Photos of Cincinnati bridges
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Cincinnati-truss-bridge1.jpg/220px-Cincinnati-truss-bridge1.jpg)
Hi. I'd like to thank you for contributing your photos to the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge Wikipedia article. I'm planning to write articles about Cincinnati's other Ohio River bridges sometime soon, so if you have any photos of them, or get the chance to take any, they would be of great assistance. Thanks, --taestell
- I just went out and took some for you. And I'll try to take a few more this afternoon and post them by tomorrow. --Tysto 16:20, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
- <throws up hands like rodeo cattle roper> Done! Check out the Cincinnati, Ohio category. --Tysto 18:01, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
Nanjing Road photo
[edit]Hi. Thanks for the link to the edited photo, it looks much better. I think I'll upload it in place of the old one. Sadly I have no idea about photo editing, so I couldn't do anything like that. And the photo wasn't perfect because it was one of the first photos taken by my wife with her newly bought camera, but I like it very much anyway. ;-) --P.B. 22:03, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
aerial photography
[edit]I don't think its a waste of time. But you should clarify if the photos are only US cities or global cities. Thanks Nichalp July 9, 2005 05:01 (UTC)
- Thanks! I only fly over US cities, and mostly Indiana right now. But I would encourage anyone to take aerial photos of any cities listed in Wikipedia. My view is that having any photos of towns and cities improves the articles, with ground photos of landmarks being best (see my home town of Bremen, Indiana) but I can take pictures of dozens of cities from the air that I'll never actually visit. I'll add these clarifiers to my progress page. --Tysto 03:53, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit]By the way, please use {{PD-self}} for releasing your own work to the public domain, not just {{PD}}. Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 15:24, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Gamla photos
[edit]I would like to thank you about your enhancements to my photos. :) I'm at the first time with digital cameras and never used programs like gimp. Just a question: the photos was terrific about the dominants or about the subject? :) --EdoM 14:43, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know anything about Gamla. I just liked the photos. They were big and clear and illustrated the subject very well. :-) --Tysto 02:46, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
Image:Cincinnati-fifth-third-bank.jpg - Nice image!
[edit]I came across your work via this image of the Fifth Third Bank building. Nice work. How did you get that angle on the building? I like your project of doing arial photos, that's wise and a good idea. Keep up the great work! 66.81.17.5 04:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! I shot the 5/3 from the observation deck on top of Carew Tower. You can see more pics from that set on my Web page article "Postcards from the 48 1/2th floor". --Tysto 14:58, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
How do I cite the owner of a photo on my webpage?
[edit]Hi Tysto, I'm working on a webpage for a non-profit group in Cincinnati. I would like to use some of your photos of Cincinnati. According to Creative Commons Attribution 2.0: Attribution. You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor. On your photo of the Roebling bridge for example you don't give any instructions. Can I just mention your name as the photographer?--Morphaeous 15:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, Morphaeous-- I've had several requests to use my photos for projects from my site (Tysto.com) and this site. I always allow them to be used freely and for any purpose by anyone. For that reason, I've been putting public domain tags on all my Wiki Commons photos for months but I think the Roebling Suspension Bridge was one of the first, so I'll change it. I appreciate the offer of a photo credit, tho; something like "photo by Derek Jensen" is appropriate but by no means necessary. --Tysto 20:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! I'll let you know after I put them up. Its for the L’Alliance Française de Cincinnati (French Alliance of Cincinnati)--Morphaeous 02:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Your photo is used at this website. http://www.france-cincinnati.com/af/menu_4_2_en.htm 74.129.39.177 06:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Jersey City Photos
[edit]You've made very nice photos of Jersey City, especially the nightshot of the Pavonia/Newport business center. Even thought its accross teh river from Greenwich Village, Pavonia Newport center looks better then some places in Washington, DC. GK tramrunner229 02:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! --Tysto 22:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Requesting Permission
[edit]Hello Derek Jensen. We would like to publish this image of "Youth soccer in small town, Indiana, USA" in a Sociology textbook. Would you please contact me at jillenge@yahoo.com for details? I would like to obtain your permission to publish this photo. Thank you. -Jill
List of Ohio county name etymologies
[edit]- "List of Ohio county name etymologies—This is a featured list for Godssake. I'm not saying the information is worthless; it should just be put into each county's page. Who's going to do this for every county in America, much less Ireland, the UK, Canadian provinces, every other damn country in the world? It's ridiculous."
you know there is a list like this for every state now. Some are under construction though
Your image got used in a news story: [2] 210.84.27.190 05:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
dear Tysco, I liked your picture which i find very interesting. I blogged about it (see here). I am not entirely familiar with license, would you want me to state the author (I've put a link to Commons so far), let me know. --Diligent 11:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 04:08, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

My employer, the Indiana Historical Society, based in Indianapolis, would like to use this aerial image of Wabash in print and digital publications being created as a free supplemental textbook for Indiana high school students. The release dated is slated for 2014. I understand that you have placed this image in the public domain. What should we include in the credit line for the image?

Congratulations!
[edit]
This has got to be the worst photograph that I have ever seen of this building!
While there is some artistic merit in the use of perspective to redefine reality and cause us to think about what it is that we are actually seeing, this representation of the building totally distorts its immensity.
Great work getting it on the U.S. Steel page as the only representation of the building on it!
No wonder people mock the wiki. Thanks!

File:Rising-sun-indiana-ohio-river--from-above.jpg
[edit]i'm interested in using this image as the 'header picture' for the Ohio River article, and noticed that it seems to have been scaled down & oddly edited from your original; do you think that User:FAZi7's change should be reverted (back to your original)?
