Chicago Union Station 1943

I like this one for the light effect, but what sets it out are the details -- the men in uniform, the wartime poster advising not to waste transportation and the people waiting. Dunc| 18:47, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

self-nom, hopefully the tiny detail of finding out the actual species will be resolved once the pic gets more attention ;-) --Dschwen 12:57, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oversaturaded? That's what it actually looked like at the place the picture was taken. Cannot argue about DOF but I think it brings out the head. --Dschwen 20:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I've been to such places in the US. But still... it makes the picture somewhat difficult to appreciate (not enough contrast between the reptile and the background). Maybe a different position with respect to light would have helped? As for depth-of-field, if you have a camera with semi-manual settings, you can achieve it in such sunny situations by selecting a small aperture (I realize that it's not easy when you're in a hurry).

Not to mention I was kneeling on the ground and using a shutter speed of 1/320sec at full wide angle zoom. Honestly. Other than that, I don't really care whether this picture is featured on the commons or not, or who opposes it. I don't ever come here, it's none of my concern. I just had to reply to that completely untrue and unwarranted comment.PiccoloNamek 01:47, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK then, by mucking about with those "gaussian blur, top layer transparency, blending modes, brightness", etc., gimmicks (whatever all those are!). They all for me spoil what could be a good photo . . . very much ditto to YolanC and Gorgo. How about posting the original? I'd probably vote support for that - MPF 01:13, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
