Candidare un immagine

Linee guida per candidare un'immagine

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

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

Regole generali

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

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

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.

•  Support Sorry but I fail to see what's so wrong with this that it deserves to be FPX'd. Re. educational value: photograph of a well known film director by a well known German portrait photographer who is sufficiently notable to have an English wikipedia article. Re. poor quality: resolution is not huge but it is adequate for FP (5.7 megapixels). Good sharpness at full size, even the individual hairs on Mr von Trier's beard are visible. I don't really like the choice to cut it out and place it on a white background but that is Herr Mark's artistic choice. I find the optical illusion impressive (I've seen it before but it continues to impress) - and I also appreciate Mark's artistic intention in using a slightly psychedelic, 'trippy' kind of background for a portrait of a director known for his avant-garde, dark, and provocative filmmaking. Overall FP to me. I think this is the first time I've ever contested an FPX but I sincerely think this picture deserves more debate. Cmao20 (talk) 22:48, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Info Anna's magnificent sea slugs (Chromodoris annae), Anilao, Philippines. This species of nudibranch is found in the central area of the Indo-Pacific region and can reach depths of between 15–30 metres (49–98 ft). It can reach a maximum size of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) length. Its diet consists only of Petrosaspongia sp., a group of sponge, due to its noxious chemical composition. It's able to absorb this compound and store it in glands that stretch around the mantle. These stored chemicals are unpleasant to some surrounding fish, allowing Chromodoris annae to avoid predation. Note: we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:09, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

  Since I know that if I don't do it, there's every chance someone else is going to, and possibly upload over, I've uploaded a cropped version as well. I don't think the crop is as useful for most uses: This is a self-portrait, after all, so the frame is Bogardus's creation, or at least artistic decision - but I think it's often better to not leave it to others to make.

Thank you! – Aristeas (talk) 17:23, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

  Aristeas, not a native English speaker, but I speak "water vessel". These kind of vessels are called Riverboats or Tour boats in English, so that will make it a boat and not a ship. People sometimes get confused by the designation "SS" in front of the name of similar boats, but that doesn't mean "steam ship", see the article Steamship. --Cart (talk) 09:58, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Support It’s a matter of taste, but personally I would regard the TD Terrace skyscraper as rather ugly and boring. But I love this detail of its glass façade. The photographer has found a perspective from which the lower corner appears as a perfect continuous curve, like the graph of a mathematical function, resulting in a beautiful minimalist composition. – Aristeas (talk) 16:34, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Comment Hem, a small part of the background right over her head is looking strange, like retouched. This could be a hint that the background or a part of it has been exchanged, contributing to the artificial look mentioned by Kritzolina. – Aristeas (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

  Sorry, I have to correct myself. When we compare other photos from the same event which show indentical background colours (e.g. 1, 2), it seems the photographer has just removed the black border between the colours because here it appeared right behind Sweeney’s head which was certainly irritating. So the background is mostly authentic. I guess it’s the almost symmetric arrangement and the front-heavy lighting which give the artificial impression. It’s the same with similar portraits from the same event (e.g.), while the more casual shots (e.g.) look natural. – Aristeas (talk) 21:00, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Quality is good but when I compare it to this recent nomination, the other picture, while also obviously in a glamorous publicity setting, feels more candid and spontaneous. This one feels staged and artificial by comparison. So, mainly agree with Kritzolina. Cmao20 (talk) 00:48, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

• Answer: I assume so, it certainly looked authentic. It never occurred to me that it wasn't meant to be that way.

•  Support Sorry but I fail to see what's so wrong with this that it deserves to be FPX'd. Re. educational value: photograph of a well known film director by a well known German portrait photographer who is sufficiently notable to have an English wikipedia article. Re. poor quality: resolution is not huge but it is adequate for FP (5.7 megapixels). Good sharpness at full size, even the individual hairs on Mr von Trier's beard are visible. I don't really like the choice to cut it out and place it on a white background but that is Herr Mark's artistic choice. I find the optical illusion impressive (I've seen it before but it continues to impress) - and I also appreciate Mark's artistic intention in using a slightly psychedelic, 'trippy' kind of background for a portrait of a director known for his avant-garde, dark, and provocative filmmaking. Overall FP to me. I think this is the first time I've ever contested an FPX but I sincerely think this picture deserves more debate. Cmao20 (talk) 22:48, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Info Anna's magnificent sea slugs (Chromodoris annae), Anilao, Philippines. This species of nudibranch is found in the central area of the Indo-Pacific region and can reach depths of between 15–30 metres (49–98 ft). It can reach a maximum size of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) length. Its diet consists only of Petrosaspongia sp., a group of sponge, due to its noxious chemical composition. It's able to absorb this compound and store it in glands that stretch around the mantle. These stored chemicals are unpleasant to some surrounding fish, allowing Chromodoris annae to avoid predation.

  Since I know that if I don't do it, there's every chance someone else is going to, and possibly upload over, I've uploaded a cropped version as well. I don't think the crop is as useful for most uses: This is a self-portrait, after all, so the frame is Bogardus's creation, or at least artistic decision - but I think it's often better to not leave it to others to make.

Thank you! – Aristeas (talk) 17:23, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

  Aristeas, not a native English speaker, but I speak "water vessel". These kind of vessels are called Riverboats or Tour boats in English, so that will make it a boat and not a ship. People sometimes get confused by the designation "SS" in front of the name of similar boats, but that doesn't mean "steam ship", see the article Steamship. --Cart (talk) 09:58, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

  Sorry, I have to correct myself. When we compare other photos from the same event which show indentical background colours (e.g. 1, 2), it seems the photographer has just removed the black border between the colours because here it appeared right behind Sweeney’s head which was certainly irritating. So the background is mostly authentic. I guess it’s the almost symmetric arrangement and the front-heavy lighting which give the artificial impression. It’s the same with similar portraits from the same event (e.g.), while the more casual shots (e.g.) look natural. – Aristeas (talk) 21:00, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Quality is good but when I compare it to this recent nomination, the other picture, while also obviously in a glamorous publicity setting, feels more candid and spontaneous.

•  Info The Triangle of Everything is a log-log chart of everything that has existed since the Big Bang or could ever have existed. All existing objects are bound by three lines: the Compton Limit, the Schwarzschild radius, and the Hubble radius. The vertices are the Big Bang on the right, the Observable universe on the top left, and the heat death of the universe / true vacuum / zero-point energy universe on the bottom left.
•  Support Well made graphics with a lot of useful information. This is more than #Astronomy, so may be it should be in #Science. -- Yann (talk) 12:27, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Oppose For 2 reasons: 1) Visually, you can't read the texts written in small size, unless it's displayed huge like a poster. 2) Too much of "everything / anything", that is obviously too complex, specific and cluttered, with unnecessary curved arrows, ellipses, or asterisks in captions saying "Asterisk means still hypothetical", etc. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:10, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Oppose To me the light feels ordinary, and makes the scene appear flat. And, the background is busy and just as in focus as the subject, which is distracting. Though I couldn't produce a better result in the same setting. Henrysz (talk) 04:00, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Question Are these flashy sportswear pieces part of the artist's original work? It's possible but I tried to find some information about this sculptor on Google, and didn't find much other than this and this, where no evidence is given that this artist dresses his works of art. As here for the sculpture Het Lieverdje by Carel Kneulman in Amsterdam, compared to the original. -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:46, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

• Answer: I assume so, it certainly looked authentic. It never occurred to me that it wasn't meant to be that way. If this had been an inappropriate joke, I think the clothes would have been removed long ago because the artworks were viewed regularly. I also scanned the information on the sculpture with my phone and you also saw photos of a dressed boy.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 06:29, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

It’s sharp where it matters, and the soft transition from sharp to unsharp gives it a delicate quality which is very appropriate for this subject and which I sometimes miss in the focus-stacked images. – Aristeas (talk) 14:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
