== Frage ==

Hi Richard, wie ich [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/Image:Melanargia_galathea_01_(MK).JPG&diff=prev&oldid=23070450 hier] geschrieben hab ist mein aktuelles Objektiv nicht gerade der Hammer. Deshalb bin ich auf der Suche nach einem neuen (vorrangig erstmal für Macros). Eigentlich würde ich ja gerne das 90mm macro von Tamron nehmen aber ich dachte mir vieleicht hast du als ''Macro Freak'' {{smile}} noch andere Alternativen zur Auswahl. Oder kannst mir sagen ob das eine gute oder nicht so gute Wahl ist?! Wie ich schon sagte sollte es auch nicht sooo schrecklich teuer sein... Danke schonmal und besten Gruß [[User:Leviathan1983|Leviathan]] ([[User talk:Leviathan1983|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 11:34, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

:Ahoi Leviathan, das 90er für einen Neupreis von etwa 300 Euro ist eine gute Wahl für Sony Kameras. Bestimmt gibt es das auch gebraucht, allerdings für Sony etwas seltener. Der Mindestabstand für 1:1 Shots ist bei dem 90er aber nicht gerade groß, das solltest du bedenken. Wenn du Sonytreu bist und bleibst {{smile}} könntest du auch noch etwas tiefer in die Tasche greifen und dir das Tamron 180er oder das Sigma 150er holen, da würden dann keine Wünsche mehr offen bleiben bezüglich Abstand. Fir, Luc Viatour und Muhammad haben das Sigma 150, Noodle Snacks und ich benutzen das Tamron 180.

::Na das ist doch schon mal ne Aussage! Über das Sigma habe ich auch schon nachgedacht, is ja auch nicht so viel teurer... Das 180er Tamron werde ich mir auch mal angucken, obwohl ich glaube das das meine Preisgrenze doch erstmal sprengen wird.

== stats chart on your user page; possible bug ==

hi richard;

the "My user statistics" box on your userpage isn't displaying correctly on my screen; & i've tested it using 2 different web browsers (OS = ubuntu, webbrowsers = epiphany & galoen; both older versions, both mozilla/gecko-derived); not sure if it's just my comp, or something in the page itself, & didn't want to try "fixing" it myself, but thought you should know.

the bars display correctly, but the section "Files... ?" is cut off; the numbers are only partly visible

you might want to consider testing by having different people, with differing web browsers & operating systems try to load the page & see if any of them experience the same problem?

== Frage II ==

Ahoi Richard, ich bins nochmal. Und zwar habe ich beim Objektivangebot durchsuchen ein ''Tamron 70-300mm Macro'' gefunden. Vom Preis her ist es ganz angenehm (ca 150€) und die Rezessionen klingen auch ganz nett. Makroabbildung is zwar nur 1:2 aber besser als mein jetziges ist es wohl allemal. Mindestabstand beim Makromodus (180-300mm) is ca 92cm. Kannst du mir dazu vieleicht was sagen? Ist das akzeptabel oder eher Schrott?! Besten Dank schonmal !!

File:Middelgrunden wind farm 2009-07-01 edit filtered.jpg|Initial clumsy edit
</gallery>

Could you help me? I took this photo on a rare calm wind day with glossy sea in this strange summer haze with deep blue colors everywhere, no clear line between sea and horizon on a ship outside the Copenhagen harbour some weeks ago. I think it has FPC potential, but there are some technical problems with the original. I would like to apply some digital darkroom work on it to make it look a bit better, but I am awfully clumsy myself at doing it, and I was wondering if you would care taking a shot on it. Actually, {{u|Lycaon}} has already tried helping me by improving my clumsy edit, but he did not have the original available when he tried. i have uploaded that now as i think is better to work from that. You can just replace the clumsy edit I have made. If you do not feel for it and/or do not have the time it is perferctly OK, no offense will be taken.

** Thanks {{lol}}. The colors in the original are pretty accurate, only had I set my exposure to -1 because I feared that the tips of the wings would give blown areas - as that would've been the case with my compact camera. Inspecting the histogram afterwards I doubt that is the case so the original is just simply too dark - still not used to having a better camera... Anyway concerning the first edit I am a little confused as to what you have done there? Anyway the colors in that edit does not seem right at all (too pale), but the spot removal is excellent. The following edits are closer to what I saw, I think the real world scenario is somewhere between Moody look and Moody look 2. Although Moody look 2 looks perhaps best in thumbnail, it appears overprocessed to me on closer inspection. Do you follow me on that? Did you apply noise reduction? (It appears not) The original is at ISO 100, but due to the low exposure quite some noise is present there (as expected) after the curves. I was wondering if a gentle combined noise reduction/sharpening could slightly improve it - I would not like to remove too much noise as it also brings some texture and structure into the background and the turbines (as we say in radar signal processing (my professional domain), "the signal is in the noise"). I could do that in a last step with Noiseware, which I have. In my clumsy edit, I have cropped the photo, eliminating some space at the top and to the right. Does that seem like an improvement to you? Again thanks for spending your time on me and my nitpicking. --[[User:Slaunger|Slaunger]] ([[User talk:Slaunger|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 17:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

** Yes, very good.
