurück)
oder durch Hinzufügen von{{withdraw|~~~~}}. - Denke daran, das Ziel von Wikimedia Commons ist es, einen zentralen Speicher für freie Bilder, genutzt von allen Wikimedia-Projekten, bereitzustellen, einschließlich für mögliche zukünftige Projekte. Dies ist nicht einfach ein Speicher für Wikipedia-Bilder, deshalb sollten hier die Bilder nicht danach beurteilt werden, ob sie zu diesem Projekt passen.
- Bilder werden vorzeitig am Tag 5 (fünfter Tag nach der Nominierung) von der Abstimmungsliste genommen, wenn sie keine Unterstützung erhalten, die Einsteller nicht mitgezählt („Regel des 5. Tages“).
- Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPX}} markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden, vorausgesetzt, das Bild hat außer von den Einstellern keine positiven Stimmen (Unterstützung) erhalten.
[edit] Regeln zur Wahl und Abwahl
Ein Kandidat wird in die Galerie der exzellenten Bilder aufgenommen, wenn folgende Bedingungen erfüllt sind:
- Passende Lizenz (selbstverständlich)
- Mindestens 5 positive Stimmen (Pro-Stimmen)
- Das Verhältnis von unterstützenden zu ablehnenden Stimmen ist mindestens 2/1 (eine Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit)
- Zwei verschiedene Versionen desselben Bildes können nicht beide exzellent werden, sondern nur das mit der höheren Zahl an Stimmen.
Die Abwahl-Regeln sind dieselben wie zur Wahl der exzellenten Bilder bei gleichbleibenden Abstimmungs-Zeitraum. Die Regel des 5. Tages gilt für Abwahlkandidaten, die keine Stimme für die Aberkennung des Exzellenz-Status' bis zum Tag 5 erhalten haben, außer die des Antragstellers.
Ein erfahrener Nutzer kann die Anfrage beenden. Für Anweisung, wie man eine Anfrage beendet, siehe Commons:Kandidaten für exzellente Bilder/Was tun wenn der Abstimmungszeitraum zu Ende ist.
[edit] Vor allem sei freundlich
Bitte bedenke, dass das Bild, das du beurteilst, das wohlüberlegte Werk von jemandem ist. Vermeide Phrasen wie „it looks terrible“ (eng. sieht schrecklich aus) oder „I hate it“ (eng. Ich hasse es). Wenn du dagegen Stellung nehmen musst, tu dies bitte mit Rücksichtnahme. Bedenke außerdem, dass deine Englischkenntnisse nicht die gleichen sein müssen wie die eines anderen. Wähle deine Worte sorgfältig.
Viel Spaß bei Bewerten …, und denke daran: Alle Regeln können gebrochen werden.

Comment It's been a while since we've had a set nomination, and I think all of these pictures are worth promoting. They show some interesting formation flying by VFA-204, the Louisiana-based 'River Rattlers', who fly F/A-18 Hornets and F-15 Eagles.

Info: Photo of an 18-month old Afghan girl who weighed 14 pounds when presented to doctors. Currently the only extant photo for wikipedia articles Telogen effluvium (hair loss due to malnutrition) and, amazingly, malnutrition itself. Exposure is slightly on the high side, resulting on some burn-out on the white packaging materials in the lower right (I stepped the exposure up slightly to avoid using the flash to fill shadows, which the medics felt would be distracting).

Question: How about a crop at the bottom? I'd say that it would be a good idea to crop up until the flag on the shoulder. It would get rid of some overexposed fragments and make the composition less "traditional". Wolf (talk) 12:38, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Seems to help focus more attention on the child, but on the other hand showing the packing materials and medical equipment demonstrated the medical emergency nature of the child's malnutrition. Both have their merits and I support either version. Severnjc (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Question: Could a higher resolution version be made easily? --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:30, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes it would be possible to create the same image in much higer resolution. To be exact, it could be as large until Wikipedia reaches the filesize limit. --Niabot (talk) 00:56, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. Given the nature of fractals, I would like to see a higher resolution version before supporting this. You might also want to consider a lossless image format. --MattiPaavola (talk) 08:59, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Oppose Congratulations for the courage to shoot such an unusual perspective. In terms of sharpness and exposure this is also a good image. However the documentary value is low. Why? We do not see a full capital, it's cropped on the right. The cornice is interrupted on the left bottom. And we do not see an interesting part of the roof construction. The image could be much better when it would focus on one or two architectural elements. --Ikiwaner (talk) 21:35, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

- I do not have friends there, but it is a good idea. Maybe, if I explain to police what I need it for they will help me:) In a meantime I believe I deserve to be awarded with "unfair FPC contributor" barnstar :) BTW here's a side story about police. Once my car was broken into, and my camera was stolen. Few weeks later on the same parking lot I saw two men standing next to the broken window of another car. Except the two men parking lot was deserted, no people only few empty cars here and there, yet the men parked their van right next to the car with a broken window. The glass from the window was on the ground. The break was fresh. When the men saw me they got back to their car, and left. I was able to take few images of them, and their car with my new camera. I went to police, but they explained to me that as long as I did not actually see how they broken that window, nothing could be done about the men. They refused to run any check on them at all. I called my insurance company, the one, who paid for my stolen camera, but they were not interested either--Mbz1 (talk) 16:50, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Oppose Is there any documentation to show that this is indeed an action shot? Anyone familiar with First World War photography field equipment would know that this shot would have been incredibly difficult to do during a battle, especially outside the protection of a trench. No information of which battle, formation or unit involved. The un-restored original certainly appears to be a stereoscopic image, which means two cameras would have been employed to make the unrestored image? I find such a photographic achievement hard to believe. Why has the image been split given its a stereoview? My primary concern is that the image is staged, a common propaganda practice during the First World War (Ex: Image:Going_over_the_top_01.jpg). The lack of back story on the image or any info on the author make validation extremely difficult. If promoted it should be on the basis of it being a staged image nut a battle image.--Labattblueboy (talk) 06:09, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Comment You don't need two cameras to take a stereoscopic view. At that time, they had already stereoscopic cameras (i.e. one camera with two lenses) which were not particularly bigger or heavier than a 'normal' camera. However, that doesn't mean that the image is authentic. In this case it's very difficult to judge whether it is a real battle view or a staged one. -- MJJR (talk) 17:08, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Request: Could you add more info about this picture? Granada is a big city - was this nice shot maybe taken in some part of Alhambra?

Info: This picture was taken in the Alhambra at night in 1970. The camera was a Linhof Technica 4x5 inch, lens f=90 mm, operating at F 11, converted with NIKON D90 in JPEG, it is a detail from sheet film. I already mentioned the original author Hans Bernhard in the Author field, who is my husband. --Schnobby (talk) 14:31, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding the details in the description. I got confused concerning the author since the Permission field says "Reproductions of works by Ingeborg Bernhard".
Neutral This is obviously a very good shot. I'm assuming that the moon was used for backlight and the front is covered with tungsten filament. Taken that into account, the white balance is controlled nicely. The combination of yellow and blue light just add to the image. On the minus side, the crop and the perspective aren't perfect at top right and there is the film grain which, however, is alone in tolerable limits IMO. Therefore, neutral from me. --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:06, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

- Better formulation? I think Alvesgaspar was right, you are somehow disappointed when you discover it´s not a panorama. Any chance of taking one? And as I stated, I´m not decided yet.

Neutral Composition & resolution.

OpposeAn impresive building, but the houses in front distract too much. They are also partially cropped which doesn't help either. It might well be that it is not possible to take a FP which shows this building entirely without using a helicopter since I'm afraid that the composition will collapse if the bottom part is just cropped away from this image.

Comment I am not so sure Greenland is correct. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 07:37, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Support This is a great idea, and beautifully executed. Correlations that I wasn't aware of until now can be seen at a glance, e.g. that most African countries have green as the predominant color in their flags. Greenland is formally a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, so it looks OK to me. True, they have their own flag, but so does Alaska which is also shown with the flag of the "parent state". -- JovanCormac 10:07, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- Although I agree that the Greenlandic flag shouln't replace the Danish, Alaska's relation to the United States is to my knowledge no different from that of any of the other 50 states - Greenland, however, is far more autonomous than any other area (possibly except for the Faeroes) under the Danish crown. --Aqwis (talk) 10:41, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have only shown the national flags here, regardless of how autonomous any of their subdivisions are. --Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Comment, I would suggest replacing the Norwegian flag on Svalbard with a uniform red colour. --Aqwis (talk) 10:45, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- Although this would certainly make it look a lot better, keep in mind that it could be confused with the red of Denmark/Greenland/Faroe Islands. --Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- The status of Svalbard is special - not really Norway. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 09:36, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Still, Norway's surely the most accurate national flag that you could apply to it. Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:37, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Comment I would prefer the sea to be non-white, because it merges with some of the flags. Perhaps a very pale blue? --99of9 (talk) 12:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- The black outlines should not make the ocean a problem. However, if anyone wants to change the ocean to very pale blue (or perhaps very pale grey), someone else will have to do it because the finished file makes my computer lag too much. --Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Support - Clever idea and quality implementation. PS could you make the Finnish flag slightly smaller, the same size as the Swedish flag.--MattiPaavola (talk) 18:15, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- The Finnish flag is bigger than the Swedish one because if you look up the proportions, the Finnish cross is much more thicker. The shapes of the countries are also a factor in how they turned out. --Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, my mistake. After checking the sources, I have to shamely admit that I didn't know my and my neighbor's flags. :-) Thanks for the explanation. --MattiPaavola (talk) 23:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Neutral I'm not convinced by this idea --Leafnode✉ 11:25, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Oppose - the map is inconsistent. It shows Alaska and Greenland the same way, it shows Kosovo but doesn't show Palestine, flag proportions are strictly kept for Finland and Greece but not for Japan and South Korea, no clear criteria over which island nations were included and why etc. So even though the idea is fine there is still a lot of work to do.--Avala (talk) 12:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean by Alaska and Greenland being "the same way", but I'll answer the other points. I have updated the map to reflect a new criteria, which is the UN member countries
plus the Republic of China. As for the proportions, I decided that the designs where the field was distinctly divided into several areas should be kept as close to the original as possible. On the other hand, I decided that the symbol-on-a-background designs could be resized if it would help recognisability. I have added all islands now. Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:37, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Oppose I agree with Avala. What are the criterias about selected countries? --.dsm. 18:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- The UN member countries
plus the Republic of China. Transparent 6lue (talk) 02:01, 17 December 2009 (UTC)- Is Western Sahara the UN member state? Why would you add the Republic of China which has less recognitions than Western Sahara and also why not add Palestine which has more reconigtions than any other state? It's obvious there is no criteria for this map.--Avala (talk) 13:18, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for informing me of the situation, I wasn't sure about how recognised certain places are. In any case, I have taken Takabeg's advice and now the map shows only the UN member states. Also, I'm still confused about your statement that "It shows Alaska and Greenland the same way", could you please clarify what this means and what you would recommend instead? Transparent 6lue (talk) 00:59, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Comment - I recommend you change as the map of Member States of the United Nations. Takabeg (talk) 15:32, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Comment If his is the map of Member States of the United Nations, the name should be "Flag-map of the United Nations member states". Because all recognized states of the world aren't here. --.dsm. 14:55, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Conditional support - When did Morocco annex Western Sahara ? When did People's Republic of China annex Republic of China ? I think they must be shown in white (blank map). Takabeg (talk) 08:07, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- The UN's official position (to the best of my knowledge) is that Taiwan is part of the People's Republic of China, and that Western Sahara is part of Morocco. Also, if I changed those two to white, it'd start up arguments and debates about which places should be white and which ones shouldn't (for example Palestine, Kosovo etc.). So, although there is no perfect solution to the problem of "which countries should be shown on this map, and how?", the current version seems to provoke the least arguing so it's probably the closest to "perfect" that it can get. Feel free to suggest any more improvements, though. Transparent 6lue (talk) 00:38, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Oppose It really is much too noisy, consider using lower ISO than 1600. I suppose you used a tripod, why didn´t you take ISO 100 and a long exposure time? Nikopol (talk) 23:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- I guess, you've never taken a picture of a meteor.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn´t realise the meteor is the important thing, must have somehow skipped this part of the explanation. But IMO the capture of the meteor does not quite make up for that amount of noise. Nikopol (talk) 23:46, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

- Hi Nikopol, just check the date when this photograph was taken: 22 October 2007. As you can check out from this table, Mbz1 apparently planned this photograph carefully by journeying to the Death valley exactly when an Orionid shower was to be expected and where, given the extremely dry air and the absence of artificial light, you get fine conditions for photographing the night sky. Given the speed of the meteors, the selection of ISO 1600 (at an exposure time of 8s) sounds quite sensible to me. --AFBorchert (talk) 00:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- When I was taking the images I was mostly thinking about capturing as many meteors as possible even very faint ones because the images are used for recerch. I used fisheye in order to capture as much sky as possible. The lens aperture is 3.5. To capture faint meteors with such a lens and such an aperture I should have used ISO 1600. I did not care about noise. My bad, how I forgot about FPC
That's OK I should have learned a long time ago never to nominate for FPC something that is special to me :)--Mbz1 (talk) 00:47, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
