Gesundes neues Jahr!

Lieber Frank, vielen Dank für Deine Neujahrsgrüße, über die ich mich sehr freue. Auch ich möchte die Gelegenheit nutzen, um Dir aufs Herzlichste ein gutes, glückliches und gesundes Neues Jahr zu wünschen. Die Freiwilligenarbeit macht mir Spaß, dabei meine ich auch die täglich anfallenden Wartungsarbeiten, mit denen ich dazu beitrage, Commons übersichtlich zu halten. Im letzten Jahr habe ich es geschafft an einem WikiCon-Treffen teilzunehmen, vielleicht klappt es auch in diesem Jahr. Ganz herzliche Grüße von der Ostsee :) -- Radomianin (talk) 07:50, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Frank - what does the metadata tell you about the following image :File:Stash of Menē Inc. brand Gold and Platinums rings.jpg ? Does it indicate a scanner or cell phone image? ^Atsme _Talk 📧 00:20, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Do you have more of these? Any on Broadway?

Congratulations!

A big Congrats to the exhibition! It looks really great, and I see that the "Fritz" nickname is sticking. :-) Oxford photos look nice too. --Cart (talk) 21:24, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks so much, Cart. I'm currently in London before flying back to California tomorrow (met with Fiona from Wikimedia and George from Flickr this morning). Once I'm back in Chico, I'll have a series of four workshops aimed at getting people interested in uploading their works to Commons. There aren't that many photographers in Northern California and I hope the exhibition will spread the word about "taking photos for Wikipedia is a thing". Also, yes, in Chico most people know me under my nickname, so it would have been confusing to only use my birth name. Hope you're doing well! I very much enjoy your photography. Keep sharing! Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:02, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

The trip to Britain sounds (and looks) very nice, and it would be great if you got a little photography group going in Chico. I have tried the same here, but most people who live here have a comfort zone when it comes to photography that is limited to phone+Facebook. I had Covid this winter and I'm slowly making my way back, but still very tired so mostly backlog editing. Safe travels! --Cart (talk) 15:20, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

elephants playing in water

Someone has just asked permission to use this image in a publication. When I told him that it had been called 'a scene that's all too common' he asked where? You probably won't remember, Frank, but that was your review. Whereabouts were you thinking of where this behaviour is common? Best wishes, Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:22, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

If you're interested in attending, please sign up on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 5, 2023.

Flickr Foundation survey is ready

Hello! I'm working with George Oates at the Flickr Foundation doing community management. I know she's coming to talk to the Commons Photographers User Group in a week, I wanted to let you know that we've finished the survey that we created using your input. Thank you!

I'll be sharing the survey in the Wikimedia Commons Community, on the Flickypedia page and was going to add it to the Discussion page of the Commons Photographers User Group page on Monday. If you have any other suggestions for ways to distribute, I'd love to hear them. This is me on Wikipedia, and Flickr, and I also sometimes share public domain images on Wikimedia Commons. Nice to meet you. Jessamyn (talk) 17:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Quick reminder: Commons Photographers meeting this Saturday

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

This is a quick reminder that our next meeting will happen on Saturday, August 5th. If you haven't registered yet and you're interested in learning more about underwater photography and “Flickypedia”, please sign up on this page. Also, I invite you to fill out this survey created by the people who are working on the Flickr-to-Wikimedia Commons software. Your input will make a difference.

We haven't had a virtual meeting in a while and I'm so looking forward to this weekend!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 - Deutschland

Hallo Frank Schulenburg,

Sieger 2022 – Kloster Paulinzella

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2023 findet zum dreizehnten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Vergangenes Jahr hat Radomianin mit einer Gesamtansicht von Kloster Paulinzella gewonnen. Welcher Fotograf oder welche Fotografin tritt dieses Jahr die Nachfolge an?

Nach WLM 2022 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel die Denkmallisten in Waltershausen in Thüringen oder in Fulda.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Für das einfache Auffinden haben wir eine Upload-Karte erstellt, in der viele aber leider noch nicht alle Kulturdenkmale angezeigt werden können. Das Laden der Objekte dauert dort etwas.

Wir haben dieses Jahr „drei Sonderpreise für Bilder von Friedhöfen“ ausgelobt. Zugelassen sind für den Sonderpreis auch Fotos von Friedhöfen, die nicht denkmalgeschützt sind.

Damit es ab 1. September mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Upload your photos via the new Upload-Map 

Upload your photos for the special price 

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Anfang September 2023 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Vorjury-Tool 

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z ^thomas 12:19, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

What Camera Do You Use?

I saw the pictures you took of the Camp Fire aftermath, and I think they're excellent. I was wondering what camera that was because I'd love to buy one.2601:348:200:7DA7:692E:3C04:9025:4B2A 05:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, at that time, I was using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. If you're starting your photography journey today, I'd recommend a mirrorless camera like the Canon EOS R5 or Canon EOS R7. However, it all depends what kind of subjects you're interested in taking pictures of. If you tell me what you'd like to shoot, I can provide you with better advice. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 06:01, 21 August 2023 (UTC) P.S. Oh, I forgot: I'd invest in good lenses. They make a big difference…

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
