Hi, I saw your follow-up messages at COM:QIC, and wanted to give you more detailed feedback, in case that's helpful:
- File:Kodak Brownie 127.jpg - the noise is on the left-hand side of the image. The image could also do with some sharpening, and white balance adjustment.
- File:Speedcube GAN.jpg - again, on the left-hand side in the shadow, also on the blue face. Same with sharpening and white balance needing adjustment. You saw the CA issue, but maybe that is just the blue interacting with the background.
I hope that's helpful. Would be happy to have another look if you want to tweak the images. TBH, I think you'd get better results with this sort of photo by using a lightbox (which aren't expensive). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:06, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hello... @Mike Peel:
- File:Kodak Brownie 127.jpg — I saw the noise, the sharpening you want is on the actual lens of the camera itself, I'm aware of it being out of focus, I made sure the text was in focus instead. White balance will hopefully be fixed by ReneeWrites in a few hours.
- File:Speedcube GAN.jpg — the noise here is actually mostly on the background, the rest on the blue face is mixing with the texture of the cube itself, it has a
dotted
texture, it's one of the key differences from the stickered versions of speedcubes, I can confirm this as I have compared it to the MOYU RS3M 2021 and others that I own, this should also be fixable on the shot itself, credit to ReneeWrites for most of my images being fixed by her.
- The problem with the lightbox in these specific shots is that I didn't use flash, it's too direct and overexposes the objects. I'm going to acquire a SB-910 for next week or so. Expensive or not, it's not the main problem if it's in the range from £0-120, the actual problem is the time it will take to arrive, I'm trying to get some shots without the flash first. I was already aware of the box solution and was planning to get one, before that I will get the flashgun itself and the diffuser. 多多123 17:50, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- OK, ping me when the new versions are available and I'll have another look. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:58, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- Also, I don't understand why there's noise, I used 400 ISO and f/0 (1/1 seconds shutter speed) it was exposed a long time and the ISO was quite low. 多多123 18:01, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- Noise is always there, it's just whether it's noticeable. I suspect it was the shadows that you brightened afterwards? Although, not sure what f/0 means. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:07, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- 1" second shutter speed. 多多123 18:21, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- No, f/stop is separate from shutter speed. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:30, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hm, I'm pretty sure it's not? It's called f/# on my D3200, and means the shutter speed. 多多123 18:33, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- The f/stop you are talking about is the aperture of the lens, which has no other specification than the number itself, i.e. #. 多多123 18:34, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- f/stop is how much the lens is open compared to the focal length, it's a ratio, which is why f/0 makes no sense. Normally it would be something like f/2 through f/12 (with f/7-10 normally being optimal). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:38, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- f/0 is the shutter speed according to my D3200 and... has been registered as so on the Metadata! Exposure time 1/1 sec (1) F-number f/0. I myself like to look at the Metadata of the images I review, most of the time. 多多123 18:42, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- The f/stop used was probably either f/16 or so or f/3.5, I don't remember exactly. 多多123 18:44, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- Try a middle ground next time, around f/9 normally works nicely. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:45, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- I only have f/8 or f/11. 多多123 18:46, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- It should be fully selectable, but f/8 works well. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:47, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi 多多123, since the keyword studio conditions was mentioned in relation to your QI nomination and you wrote that you are a novice that likes to accept suggestions for improvement, a little advice: For such photos, you can also use a white A4 or A3 sheet as background and underlay, slightly overexpose the background and then correct the exposure of the subject. If your subject cannot stand upright by itself, you could position something behind it. You can also use a white A4 or A3 sheet as a background and underlay for such photos, overexpose the background slightly and then correct the exposure of the subject. If your subject cannot stand upright by itself, you could position something behind it. This is how I took basically all the photos in my user category Tabletop photography and I think one can work with it quite well in the beginning. If daylight is not sufficient, you can use a torch as an indirect light source by holding it on another white sheet and placing the reflected light on your subject to create soft transitions. Regards Anil Ö. (talk) 04:01, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- The plan is to get a SB-910 next week, the "Reflector" diffusor and a lightbox. Read User talk:多多123#File:Kodak Brownie 127.jpg 多多123 10:35, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Italian Air Force Uniforms
Since commons seems to be the focus of your activities on wiki, I would like to add a comment on the ItAF Uniform issue here as well, because the explanation that I have already given you on my page on de.wikipedia is quite elaborate and in German. In simple terms, you added this section that is based on a book of the history of the ItAF; but this book refers to the history between 1923 and 1945 only, and therefore the description of the uniform is also related to that period of time. Here, here, here, here, and here you have added this section, generated by automatic translation from this section, pretending that these texts describe the details of the current uniform of the Aeronautica Militare, whereas in reality it is the description of the uniform of the 1920s, 30s and 40s. It is really misleading, and with all due respect I would like to ask you to remove these automatically translated sections. As far as the specific English article on the Uniforms of the Italian Armed Forces is concerned, the section from which this issue derives should be modified in order to clarify that the mentioned uniform is the first uniform of the service, used during the fascist period.

- Hello, the original text was not written by myself, I just translated it into the different Wikis. 多多123 15:19, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- That's true, but since the original text is misleading, your translations have the same effect. And please remember that automatically translated texts do not meet the linguistic standards of wikipedia. As far as I am concerned I think I will modify the original English text in order to give the mentioned clarification. But the translations cannot be modified, because their purpose is to describe the current uniform; the only solution is removing them, and in doing so, we also solve the mentioned linguistic problem.

2 misidentified plant images
Hi A.B.123/Archive, your images above are from the U.K., not from some Mediterranean country. Cheirolophus is a genus from the Meditarrenean area. AFAIK the involucral bracts look quite different. These two images look strongly like Cirsium vulgare because of the typical leaves on one of the images. I might be mistaken and this may be some other kind of thistle, but this is unlikely. So I changed the descriptions and the categories. The images should be renamed. Best regards --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 10:05, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- I disagree with Cirsium vulgare, those have more flat shaping. File:Cirsium sp (9389375723).jpg has more similar characteristics, I will request a move to BombusCirsium, in a more general term as I disagree with your identification, but will keep the description as it is. 多多123 16:44, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
So let's agree to disagree. Identification of thistles is not easy. Generally, you need much more than just a flower head for a good ID and you have no chance for an ID at all without some leaves. I don't know why Cirsium vulgare is supposed to have a "more flat shaping", but all the plants in the gallery above should be Cirsium vulgare. The involucral bracts are spreading in your photos as in Cirsium vulgare and there are some rather typical leaves near the flower head, whereas the involucral bracts in File:Cirsium sp (9389375723).jpg are appressed, without leaves near the top. File:Cirsium sp (9389375723).jpg might be Cirsium heterophyllum, but I am not entirely sure. At least this is a species very different from yours (and most certainly not Cirsium vulgare). We could speculate about hybrids, which is possible but still not very likely, or about some really odd Carduus specimen, but I doubt that. This may not be the nicest specimen of Cirsium vulgare, but it looks precisely like this species and I have no idea what else it could be in Britain. Cirsium eriophorum might be the most similar species in Britain, but it has much bigger flower heads and a lot of hairs at the involucral bracts that look like a spider web. Cirsium vulgare may or may not have some of these hairs. Best regards --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 18:01, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Another solution would be tagging it as Unidentified, and simply calling it a component of the Cirsium genus. 多多123 19:13, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- I certainly wouldn't mind that. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 20:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello!
I got the deletion notice for two of the files I worked on. I also read the comments on QI about downsamping and I'm sorry, it won't happen again. I did not know about the policy (or I just forgot about it) and I did not think people would take issue with the image sizes if they were well above the 2MP minimum (and even double the 6MP minimum I've seen some others arbitrarily enforce).
Anyway, I hope you're doing alright, and that we can still work together in the future. ReneeWrites (talk) 07:28, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- @ReneeWrites: It's totally not your fault! I think there's a way to avoid downsizing... I recently watched a video on "creating details" and upping sharpness. Here's the link [1], I'm not sure if you're already aware. I'm doing good, I just got a few car photos which I will upload soon. Of course we can still work together! :) Don't let a mistake stop you! 多多123 14:18, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
