Dear Gordo and list Thanks - I didn't know about HDR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-dynamic-range_imaging This phenomenon was troubling me too, and now I have a name for it. Personally, all I do before uploading images to Commons is the occassional rotation, crop or slight sharpen. However, I've been uploading too many images to have time for much else. As for WLM, I don't recall any mention in the judging criteria of the desirability (or otherwise) of various post-processing techniques. If I was looking to select an image for a Wikipedia article, I would be reluctant to choose a heavily-stylized image. Of course, WLM and Commons are not looking to merely provide an image bank for Wikipedia. Perhaps the judges could consider providing some guidance about HDR and other post-processing techniques for next year's WLM ? best wishes Edward Hands (Edwardx) On 12 December 2014 at 12:57, Gordon Joly gordon.j...@pobox.com wrote: during the creation of a calendar of the most impressive photos from Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2014 (and several other countries) I learned about re-use: * Wiki Loves Monuments is not a registered trademark - the publisher was very afraid of violating a trademark * photos without description nearly useless (Church is not an adequate description) * low resolution is a common problem * in the publishing industry nobody knows about Creative Commons licenses (Is CC-BY-SA-3.0 the artist's name?) * landscape mode beats upright mode Can I say how much I dislike the very obvious of HDR in many images?

Perhaps in future years we could request that participants upload the original (give or take a little cropping/rotation/other things that wouldn't be seen as affecting the 'authenticity' of the photo) as well as the HDR'd version?

This will not end well. To put it mildly. Start with the technical issues. 5DIII does in camera HDR as does any camera that you can instal Magic Lantern on. Originals are impossible to upload since commons doesn't support RAW. More politically authenticity is a very charged word in photo circles (insert claims about amount of stuff done in darkrooms). Wikipedia deals with it by not caring. The issue is best dealt with by choosing judges that don't like over the top tone mapping. -- geni ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk
