[edit] Your Camera

I have noticed that your pictures are really nice quality, I was wondering what camera you use. Please email me your answer at indybird(underscore)halo180(at)yahoo(dot)com. Thank you, Nick

Nick, firstly several general points: don't put new entries at the top because if you look at the dates below each entry you'll see that new stuff goes at the bottom (so I've moved it to here), also users don't answer by email because other people like to see the answers, and finally NEVER give your email address clearly, disguise it (as I've done for you) because spammers will find it and your email spam could go up a lot. Now to the answer:-
Most of my pics are from an Olympus C750UZ digital compact (takes great pics but is no longer on the market), a few are from a Canon S3 IS digital compact (I'm very unhappy with this camera because of purple fringing) and now my very recent aircraft pics are from a most excellent Nikon D50 digital SLR using a Nikon 18 to 200mm telephoto lens. There's an easy way to tell what camera I used, just click on the pic in the article and it usually says at the bottom (but not always because a degraining program I used to use destroys the EXIF data which contains the make of camera, exposure, shutter speed etc). - Arpingstone 19:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Most excellent Britannia image

Just a word of thanks. Even the outfits on the people in the foreground are noteworthy, IMHO. Maury Markowitz 23:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - Arpingstone 18:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] London

Hello! Just saw your photo of London's guard. It's amazing! Your other photos are also really cool! You're fantastical photographer! With best wishes from Ukraine, Dasha

.....and thanks from England - Arpingstone 18:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PIA Boeing 773/Ers and Provincial Tails

Hi, as you are based at LHR, Pakistan Intl operates its Boeing 773/ERs there and some provincial tail aircraft too (AP-BHX). I was hoping if you could add more PIA photographs to Wiki Commons. Thankyou. --82.44.219.75 01:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Caen Hill Locks

That's a bl**dy nice picture Adrian! Well done. I love it, Regards, Long-dead ex-user 138.37.199.206 22:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I love such nice messages. Bless you - Adrian - Arpingstone 08:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Singapore b747-400 9v-spa arp.jpg

Hi Arpingstone! (Once again) you uploaded a great picture, however, can you add source and license information? Thanks! --Matt314 19:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, as I think you realised the omission was an oversight. Thanks for letting me know - Arpingstone 11:26, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] landing or takeoff?

landing or takeoff?

Hi Adrian, are you sure this plane is landing. I'm pretty sure this must be a takeoff. --JuergenL 16:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Apologies for the mistake, yes it was taking off. I've corrected the Image Description. I can't imagine how I came to get it wrong! Best Wishes from Adrian - Arpingstone 16:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Computer image

Hello. The image more appears to depict a typical table set up with technology, rather than your "three gigahertz personal computer", most of which is out of the picture at the bottom right of the image. -Mardus 04:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC) (reply at my Talk)

Depends on whether the reader regards "computer" as the entire set up or just the tower, and it depends on the subject of the article the pic is in (none, in this case). So I'm not clear what point you're making. Best Wishes - Arpingstone 23:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I referred to the image description, which somewhat appears to misrepresent image contents. Granted, the computer can be seen at the bottom right, but someone who doesn't know anything about computers and who hasn't seen computers before might as well understand the computer to be either of the devices on the table or all of the devices on the table.
On another note, it's really nice that you place your images in the public domain. -Mardus 09:38, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


Thanks for raising the point. I'll change the Image Description to make things clearer - Arpingstone 15:57, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Contrail pic

[edit] Contrail photo

I plan to use your photo of contrails in a textbook I'm writing on atmospheric thermodynamics. I will of course credit it to you .... thanks for putting it in the public domain, which greatly simplifies my job! [| Gpetty ]

It's great when pics of mine can be put to educational use. Thanks a lot for using it - Arpingstone 23:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Columbia 400

[edit] Colombia picture

Hi! The Rubicon here, how did that particular Columbia 400 make it across the pond? I live in Oregon, I just fly 172s but oh to fly my states most pretty creation. I know it has a huge range, but did it fly across the pond to England? Or was it shipped?

I came across this aircraft while photographing at an airfield about 20 miles from where I live. So I'm sorry but I don't know its story. Best Wishes - 77.102.247.155 17:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Great aviation pictures!

Are you on airliners.net? Jawed 00:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Sort of! Years ago I got 7 pics on a.net at:
[1]

but at the time I had only an Olympus compact so I had too many rejections and gave up loading to a.net. Now that I have a Nikon D50 DSLR I still find the a.net standards too high (relative to the amount of time I'm willing to spend on post-processing) so I will have just those 7 for ever. Thanks for asking, Best Wishes - Arpingstone 22:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] = Qantas Approaching Heathrow =

Quote: "A Qantas Boeing 747-400 (registration unknown) approaching runway 23L at London Heathrow Airport, England. The houses are in Myrtle Avenue, at the south east corner of the airport", picture image:qantas b747 over houses arp.jpg.

G'day Adrian.

Runway 23 is now only a taxiway so i am pretty sure you mean runway 27L and the photo of Myrtle street does not match up with the image in Google Earth with only three home's in between the tree and the end of the street, not four.

Looking forward to your reply.....Have a great day, Farceur.

You are right, the runway should have been 27L. I can't imagine how I made the mistake considering that I've been to Heathrow 23 times in the last 5 years (I live 100 miles away). The road is most definitely Myrtle Avenue (not Myrtle Street). I know it very well indeed, so you are viewing Google Earth wrongly somehow. I'm off to Heathrow again in about 10 hours time and, with west winds, there's every chance I'll be at Myrtle! Best Wishes - Arpingstone 22:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cheltenham Town Hall

Hi Adrian

Thanks for your reply re Devizes (Caen Hill flight). You're very welcome. I do think we need to thank people for excellent work sometimes! :)

I cannot remember if I have asked you this before so please forgive me if it is a duplicate request. (Memory like a sieve.) I "borrowed" your excellent Cheltenham Town Hall image for a piece here:

http://strawberryyog.blogspot.com/2007/07/gig-blog-dvorak-thon-cheltenham-town.html

and did credit you - I hope this is OK? If no, please yell, and if yes, thanks!

With best wishes from a long dead ex-user: 138.37.199.206 11:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I love to see my pics used, so go ahead and use of them as you wish. Best Wishes - Arpingstone 19:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
That's great, thank you very much. Best wishes 138.37.199.206 09:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 777 crash at LHR

Hi Arpingstone,

Some crazy event in your very own back yard today. Did you go to take a peek? I wonder what the final determined cause will be. If the double-engine failure (that is the current speculation on A.net) was due to a pure software failure, that would be pretty scary! Jawed 05:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it was weird to look at a crash on the TV showing an area of Heathrow I know very well. However, because of the dull weather here, and the probable traffic congestion and closed roads, I decided not to go there. But I have added a pic of a similar B777 (G-YMMD, a -200ER) to the crash article at en:British Airways Flight 38. I'm hoping the cause will be a simultaneous bird strike on both engines but I haven't seen any reports of birds being seen around, so that cause seems unlikely. The preliminary report will be out in a few days. Thanks for writing - Arpingstone 09:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Alitalia md-82 i-dacz planform arp.jpg

more image area now...

A few things, I saw an aircraft like this over my head a few months ago and had a discussion about how they aren't being used like they were when I was much younger. The photograph is great, and I made it a little bigger (like there is less of a crop). I wanted to let you know in case you would rather revert it.

And in a completely different direction, I was laughing while doing some research for a weed that grows in England. The documentation that was available to me made it sound like the son of the first head botanist at the Oxford Botanical Garden got kind of angry when his dad died and threw a lot of the seeds the dad had been keeping out into the land. In that same document, there was a quote from a later botanist who said that he watched the seeds from the plant I was writing about board the train in Oxford and get off in Tilehurst. It was kind of funny stuff to read in the middle of all of the biology, formal descriptions and stuff. I thought about taking that trip by train myself and linked to the google map in the article: en:Senecio squalidus.

I even put photographs of the train stations into the category with the little invader: Category:Senecio squalidus.

So... I was also wondering if there were any photographers from England who are active and might take a few photographs of this 'garden thug'. It should be blooming from April through November there (maybe even in March).

Mostly, thanks for the photograph and revert it if you think it best to. -- carol 08:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your most excellent pic change, I agree that I had clipped it too hard and that yours looks much better.
(this next para is my mistake, please ignore it. I thought you had set a px in the actual article). Incidentally I have removed the 242px in the code, it's now WP policy to not include px values (except in rare cases) so that the reader can set their own value in Prefs, depending on the width of their monitor. For example, my screen is 1680px wide so I need the max pic size available in Prefs which is 300px. Someone with, say, a 1000 pixel wide screen will find that too big. The default if Prefs is not set is 180px.
The only reason that I set the pixels for that thumbnail was because I wanted to trigger a redraw of the thumbnail -- it was purely a mechanically inspired decision. -- carol 01:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know anything about the weed and don't recall seeing it around Bristol where I live, but I will look out for it - Best Wishes, and thanks again, from Adrian - Arpingstone 09:21, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I fully admit to never reading any of the licenses I have been using for the last decade -- what I read on the GFDL-retouched template was that it was for images that had been in the public domain. Another thing that I have noticed here at commons is that several images are licensed with several licenses.
I am curious what you know about licensing or what your concerns/thoughts are or perhaps what your experience is with this. -- carol 01:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
First, apologies for the long delay in replying. I understand nothing about licencing simply because I have no need to:-) I'm happy to let the world use my pics in any way whatever so I put the template {{PD-user|Arpingstone}} on the Image Description page and the phrase Photographed by Adrian Pingstone in (insert date here) and placed in the public domain.
That's it. No complications, no worries! Of course, I can only do that because I only use pics taken with my own cameras. If other people's pics or other sites pics are used then that's another matter (about which I wish to know nothing!) Best Wishes from Adrian - Arpingstone 09:32, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I have seen 'a few hours' take more than a week here, so no worries :)
I found another image of yours after I removed it from its position of 'honor' on the English wikipedia page for Senecio. I opted instead for an scan of an old botany page painting of Senecio vulgaris. My goal there was to put images of Senecio that have articles. Also, now that I know your camera points down sometimes.... -- carol 13:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pakistan International Airline Pics

Hi Arpingstone,

Firstly a big appreciation to all your work on Wiki. You have truly done an amazing job and your photographs are really stunning. I just have a small request, i know someone above has already asked for some above, I was wondering if you could get some of PIA Boeing 777-300 series photographs I could use for the PIA article on Wikipedia. Many Thanks --Fast track 00:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your nice comments, much appreciated. I would love to take some PIA pics but whenever I go to Heathrow they don't seem to take off or land. But I'll remember your request and hope a 777 appears next time I go (but that won't be for a month). Best Wishes - Arpingstone 22:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
No problem! Keep the LHR pics coming. Ok, I checked the PIA Timetable, here is the general place to see which aircraft PIA is sending into LHR [2]. Scroll down to "London, UK" and you will see the aircraft used. It seems like the Lahore and Islamabad services will be getting regular flights into LHR with B773. --Fast track 02:55, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your Picture AA

Hi Arpingstone! Perhaps you're interested in : here's an article [3] in a german daily boulevard-newspaper, decorated with your wonderful picture (Image:American.airlines.b777.arp.jpg). It's about a flight of an AA-plane with only five passengers from Chicago to London.... —waisting fuel—  ;-) Greetings from Bonn, Germany --Sir James 07:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

It was thoughtful of you to let me know about the use of my American Airlines pic. Thanks again - Arpingstone 16:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editing my images

Hi, Arpingstone,
May I please ask you, if you edit my images please upload your edits to new versions and do not overwrite my originals. The thing is that I use my images at my web site and I do not feel it is the right thing to do to use the images, which were edited by somebody else. In any case I'd like to keep my original images for my own record. Thank you.--Mbz1 01:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

There's no way of answering if you don't tell me which pictures you are talking about - Arpingstone 15:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Here's one I found
Contrail and tsunami warning sign.jpg
. BTW may I please ask you,if you know how that shape of contrail came about? Thank you.--Mbz1 16:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry but although I was an Aerodynamicist (before I retired) my work was on Airbus wing design so I have no knowledge of contrail shapes. On the subject of my modifying your original pictures then you are wrong. I do not ever overwrite the original as you know because you were able to revert my correction of the slope on the contrail pic in the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail. Had I overwritten the original you could not have done that reversion! Incidentally I find it puzzling you prefer the reader of the Contrail article to see a sloping picture as against an upright picture. There's no shame in accepting a correction, after all you could have made that correction so easily before you did the upload. Best Wishes - Arpingstone 21:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
You did change my original image. If one uploads the image with the same name, one gets a warning: A file with this name exists already, please check Image:Contrail and tsunami warning sign.jpg if you are not sure if you want to change it. I reverted your change after I saw it, but for quite some time your edit was displayed at my web site. As I said before I do not care, if my images are edited and I do not care, if these edits are put to the articles instead of my originals, but I would like to keep my originals in my user galleries, if you do not mind. I'd also like to mention that I kind of feel sorry for people, who could see only "amateur-looking slope" in an interesting image. BTW I am an amateur.--Mbz1 21:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I am puzzled by your statement that "you did change my original image. If one uploads the image with the same name, one gets a warning: A file with this name exists already, please check Image:Contrail and tsunami warning sign.jpg". Obviously that filename exists because it's WP policy that image re-edits (say for tilt or lack of contrast) should be uploaded under the SAME filename. I haven't time tonight to look for the policy statement but I've read it many times. No harm is done because the previous version remains in the list on the Image Description page. The previous uploader can then, if the edit is disliked, revert (as you have done, in order to restore the tilt). What I am not going to do is go against WP policy and change the filename, there's no point (from my point of view) because the previous version is preserved.
I think you are saying that my version of the pic then appears on this other website because you are taking pics for the other site off Commons. If my changes are appearing on the other website there's nothing I can do. I suppose you'd have to rename your original and use that new name in the website. I'm not going to violate WP policy just for you because I've edited (mostly for tilts) hundreds of pics (I repeat, in strict accordance with WP policy) and have never received a complaint.
Remember that to me it's just a Commons picture, I could not know that you have another site, I have followed WP policy on re-uploaded pictures, and this problem has never arisen in the 5 years I've been working with pictures. Commons does not host your original and my edit, under different names. That might be helpful for you, but it's not policy.
I think only a change of policy to require edited pics to be uploaded under a new name would solve your problem. Apologies if I've misunderstood your problem in anything I've written here. Arpingstone 23:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Here's the quote from the Commons policy:
Taste may differ
Remember that taste between users may differ. What some users consider a an improvement to an image may be considered by some a mutilation. It may therefore sometimes be advisable to upload improvements as separate files instead of overwriting the original and link to the modified version in the other versions field of the description template.

Please also accept my apologies, if I said something wrong. Best regards.--
Mbz1 01:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Deep apologies, I had not seen that quote. Nevertheless it still leaves a problem where the other person is using a Commons picture somewhere else but wants their version to appear in that other place. What I can't do is change the filename everytime I edit a picture because it's a longer procedure, and one problem arising in five years is not reason enough to do so. Nevertheless I feel a complete fool for not being aware of that quote and will try to be more aware of the proper policy details in the future. I have just seen your galleries and they are stunning! I promise that I will not alter any picture by you in the future. My very best wishes - Arpingstone 09:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • There's really no need for any apologies. You just did what you believed was the best for the image and I should have had thank you for doing this.Best wishes.--Mbz1 15:41, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the "ludicrous ruling"

Hi Adrian!

About your post-deletion comments at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Pompidou centre paris arp,jpg.jpg:

Utterly ludicrous ruling (I took the picture). But sadly there is nothing I can do about it.

I certainly do not doubt, and nor did anyone else, that you took this photo. Unfortunately, there are laws in place in many countries which say that taking a photograph of original architecture creates a derivative work of that copyrighted architecture, and so any photo of it would be a copyright violation. France is among many countries with such (in my view, very absurd) rules, and we're bound to respect the laws of the country in which the photo is taken.

tl;dr it wasn't an absurd ruling on the administrator's part to delete this; we don't get to decide the law, alas. :/

I wonder if it's OK to take pictures in Rhyl, Llandudno, Cowlyn Bay and Chester in June. I hope the architects are not alive!!!!

You're fine here. On this count, Britain has some of the most liberal laws in the world.

Also, don't take any of this personally. For what it's worth, you have much really excellent material here on Commons and you're a huge asset to us. :) So keep up the good work. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 06:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] River Avon

Hi. First off, you have taken some brilliant photographs of Bristol. However, in the blurb for some of them you seem to imply that the floating harbour was a manmade course of the River Avon. Actually, the floating harbour follows the natural path of the river, it is the more direct one along by the Asda in Bedminster that was man-made. Apologies if I'm just reading your comments wrong. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:40, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Apologies, I had always (in error) thought the opposite to what you tell me! I'll look over my pic captions and correct them if necessary. Thanks for letting me know - Arpingstone 16:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
No problem. Oh, and I transwikied Image:Bristol harbour arp 750pix.jpg for you. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vickers Valiant

Valiant at Filton. This would have been taken at Filton Air Show June? 1962.

Assuming you are referring to the camouflaged ground pic, I have no note of when I took it and no way of finding out. If you are confident it was 1962 then I'll add that to the picture information and to the pic caption. How confident are you? - Arpingstone (talk) 14:25, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Westminster Cathedral

dear Sir,

thank you for your contribution Image:Westminster.cathedral.mosaic.london.arp.jpg. Do you have any more images of Westminster Cathedral that you would be willing to share? More uploads would be most welcome, thank you. sincerely Gryffindor (talk) 00:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Awesome

Hi again. I saw this on the latest files. Just a note to tell you it's an awesome shot. :) Cheers, Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 17:59, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

That is nice. -mattbuck (Talk) 18:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks guys, your comments are very appreciated. That shot was taken at Kemble Airfield, about 25 miles from where I live. The components of the RAF Role Demo did a fly through before they began their display. The E-3 is a sedate aircraft so it was fairly easy to capture a sharp pic. A few moments later the Tornados were flying around flat out and sharp pics got much harder! I'm working (slowly) on adding the Kemble pics, a static Sea Hawk next. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 19:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hillman Imp photo

Hello
I found this photo you'd taken: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Hillman.imp.arp.750pix.jpg I wonder if you took any other photos on that occasion? Specifically, did you take a photograph of the turquoise Imp next to the main subject? I'm interested because it's an unusual colour and I'm wondering it it's the same car that's been sitting outside my house for the past two years.
Thank you, Freima

Hi Freima! Sorry, I've looked back at my photos from that show and the turquoise Imp does not appear at all. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk)

[edit] Bristol Image

Adrian: I downloaded your Bristol Museum image and would like to use it on my website. I see you put it into the Public Domain. If this is not ok please let me know. Your image will appear at www.giceegalleryprints.com. The site should be active by the weekend.Thanks, Jim Davis

[edit] Jet and Piston Provost Image at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAC_Jet_Provost

Adrian,
I am in the process of finishing off a book on the JP and wondered if I may use your splendid photograph, duly credited to you and a free copy? I am on WIKI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Clarke_%28Historian%29
Best wishes Bob

Yes, I would be delighted if you used the photo. I make all my pictures Public Domain so that others can use them freely. I took it at Kemble Airport (used to be called Kemble Airfield but has mysteriously acquired the title Airport although it has no scheduled and no charter services!). I took it at the 2008 Open Day, when they got both aircraft in the air. The two did 2 full circuits of the field so this was not merely one flying past the other! My hobby is aviation photography, I have a low-range Nikon D50 DSLR.
I would love to have a copy of your book so I will email you my address via your personal website. Incidentally I have a connection with the University of Bath, where I note that you lecture. I got a B.Sc in Electrical Engineering from Bath while the Claverton Down campus was still a building site. So I did my degree studies at Bristol College of Science and Technology (in Muller Road, Horfield) and got my degree in 1966. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 09:42, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright clearance

Please may we have copyright clearance for the use of the RED ARROWS images outlined above for a BECTA education project. Thank you,

Yes, go ahead and use any of my images, anywhere you like, in any way you like. They are all Public Domain so I have relinquished my copyright on them. It would be nice if you acknowledged my name but that's not a requirement. Incidentally, there are no "images outlined above" but it doesn't matter. (I have moved your request from the top of this Talk Page to the bottom, where new stuff goes). Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 19:26, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photograph of the Lifeguards:

Regarding this image:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/Ceremony.lifeguard.london.arp.jpg
There has been some question on the James Blunt website as to whether he is one of the riders. I notice that Wikipedia states that this photograph was taken in 2005 which would make this impossible. Could you please clarify this for us? On another note I wish to comment on how lovely your photographs are. Thank You!

Thanks for the compliment! I can tell you the exact details of that photo - I took it while on a holiday in London at 1.27pm on June 12th 2005. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 19:52, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Morris 1100 photo

Hi from New Zealand. I'm intrigued by your photo at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_1100 called 1966.morris.1100.arp.jpg (the second one down with the lady in it). Was that an Australian Morris 1100? As far as I know only 1100s manufactured in Oz used the over-riders on the bumpers, although it is always possible that the one in your photo had bumpers fitted from a Riley or a Wolsley. As an owner of an Australian made Morris 1100 (originally bought by my grandfather in 1967) I find this interesting. Cheers Minorhistorian (talk) 09:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I've discovered that Spanish 1100s had the over-riders as well, which proves that it is possible to learn new things in Wikipedia. Minorhistorian (talk) 21:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Greetings from England. The grey 1100 in the picture was bought by my wife-to-be 5 years before I met her. We met in 1976 and married in 1977. Because I had a car as well (Hillman Avenger) we sold that 1100. She only remembers that she bought it from a dealer here in Bristol so I doubt it could have been Australian. Sorry I can't enlighten you further, Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 18:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Winglet picture

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I plan to use your picture of a Boeing 747-400 winglet in my Swedish textbook on aerodynamics for PPL & UL pilots. I will give you credit with your name next to the picture. Thanx for putting it in the public domain !!

Update: I'll also use your picture of the Grob TMG. Thanx again !! Second update: I'll also use your p51 Mustang picture. Once again thanx !!

You are very welcome, and thanks for letting me know - Arpingstone (talk) 09:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Update 16 feb 2009: I just wanted to tell you that the book is now completed and printed. I gave you the credit by putting your name next to the pictures. The book will be sold through the webshop at www.ksab.net, starting this week. THANK YOU for your 3 pictures.

[edit] More photos of an abandoned church in Bristol?

Do you have any pictures of the abandoned church in the bottom right corner of your River.avon.from.balloon.bristol.arp.jpg picture? I stumbled across the church when I was roaming around Bristol last spring but I didn't have my camera with me. I don't even remember the name of it. Cecelia, Atlanta, GA,US

Yes, I have a good picture of that church (Saint Peters), also taken from a balloon. I can't get the picture ready for you to see at the moment but I'll do so in the next 12 hours. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 09:34, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] bristol roundabout

Hi Adrian

I am preparing a technical guidance note on the design of roundabouts with traffic signals and would like to use your excellent image of the Bristol roundabout on the cover. It will have to be cropped to fit. Some of the road markings at that site do not comply with official guidance and I would need to make some minor digital editing to avoid it appearing that non standard practice is being encouraged. I know that you have put the image in the public domain but I would just like your confirmation that this includes making minor changes to the image.

Thanks in advance

David Overton

Thanks for writing, Yes, public domain does mean that you are free to modify that image in any way you like including changing the markings. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 16:09, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picasso triggerfish in en:Triggerfish article

Hi Adrian,

I am looking for some pictures for aquarium signs and wondering if I could use your fabulous picture of a picasso triggerfish. Please email me on (email address removed) Thank you Olivia

Hi Olivia!! Yes, you are very welcome to use that pic (part of the Gallery in the article), or any other pic of mine, in any way and anywhere you want. Just right click the largest version of the picture and Save. Two small points: answers are given right here and not in an email because then others can see my reply, which might be useful or interesting to them, also I have removed your email address because spam harvesting programs will be delighted you didn't disguise it!

[edit] Crossed paths

Hi Adrian,

You might be interested to look at my KB-50 image

KB-50 Refuelling.jpg

which I have recently dug out of my old photos and digitised. I thought: I'll put that up on the en:B-50 Superfortress page, for it's quite fun, only to see your image!

Refuelling.750pix.jpg

It looks as if we were at the same event and I'd guess you clicked the shutter just a few secs after I did, with the Destroyer almost engaged. Of course, it's possible the quartet visited several Battle of Britain Shows that afternoon (I was at Waterbeach and it was 14 Sept 1963). Any recollections of the place? Best.TSRL (talk) 10:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Thats interesting!! Sadly, I have no date or place for that photo except that it was southern England. Your picture is VERY superior to mine so do please change mine to yours (and remove the reference to my pic on your Image Description page). Thanks for writing, Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 18:34, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your picture of the helicopter of the Indian Air Force

Hi Adrian,
I was looking for a nice picture of a helicopter for a April Fools' day joke in our regional magazine (distribution est. 5600). I came across your IAF helicopter and decided to use that. I will show up (in dutch) as well on www.belhaofke.nl from end of March 2009. You are mentioned as the photographer. Cheers, Mark Penders - Maastricht, The Netherlands

Thanks for using the photo and thanks for letting me know. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Swan Photo Clearance

Hello,

I realize you have released all of your photos into the public domain, but I am interested in using your swan photo in a book I am writing and my publisher refuses to allow me to use it unless you sign a form asserting that you are the photographer of the image. I would also need the highest resolution version of the photo. Would it be possible to speak to you about this further? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Mattheweg

Sure, please ask me right here - Arpingstone (talk) 15:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for responding! I have a form I can send you, and all you would have to do is sign it and email it back to me. I will credit you in the book as well. Please email me at matteier@gmail.com. Thanks again.

[edit] Emirates

Hi Arpingstone
I absoluely love your photographs. You take amazing aircraft photos. I was wondering, is it possible to take photos of Emairates aircraft, preferably an Airbus A340-300 or Airbus A340-500. It would be great if you could. ThanksMoHasanie (talk) 14:52, 7 April 2009 (UTC);

Thanks for your nice comment. Sorry but I don't seem to see Emirates A340s at the airports I frequent (anywhere south of Manchester in England). But if I do photograph an Emirates A340 I will put it on the article. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 15:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello There I just wanted to say a very big thank you for giving your pictures for the 'public domain'. Excellent photography, I have been able to use one of your shire horse pictures to complete a booklet on farming life for work with the elderly, this is very much appreciated
Many thanks for your fabulous pictures
Regards Linda

Thank you for your very nice comment. I make all my pictures PD (several thousand of mine are on Wikipedia, I've lost count) for two reasons - I don't understand the other picture licences (!) and I want other people to freely make use of them.

What you ask is not necessary since I passed her my camera, told her what to press, told her when to press the shutter and I prepared and uploaded it to Commons. In no real sense therefore is she the photographer. I have changed the image description to remove mention of her. Thanks for writing - Arpingstone (talk) 17:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks again!

[edit] New Categories

Hello Adrian,

first of all I'd like to pay my respect to the amount and quality of pictures you provided to the project. It always shows that equipment is one thing, the major component is the thingy behind the camera. I came across your pictures while adding content to the Category:Aircraft by registration, which has recently been introduced. This is the reason why I contact you. I wanted to draw your focus to this new category and kindly ask, if - in case you upload a new picture, you could add the a/c-registration as a category and, if the category of the registration does not exist yet, create a new category containing as categories Aircraft by registration and the respective name of the airline. Your support would be much appreciated. Thank you. -- Wo st 01 (talk) 22:00, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Auster XR246

Evening Adrian, Nice pic as ever. It set me off over the net and also to Wrecks and Relics (G-AZBU not in 2006 ed, I think) and I still don't know if the paint job is genuine, i.e. if G-AZBU was serial XR246 before. One question I can answer. RAE always divided their aircraft into flights, so at Farnborough (which is well recorded in Peter Cooper's book) in the '60s there were: Armament Flight; Structures and Mechanical Engineering Flight; Transport Flight; Instruments and Photographic Flight; and Radio Flight. Cooper has a A.O.P.9 in the Radio Flight (at Farnborough) re "Green Salad" (eh?), but it was XN412. It's not a complete list and does not include Bedford only aircraft. What was the evidence for Bedford?TSRL (talk) 16:55, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Just remembered the Auster site http://www.auster.ukf.net/Auster%20prodn%20list.txt. Seems clear that XR246 did become G-AZBU, not v.v. The CAA registration detail says XR246 a RAE aircraft, though not where.TSRL (talk) 17:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for writing and sorry to be so long in replying. I now have no idea where I saw RAE Bedford and unfortunately I don't have time to do the search again. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 21:30, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Nice Photo of my Sunbeam Alpine

Hi Adrian,

I hope this finds you. Nice photo of my Series IV Sunbeam Alpine HMY200B en:File:Sunbeam.alpine.IV.arp.jpg but a small correction - it was taken at Kemble Air Show as I have never attended the Yate Car Show! If you google images "Sunbeam Alpine" this photo is currently coming up first - I feel quite honoured.

It must have been fascinating working with Concorde - you are a lucky man!

Geoff

Thanks for your kind remarks. What a strange error I made, it couldn't be Yate because of the aircraft in the background! I've corrected the writing that you see when you click on the photo, to say Kemble Air Day. Shame the picture isn't better quality but I didn't have the DSLR I have now, just a compact (Olympus C750).
I've inserted a direct link to the photo into your text. Note that your message found me the moment you put it onto Commons because a message comes up on any Wikipedia page I'm working on that something has changed on my Commons Talk Page. Best Wishes, and thanks for writing - Arpingstone (talk) 09:25, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] PR9 XH135 at Kemble

Hi Adrian

Just wanted to say thanks for posting your photo of XH135 on the Canberra article (en:English Electric Canberra), it's great to see our little corner of Kemble attracts attention and that our cause is recognised.

Once I have gotten the hang of how editing and commenting works here (just signed up today after seeing your photo), may I fill in some details of the project?

Kind regards
Tim Radford, Canberra Projects Team

Thanks for your kind remarks. I hope you didn't mind me adding a link so that others can go straight to the article we are talking about. Yes, you can add material to Wikipedia but be aware that if an experienced editor thinks the material is too long, very badly written, written like an advert or is not relevant to the article's title then it may be removed very soon after you added it. I only say this because people sometimes add thousands of words to an article only to find it removed in minutes or hours! Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 19:38, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your Photographs!

Hi, I am looking to sponsor a crane or a scenery of cranes for my dad for his xmas present. He likes cranes, and he's really hard to shop for. Plus, I think this is an original idea. Anyway, just wondered if you could get back to me and let me know of any more info about this picture: ie, where it was taken, the company of the cranes etc. my e-mail is: [removed] Thanks

Thanks for writing. I can't help you at the moment because I have thousands of pictures on Wikipedia but I have no list of them. Tell me the article you looked at and then I can reply. Two points: you put your message in the middle of this Talk Page, I have moved it to the proper place which is the very bottom of this Talk Page. Secondly we don't reply by email because then others can't read replies. Because you are inviting spam by publishing your email openly I have removed it. - Arpingstone (talk) 20:37, 30 October 2009 (UTC)


[edit] Vulcan ... to be 1, or to be 1A

Hi Adrian, ref your nice picture of a Vulcan here at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vulcan.filton.arp.750pix.jpg However the captioning is out a little. Vulcan B1s had no fuselage tail extension for ECM kit, so this example is clearly a B1A. I hesitate to jump in with both feet and alter the caption meself when it would be better done by you. Would have also checked the serial # against Tim McLellan's book but see that the aircraft in your pic has neither a serial or roundels. 86.163.210.244 12:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Great photo of the Finist

I really like the picture you took of the Finist at the Battle of Britain weekend (the in-flight picture in the article en:Technoavia SM92 Finist). It is currently based at South Cerney only 4 miles from Kemble, and we frequently drop into Kemble for fuel. Kind Regards, Luke Roberts - Finist Pilot

Thanks for your nice comments - much appreciated. Does that mean that my comment (that you see by clicking the picture) about it being based at Hibaldstow is wrong? I have taken the liberty of adding a direct link to the photo, in your text. Best Wishes - Arpingstone (talk) 16:42, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
