Hi Muhammad

Hi Muhammad, I just noticed that you had uploaded lots of images of Bangalore to Wikipedia/Commons and also living in Bangalore. I just thought to connect with you. Do you know that Wikipedians in Bangalore regularly meet once a month ? Have a look at our Meetup page. The next meetup is on Sep11, 2010. Join the mailing list too https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-blr . You are cordially invited to add the meetup. Hoping to meet you soon. Regards -- Tinu Cherian - 07:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Re:fungi

I'm assuming they were taken in Tanzania? The first is probably some kind of Polyporaceae, (could be damn difficult to identify precisely) while the second is probably some kind of Lycoperdaceae. More generally (I suspect you know...) the first is a bracket fungi of some sort, while the second is a puffball. I wouldn't want to guess any more precisely than that- try posting them on the WikiProject Fungi talk page, or Mushroom Observer. J Milburn (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Picture question

Do you have any specific suggestions for taking a skyline picture across a river, to get it up to FP quality? It would be nice to have that an FP and Davenport, Iowa an FA. Thanks, CTJF83 chat 03:00, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

The picture you linked to is tilted and seems to be cut-off at both sides. The tilt can easily be fixed but I would suggest taking a couple of pictures of the skyline and stitching them together to form a panorama. If your camera has optical zoom then you'd better zoom the maximum possible and take as many pictures required to cover the skyline. Once all the images are stitched, you can downsize the image to the current resolution and you will get a much sharper image. But a compact camera has its limits so I don't know if it would come to FP quality. See for inspiration. You may also want to ask Diliff for advice. --Muhammad(talk) 07:32, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll try a panorama picture...also, I'm facing south when I take the picture, what is the best time of day? The sun always seems to be a problem. CTJF83 chat 21:03, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

If you're facing south I think evening time would be better when the sun is at its golden hour. Experiment with different timings and see what you like --Muhammad(talk) 03:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! CTJF83 chat 21:01, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I have some bad news for you; you have misidentified this bee. This is a female in the genus Anthophora; the head is quite different from those of any of the Eucerine genera such as Tetraloniella. I would urge you to change the name of the file and the associated captions as soon as possible. In case it matters, I am a world authority on bee identification. Dyanega (talk) 17:14, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Also, in looking over your gallery - with many exceptional photos - I notice you have also included a photo of a female wasp, identified as a Polistes. Where was this photo taken? The wing markings are unlike any Polistes species I have ever seen, and I am a little suspicious it might be some genus in the Epiponini. Dyanega (talk) 01:10, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Help with the image

Hi Muhammad, I have a bad quality image that I'd like to be enhanced in order to see the tail of the comet better. I wonder, if you would be able to help me with this. This image is not for wikipedia, it is for an article I wrote for a magazine, so sadly I will not be able to give you any credit for this. Also we need to take into consideration that I would have to email you an original image, and I know your internet connection is slow, and maybe you even have to pay for every minute you are on the net. If this is the case, then of course I will not dare to bother you. May I please ask you to feel absolutely free to say "no"? Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:21, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Commons has "Pictured in...," which is a little ambiguous. I couldn't edit the wording. It's protected, at least for now. It would be more specific to say something like, "Found and photographed..." ("The hands of Michael Jordan were pictured in a photo book on famous basketball players made in Taiwan in the year...") P0M (talk) 16:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Restitching panorama

Hallo, While discussing a bug in this nominated for Featured picture panorama, some user suggest to ask you, as being skilled in this matter, if you mind to help with the problem by restiching the original photos or some other solution. If yes, I'm going to send the originals to you. Thanks in advance.--MrPanyGoff (talk) 06:40, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Impressed, and slightly jealous

Hi Karim. Am new in Wiki. I just dropped by to say that your photography is awesome. I liked every single of them. I myself is a beginner in photography, and I hope that someday I can be able to take photographs like yours . I'm greatly inspired.

P.T. To me, your best shot was the File:Apis mellifera flying.jpg. :) Taslim Hossain (talk) 12:44, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
