Candidare un immagine[edit]

Linee guida per candidare un'immagine[edit]

È importante leggere le linee guida prima di candidare un'immagine.

A seguito è riportato un riassunto dei punti essenziali per candidare e valutare le immagini candidate:

  • Risoluzione - Le fotografie con una risoluzione inferiore a 2 milioni di pixel vengono generalmente rifiutate e rimosse ad eccezione di motivi contrari di particolare importanza. Si noti che le immagini con risoluzione 1600 x 1200 hanno 1.92 Mpx, appena inferiore al limite minimo di 2Mpx.
Ricordiamo che le immagini caricate su Commons vengono visualizzate non solo su schermi tradizionali di PC ma sono utilizzate anche per stampa e visualizzazione su schermi ad alta risoluzione. Non possiamo certo prevedere quali tecnologie verranno utilizzate nel futuro quindi è importante che le immagini scelte per la vetrina abbiano una risoluzione quanto più alta è possibile.
  • Scansioni - È consigliabile seguire la guida alla scansione, che propone suggerimenti per l'ottenimento di immagini ottimali
  • Fuoco - ovviamente ogni oggetto significativo dell'immagine deve essere ben definito e a fuoco.
  • Primo piano e sfondo - Oggetti in primissimo piano o di sfondo possono distrarre dalla vista dal oggetto principale dell'immagine. È il caso di controllare se qualche elemento in primo piano non copra nessun elemento importante e che lo sfondo non distolga l'attenzione e renda confusa l'immagine (per esempio evitare che vi sia una luce forte alle spalle di un viso)
  • Qualità generale - le immagini candidate devono essere di alta qualità tecnica.
  • Le manipolazioni digitali non devono essere effettuate per ingannare, ma vanno usate solo limitatamente e con cura per correggere difetti fotografici. Le manipolazioni comunemente accettate sono il ritaglio e la correzione di prospettiva, focale, colore ed esposizione. Manipolazioni più estese, come può essere la rimozione di un elemento di distrazione dello sfondo, vanno chiaramente descritte nel testo di descrizione per mezzo del template {{Retouched picture}}. Manipolazioni non descritte o descritte in modo insufficiente non permettono la candidatura alla vetrina.
  • Valore - il nostro principale obiettivo è eleggere le immagini con il maggior valore rispetto a tutte le loro simili. Le immagini devono essere in qualche modo speciali, perciò fai attenzione:
    • quasi tutti i tramonti sono esteticamente piacevoli, infatti molte immagini sono simili alle altre,
    • gli scatti notturni sono gradevoli ma generalmente le foto scattate di giorno mostrano molti più dettagli,
    • non tutte le belle foto hanno in realtà un valore che non sia esclusivamente personale.

Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto tecnico abbiamo come parametri l'esposizione, la composizione, il controllo del movimento e la profondità di campo.

  • L'esposizione si riferisce alla combinazione tra tempo di esposizione e diaframma. Questa combinazione permette generalmente di avere una curva di tono che è in grado di rappresentare ombre e luci con un dettaglio accettabile. Questa curva viene detta latitudine di posa. Un'immagine può essere nella banda bassa, media o alta. Le fotocamere digitali (e le loro foto) hanno una latitudine di posa più stretta delle macchine a pellicola. La mancanza di dettagli nelle zone d'ombra non è necessariamente una caratteristica negativa. Infatti questa può essere parte dell'effetto desiderato, mentre ampie zone eccessivamente sovraesposte possono distrarre la vista.
  • La composizione si riferisce alla distribuzione degli elementi nell'immagine. La “Regola dei Terzi” è una buona linea guida per la composizione e eredita molto dagli studi di disegno. Il concetto principale considera l'immagine divisa con due linee orizzontali e due verticali, che dividono l'immagine in tre parti. Generalmente se l'oggetto viene centrato si ha un effetto poco interessante, mentre se l'oggetto viene posizionato in uno dei punti di interesse, ovvero l'intersezione delle quattro linee, si ottiene un effetto decisamente migliore. Le linee dell'orizzonte infatti non dovrebbero essere posizionate nel centro, perché taglierebbero la foto a metà; è invece preferibile scegliere una delle linee orizzontali. Complessivamente bisogna tendere a creare un'immagine dinamica.
  • Il controllo del movimento si riferisce al modo viene rappresentato il movimento nell'immagine. Il movimento può essere bloccato (seguito dalla fotocamera) oppure può essere lasciato scorrere, tuttavia l'oggetto principale dell'immagine deve essere visibile. Nessuna delle due tecniche è migliore dell'altra, la buona riuscita dipende esclusivamente dal tipo di effetto ricercato. Per esempio, fotografando una vettura da corsa che appare statica in relazione allo sfondo, che invece scorre sul retro, si ottiene l'oggetto principale in una condizione statica mentre lo sfondo crea il senso di movimento. (questa tecnica è chiamata "panning"). D'altra parte, fotografando un giocatore di basket in salto, bloccato in relazione a tutto il resto dello sfondo, si otterrebbe un buono scatto proprio per la posa innaturale.
  • La profondità di campo (PdC o DOF dall'inglese depth of field) è la distanza davanti e dietro il soggetto principale che appare nitida (a fuoco). Questo parametro viene scelto a seconda delle necessità di ogni immagine e può parimenti migliorare o peggiorare la qualità di una fotografia. Generalmente viene utilizzata una PdC ridotta per mettere al centro dell'attenzione il soggetto principale, separandolo da tutto il resto dello sfondo. Invece viene utilizzata una grande PdC per enfatizzare la profondità di un immagine. Gli obiettivi grandangolari in genere una grande PdC mentre i teleobiettivi ne hanno una decisamente ridotta. In gran parte la PdC dipende dall'apertura del diaframma: aumenta con il diminuire dell'apertura e viceversa.

Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto grafico prendiamo invece in considerazione nitidezza, profondità, colore, superficie, prospettiva, bilanciamento, proporzione, ecc.

  • La nitidezza si riferisce alle linee di contorno del soggetto principale.
  • La profondità si riferisce alla qualità dell'aspetto tridimensionale del soggetto. Ciò si ottiene soprattutto tramite un'adeguata illuminazione laterale (come quella della prima mattinata o del tardo pomeriggio) e non esclusivamente frontale, al fine di evitare l'appiattimento del soggetto.
  • Il colore è un elemento molto importante e non deve essere né troppo né poco saturo.
  • La superficie si riferisce alla qualità della superficie degli oggetti fotografati.
  • La prospettiva si riferisce all'angolazione dalla quale è stata scattata la fotografia. Essa crea una serie di rette immaginarie che seguono gli spigoli paralleli degli oggetti e si incontrano in un punto che può essere dentro o fuori l'immagine.
  • Il bilanciamento si riferisce alla disposizione degli oggetti nell'immagine e può essere equilibrato o porre maggior peso verso una direzione.
  • La proporzione si riferisce alla relazione tra le dimensioni degli oggetti all'interno dell'immagine. Generalmente si tende a rappresentare oggetti con ridotta relazione, ma una buona tecnica è quella di rappresentare gli oggetti di dimensioni minori in modo più esteso, contrariamente a quanto è in realtà. Per esempio, un piccolo fiore che viene rappresentato con le stesse dimensioni di una grande montagna: questa tecnica viene chiamata inversione di scala.
Ovviamente, non tutte le caratteristiche devono essere necessariamente presenti. Le immagini possono essere giudicate sia per una sola caratteristica che per diverse caratteristiche, anche contemporaneamente.
  • Significato simbolico o rilevanza particolare …Le guerre d'opinione possono iniziare!…. Va ricordato che una pessima fotografia di un soggetto difficilissimo da fotografare è sicuramente migliore di un'immagine ordinaria e tradizionale (come un comune tramonto).
Le immagini possono essere scelte da un fotografo o da un osservatore anche per motivi culturali, tenendo però sempre conto del contesto dello scatto e non di quello dell'osservatore. Un'immagine inoltre può "parlare" alle persone e avere la capacità di evocare emozioni, che tuttavia non devono essere necessariamente piacevoli.

Per ottimizzare le possibilità di successo delle candidature delle tue immagini è consigliabile leggere le linee guida complete.

Puoi inoltre evidenziare che l'immagine non ha possibilità di essere eletta con il template {{FPX|motivo}}, inserendo al posto di motivo le ragioni per cui è chiaramente inaccettabile per la vetrina.

Ogni votante è pregato di motivare il proprio voto con qualche parola, in particolar modo se si vota contro. Ricorda inoltre di aggiungere la tua firma (~~~~). I voti anonimi non sono accettati.

Candidare un'immagine alla rimozione dalla vetrina[edit]

Gli standard della vetrina cambiano col tempo. Può succedere che un'immagine che era stata eletta per la vetrina non sia più adatta agli standard attuali.

Questa lista è perciò composta dalle immagini considerate non più adatte a rimanere nella vetrina. Vota:

  • {{Mantenere}} Symbol keep vote.svg Keep per far sì che l'immagine rimanga nella vetrina.
  • {{Rimuovere}} Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose per far sì che l'immagine venga rimossa dalla vetrina.

Se consideri che un'immagine non rispetti più i criteri delle immagini in vetrina, candidala per la rimozione copiando il nome dell'immagine dentro questa casella di testo (includendo il prefisso dell' Image:) a seguito del testo già presente in essa:


Nella pagina appena creata includi:

  • Le informazioni sull'origine dell'immagine (autore dell'immagine, autore della candidatura);
  • Un collegamento all'iniziale candidatura per l'inserimento nella vetrina (che va inserito sotto ==Collegamenti== nella descrizione dell'immagine);
  • Il motivo per cui l'hai candidata per la rimozione dalla vetrina e il tuo Nome utente.

Dopo aver fatto ciò devi inserire manualmente un collegamento alla pagina creata all'inizio della lista di rimozione dalla vetrina.

Politica di elezione per la vetrina[edit]

Regole generali[edit]

  1. Il periodo di votazione è di 9 giorni completi, a partire dalla candidatura. I risultato verrà determinato alla fine di questo periodo. I voti aggiunti il decimo giorno o a seguito non verranno considerati.
  2. Sono benvenuti i contributori anonimi.
  3. I contributi di anonimi alle discussioni sono benvenuti.
  4. I voti di contributori anonimi non saranno accettati.
  5. La candidatura non conta come voto. Il voto di supporto va esplicitato.
  6. Gli autori delle candidature possono ritirare le loro immagini candidate in ogni momento. Questo si ottiene scrivendo semplicemente "I withdraw my nomination" (in inglese: ritiro la mia candidatura)
    o aggiungendo il testo {{withdraw|~~~~}}.
  7. Ricorda che l'obiettivo del progetto Wikimedia Commons è di costruire una raccolta di immagini utilizzabili da tutti i progetti Wikimedia, inclusi possibili progetti futuri. Perciò non bisogna pensare che questo sia una raccolta dedicata esclusivamente al progetto Wikipedia e per tanto le immagini non vanno valutate in funzione di ciò.
  8. Le immagini vengono rimosse dalla lista di candidature se non hanno voti a supporto (escluso quello dell'autore della candidatura) entro il quinto giorno dalla candidatura (La regola del quinto giorno)
  9. Le immagini dotate del template {{FPX}} non devono essere rimosse dalla lista entro le 48 ore successive al momento in cui è stato applicato il template, purchè non vi sia nessun voto a supporto oltre quello dell'autore della candidatura.

Regole di ammissione e rimozione dalla vetrina[edit]

Un'immagine candidata viene ammessa alla vetrina se si verificano le seguenti condizioni:

  1. La licenza è adeguata (ovviamente).
  2. Se ha almeno 5 voti a supporto.
  3. Se il rapporto tra voti pro/contro è almeno 2/1 (se ha due terzi di maggioranza).
  4. Non possono essere ammessi alla vetrina diverse versioni della stessa immagine, ne deve essere scelta una sola versione.

I criteri per la rimozione dalla vetrina sono gli stessi per l'ammissione ad essa, compreso il periodo di voto e la regola del quinto giorno (vedi nelle Regole generali).

Ogni utente esperto può portare a termine una votazione: per istruzioni su come compiere questa operazione vedi la guida per portare a termina la votazione.

Infine, sii cortese[edit]

Per piacere non dimenticare che l'immagine che stai giudicando è frutto del lavoro di qualcuno. Evita di usare frasi come è orribile: se devi opporti non fare spiacevoli considerazioni. Inoltre ricorda che è necessario scrivere in inglese se vuoi essere compreso dagli altri utenti e che il tuo utilizzo di questa lingua e quello degli altri utenti può comunque generare incomprensioni se non si ha un'ottima conoscenza, perciò scegli le parole con cura.

Buon voto… e ricorda che.... tutte le regole possono avere qualche eccezione.

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support This is a second attempt at nominating this photo. The previous attempt was made in 2009, before the Space Shuttle program ended. I believe that the photo now has historic value and it seems to be an exemplar of this type of photo (two shuttles on pads) on English Wikipedia, where it is already featured. There may be artistic complaints about the composition but I think that they are outweighed by the historic value. The sharpness is not great but due to the long distances and the atmospheric effects I think that this is acceptable, given the other good qualities of the photo. -- Pine✉ 06:54, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - As User:Sarcastic ShockwaveLover recommended in 2009, this should be nominated for VI (unless it's not the most useful image of both those shuttles on launch pads at the same time). It's a pretty image and interesting, but it looks noisy and the crops left and right are sub-optimal.

  • It was not shot in RAW, but in JPEG. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 07:18, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Btw @Daniel Case:, the matter of fact, that the photo was shot on a chilly January winter morning and the position of the sun was way down low (so the sunlight had to penetrate the hazy atmosphere almost parallel to the surface of the earth), the whole scenery is plunged in the long-wave reddish light; that’s the reason why the bark of the tilia trees is not brownish but more on the reddish side. That circumstance can evoke an unnatural appearance. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 07:34, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose Please allow me to direct your collective attention to this image, of which this nomination is a slightly modified copy. Said image is already an FP and was a finalist in PotY 2017. As the images are almost identical, I humbly suggest that this nomination is withdrawn.--Peulle (talk) 09:07, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Just for the record: they are indeed very similar, but this is quite obviously not a copy derived from the same base image. Look at the land on the right, that's clearly two different pictures, either taken from different positions or with different water levels. --El Grafo (talk) 11:45, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Sure, but if this is promoted, it says that we can nominate several images that are very similar and expect them to be promoted. Instead of choosing the single best one out of a series, a photographer could shoot a whole series of images and nominate them all. It would undermine what FPC is all about; choosing the single best image between many candidates.--Peulle (talk) 14:57, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
  • I think they're significantly different and that that's evident from comparing them by clicking back and forth between them. I'll wait a little longer, and if it becomes obvious that there's nevertheless a consensus for your view, I will withdraw, but I don't agree with you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:09, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
  • That we disagree on an issue is of course fine; I stand by my point, though, and I feel that if yours prevailed, I should be able to nominate all four images in my M32 series since they're slightly different, and I just don't believe that is the intention behind FPC.--Peulle (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Didn't notice the downsizing so I'll hold off my vote. I still like the light, though.--Peulle (talk) 22:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Explanation deemed acceptable.--Peulle (talk) 06:30, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
No worries, Peulle, I'm quite strictly against downsizing. I downsized only once or twice, and it was when I worked with panoramas which were so big that my computer kept freezing. --Podzemnik (talk) 06:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose My first reaction was "That's not a castle. That's a four bed house with pretensions". But then I realise you've photographed the side. It is photographed too close, which results in strange asymmetrical effects to the rounded parts and spire. 16mm on a full frame camera is ultra-wide and not really appealing for exterior architecture unless you are going for an effect. I appreciate it may not be possible to get much further back. At 7MP this appears to be 70% downsized from the 20MP camera. Please can you upload upload the original? -- Colin (talk) 21:49, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
    • Thank you for you comment, Colin. I didn't downsize the image, the pixels were lost after I fixed the perspective and cropped the image. I couldn't get any further since from the western side there is a only a small driveway and then steep stairs down. Also, I think I left a bit more space on the sides than necessary because at that time I wasn't sure if I'd need that space during quite heavy perspective correction. Well, now I know than no, I wouldn't really need it :) I uploaded the original RAW here. Any advice how to improve my post processing is highly appreciated.

Old encode.

New encode.

  • Pictogram voting info.svg Info There are some reasons to replace. (Original nomination)
    1. New encode is in VP9 which brings better quality to video. Above that, the bitrate is now closer to the original file, to avoid over-compression.
    2. New encode uses Opus as audio codec, which should improve compression and quality.
    3. The old encode has its color matrix incorrectly set, which result in the rendered colors being incorrect. This is fixed in the new file.
    4. You can see a simple comparison here.

If that's not specific enough for you, I could always choose to fall back on the very unspecific "no wow", which we are permitted to use as a reason for opposing.

  • Symbol neutral vote.svg Neutral after correction. Yes, this dark corner was very intrusive. So please, Poco, understand why I opposed here your picture, instead of contesting the issue you've just fixed. We certainly see things differently. You find this image awesome, while I just consider it very ordinary, with honesty and good faith. We have tons of similar pictures of religious buildings here (mainly christian, not much other religions represented) and this one is just one more. Due to the distorted perspective, this church looks giant inside, while the reality is probably very different. I personally prefer non-deformed perspective because it gives a better idea of how the interior is in truth. The color is yellowish, so not very aesthetic. In these conditions, an intrusive object spoiling the left corner to completely break the symmetry was just too much. This is only my subjective opinion, and your photo also gets 5 supports. Now I'm neutral because the correction was made successfully -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:33, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support This is a second attempt at nominating this photo. The previous attempt was made in 2009, before the Space Shuttle program ended. I believe that the photo now has historic value and it seems to be an exemplar of this type of photo (two shuttles on pads) on English Wikipedia, where it is already featured. There may be artistic complaints about the composition but I think that they are outweighed by the historic value. The sharpness is not great but due to the long distances and the atmospheric effects I think that this is acceptable, given the other good qualities of the photo. -- Pine✉ 06:54, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - As User:Sarcastic ShockwaveLover recommended in 2009, this should be nominated for VI (unless it's not the most useful image of both those shuttles on launch pads at the same time).

    • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Just for the record: they are indeed very similar, but this is quite obviously not a copy derived from the same base image. Look at the land on the right, that's clearly two different pictures, either taken from different positions or with different water levels. --El Grafo (talk) 11:45, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Sure, but if this is promoted, it says that we can nominate several images that are very similar and expect them to be promoted. Instead of choosing the single best one out of a series, a photographer could shoot a whole series of images and nominate them all. It would undermine what FPC is all about; choosing the single best image between many candidates.--Peulle (talk) 14:57, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
  • I think they're significantly different and that that's evident from comparing them by clicking back and forth between them. I'll wait a little longer, and if it becomes obvious that there's nevertheless a consensus for your view, I will withdraw, but I don't agree with you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:09, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
  • That we disagree on an issue is of course fine; I stand by my point, though, and I feel that if yours prevailed, I should be able to nominate all four images in my M32 series since they're slightly different, and I just don't believe that is the intention behind FPC.--Peulle (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Didn't notice the downsizing so I'll hold off my vote. I still like the light, though.--Peulle (talk) 22:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Explanation deemed acceptable.--Peulle (talk) 06:30, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
No worries, Peulle, I'm quite strictly against downsizing. I downsized only once or twice, and it was when I worked with panoramas which were so big that my computer kept freezing. --Podzemnik (talk) 06:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose My first reaction was "That's not a castle. That's a four bed house with pretensions". But then I realise you've photographed the side. It is photographed too close, which results in strange asymmetrical effects to the rounded parts and spire. 16mm on a full frame camera is ultra-wide and not really appealing for exterior architecture unless you are going for an effect. I appreciate it may not be possible to get much further back. At 7MP this appears to be 70% downsized from the 20MP camera. Please can you upload upload the original? -- Colin (talk) 21:49, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
    • Thank you for you comment, Colin. I didn't downsize the image, the pixels were lost after I fixed the perspective and cropped the image. I couldn't get any further since from the western side there is a only a small driveway and then steep stairs down. Also, I think I left a bit more space on the sides than necessary because at that time I wasn't sure if I'd need that space during quite heavy perspective correction. Well, now I know than no, I wouldn't really need it :) I uploaded the original RAW here. Any advice how to improve my post processing is highly appreciated.

Old encode.

New encode.

  • Pictogram voting info.svg Info There are some reasons to replace. (Original nomination)
    1. New encode is in VP9 which brings better quality to video. Above that, the bitrate is now closer to the original file, to avoid over-compression.
    2. New encode uses Opus as audio codec, which should improve compression and quality.
    3. The old encode has its color matrix incorrectly set, which result in the rendered colors being incorrect. This is fixed in the new file.
    4. You can see a simple comparison here.

If that's not specific enough for you, I could always choose to fall back on the very unspecific "no wow", which we are permitted to use as a reason for opposing.

  • Symbol neutral vote.svg Neutral after correction. Yes, this dark corner was very intrusive. So please, Poco, understand why I opposed here your picture, instead of contesting the issue you've just fixed. We certainly see things differently. You find this image awesome, while I just consider it very ordinary, with honesty and good faith. We have tons of similar pictures of religious buildings here (mainly christian, not much other religions represented) and this one is just one more. Due to the distorted perspective, this church looks giant inside, while the reality is probably very different. I personally prefer non-deformed perspective because it gives a better idea of how the interior is in truth. The color is yellowish, so not very aesthetic. In these conditions, an intrusive object spoiling the left corner to completely break the symmetry was just too much. This is only my subjective opinion, and your photo also gets 5 supports. Now I'm neutral because the correction was made successfully -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:33, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Extraordinary, Sharp, Detailed
What do you mean. It is a train passing at speed as the vibrant light shows and it is a silhouetted night time. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:16, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
It's called "night" Basile Morin... -mattbuck (Talk) 14:05, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Guidelines for nominators : Night-shots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime. Examples of successful night shots recently promoted : 1, 2, 3, but unsuccessful dark shots : 1, 2, 3, recently declined -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:48, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Not sure why you included a daytime shot of a bird among the unsuccessful night nominations or why you chose blood moon photos as they can hardly be photographed in bright light. It would have been better if you used photos of structures and landscapes as examples, those are what the rule you quoted are for. --Cart (talk) 10:03, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

  • Symbol neutral vote.svg Neutral Still darker than I'd prefer, but one thing I didn't notice the first time around is that the detail is a bit lacking. Great scene with great lighting though so I won't oppose. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:23, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
  • @King of Hearts: I think this lens is not so sharp, I also had Canon EF16-35mm f/4L IS USM in that time but I couldn't use that. Just I didn't have a time to change lens since this scene has disappeared in an instant. --Laitche (talk) 01:46, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
