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.

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}}  Keep per far sì che l'immagine rimanga nella vetrina.
  • {{Rimuovere}}  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.

"Wait for me daddy":British Columbia Regiment, DCO, marching in New Westminster, 1940
Photographically the focus is wrong (and the crop tight at the left), it's a shame, but this image has its own story (and yes, also own article on en-wiki). It has become an iconic photograph. We should take this into account.
Finally, a reminder about the voting process. COM:FPC: The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image, not by the cultural context of the observer. An image "speaks" to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, happiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations... -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:37, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, I hear you. I guess it's more a matter of taste and what the image is being used for. In my opinion, for a piece of art to be hung on the wall, it would be wonderful. But in an encyclopedic context, the heavy-handed processing is just to much. At least for me. Given the artistic merit, I'd be perfectly ok with it being promoted.--Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:37, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ok, fair, thank you for your feedback. I made some changes, please, have a look. To your question, please, don't upload versions on your own, that makes no sense. I have the RAW file as source and if somebody requests a change later one I wouldn't have the right version, so it makes sense that I do those changes. Furthermore I consider myself skilled enough to make a tilt or change the WB. I believe that uploading an own version is appropiate if the author requests for help of if the uploader is not active on Commons. Poco a poco (talk) 16:12, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre, Paris.
  • Thanks for the correction of the verticals. About the horizontal lines, I'm sorry to disagree, after having taken the time to listen the arguments (Aristeas's in particular) and looking at maps, I believe that such a distance of the camera associated to such a minor angle (to the right) cannot realistically justify a strong horizontal inclination. This could be calculable geometrically :-)
I think this aspect is correct. Top AND bottom -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Basile, thank you very much for your additional effort and for your edited version! My statement (below) was mostly about the obvious misalignment between the axes of the church and the balcony. You are right that this does not necessarily imply the strength of the horizontal inclination and hence of the differences of the height e.g. of the two horses or of the two minor domes. There must be some difference, and it should indeed be possible to calculate it, but this exceeds my possibilites. So it is quite possible that these differences could/should be smaller and more like in your edited version – which indeed looks very appealing. I would like to ask you to upload your edited version as a derivative file to Commons; I guess that many people would appreciate your version. Best, – Aristeas (talk) 16:14, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for your efforts with this difficult object. If I'm honest, I like Basile's version the best. In this version the cross looks a bit crooked. But please wait with any further changes until the other colleagues have given their opinion. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 19:08, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support this version. Improved from the previous one, in my opinion. This might be a guess, but mine above too, and I find the perspective credible in this case. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fresco of Apollon by Francesco Zugno in the foyer of the Teatro Grande in Brescia
 Comment I'm glad you say that, this is trompe-l'œil and the painter Francesco Battaglioli did a perfect job because the ceiling is flat. The black spots on the right are floodlights I could not hide.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Good point :-) Sorry, I don't read Italian (for the title) though I think the word Trompe-l'œil is missing there. Still, there is "flat" and "flat", and the camera doesn't seem in the axis. The bottom and the sides are not symmetrical. To be honest, at first sight my eyes were attracted by the distracting black shape. That part could be cropped out. The two columns at the bottom are showing the same perspective, as if the picture was taken from the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm terribly sorry, I was tromped, the right part is missing. Trompe-l'oeil is in the English description, the other is just the filename. By the way I was going to delete my comment. You can see it in the other fotos of the painting.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Re-updated comment Yes, after looking at this view I realized my first impression was rather right. And it seems also possible to take the picture from the center, like here. Thanks for your comment. -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:56, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And at least I was fooled a short time at thinking it was a real trompe-l'oeil :-) Is maybe worth visiting again :-) Basile Morin (talk) 23:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Wow, “seasoned users” – I must remember that cultivated phrase. Very useful, as nobody can say for sure whether this is a respectful description or a refined insult.

  • Disagree. You will see more details if the photo is better exposed. Currently the contrasts are very hard to distinguish, especially at thumbnail size.
Note that you can also see a lot of details here, although the photo is underexposed too. And that one was properly fixed.
Hard to hear that "it's impossible to agree with the claim that this image is underexposed" while the two first reviewers here both find the image too dark :-) Then above you write "This lighting choice is intentional here, designed to give the image a slightly dramatic effect" (by the way, I don't understand this dramatic intention. It's just a close-up of an animal, no special background / context). Sorry, clear light problem for me, in state -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Wait for me daddy":British Columbia Regiment, DCO, marching in New Westminster, 1940
Photographically the focus is wrong (and the crop tight at the left), it's a shame, but this image has its own story (and yes, also own article on en-wiki). It has become an iconic photograph. We should take this into account.
Finally, a reminder about the voting process. COM:FPC: The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image, not by the cultural context of the observer. An image "speaks" to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, happiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations... -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:37, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, I hear you. I guess it's more a matter of taste and what the image is being used for. In my opinion, for a piece of art to be hung on the wall, it would be wonderful. But in an encyclopedic context, the heavy-handed processing is just to much. At least for me.

  • Ok, fair, thank you for your feedback. I made some changes, please, have a look. To your question, please, don't upload versions on your own, that makes no sense. I have the RAW file as source and if somebody requests a change later one I wouldn't have the right version, so it makes sense that I do those changes. Furthermore I consider myself skilled enough to make a tilt or change the WB. I believe that uploading an own version is appropiate if the author requests for help of if the uploader is not active on Commons. Poco a poco (talk) 16:12, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre, Paris.
  • Thanks for the correction of the verticals. About the horizontal lines, I'm sorry to disagree, after having taken the time to listen the arguments (Aristeas's in particular) and looking at maps, I believe that such a distance of the camera associated to such a minor angle (to the right) cannot realistically justify a strong horizontal inclination. This could be calculable geometrically :-)
I think this aspect is correct. Top AND bottom -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Basile, thank you very much for your additional effort and for your edited version! My statement (below) was mostly about the obvious misalignment between the axes of the church and the balcony. You are right that this does not necessarily imply the strength of the horizontal inclination and hence of the differences of the height e.g. of the two horses or of the two minor domes. There must be some difference, and it should indeed be possible to calculate it, but this exceeds my possibilites. So it is quite possible that these differences could/should be smaller and more like in your edited version – which indeed looks very appealing. I would like to ask you to upload your edited version as a derivative file to Commons; I guess that many people would appreciate your version. Best, – Aristeas (talk) 16:14, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for your efforts with this difficult object. If I'm honest, I like Basile's version the best. In this version the cross looks a bit crooked. But please wait with any further changes until the other colleagues have given their opinion. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 19:08, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support this version. Improved from the previous one, in my opinion. This might be a guess, but mine above too, and I find the perspective credible in this case. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fresco of Apollon by Francesco Zugno in the foyer of the Teatro Grande in Brescia
 Comment I'm glad you say that, this is trompe-l'œil and the painter Francesco Battaglioli did a perfect job because the ceiling is flat. The black spots on the right are floodlights I could not hide.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Good point :-) Sorry, I don't read Italian (for the title) though I think the word Trompe-l'œil is missing there. Still, there is "flat" and "flat", and the camera doesn't seem in the axis. The bottom and the sides are not symmetrical. To be honest, at first sight my eyes were attracted by the distracting black shape. That part could be cropped out. The two columns at the bottom are showing the same perspective, as if the picture was taken from the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm terribly sorry, I was tromped, the right part is missing. Trompe-l'oeil is in the English description, the other is just the filename. By the way I was going to delete my comment. You can see it in the other fotos of the painting.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Re-updated comment Yes, after looking at this view I realized my first impression was rather right. And it seems also possible to take the picture from the center, like here. Thanks for your comment. -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:56, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
