Replacement pics

Hey there. It's been a while since I criticized your replacement pics, uh? I noticed a common thread in several of those: bad backlighting. I'm not a photographer, but I seen to understand backlighting in general can be hard to deal with? It's leaving bad washout on several of the new images. Circéus (talk) 03:57, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

  • St Saviour's, Eastbourne: This is a case were I agree the new pic is much better colorwise, but the original angle is far superior. As I've noted before, I think images that shows the entrance or context are better than an elevation that is hard to interpret, I guess it's a bit of a "lesser evil", as the old pic is definitely poorly lit.

  • Holy Trinity, Eastbourne: The new elevation shows the entrance, but that big tree smack in the middle and the sign on the left are just as bad as the washed-out look. Plus the perspective shot reveals the nice triple aisle (or however that should be called) structure, which you could never suspect from the other image. If it weren't for the tree, I wouldn't suggest a revert at the list's size (though the other arguments I would make if it were for the infobox image).

  • Ceylon Place Baptist: The "tilting" of the new pics can probably be fixed with better framing, but my main issue is the "glare"-like in the areas receiving direct light. In a small shot, I think the original looks better.

  • Salvation Army Citadel: I remember you substituting a few pics because you had new ones without cars, so I'm especially disappointed here. That yellow car in particular is really distracting at the small size!

  • Christian Praying Center, Eastbourne: In this case I'd argue that huge wall jutting in the middle of the image is at _least_ as bad as the car in the original, taking over the church as the main element of the image, and I'm not sure that there's any good to be said about the entire right half of the image...

  • Gordon Road Evangelical, Hailsham: Another "lesser evil" choice... Here the original image is the one with the backlighting issue (and a huge glare too), but that SUV definitely takes away a lot of the replacement pic's value.

  • Emmanuel Church: Sad washed out photo is washed out. Although I would prefer an image without that cone and cars, the washing out does make for a worse replacement.

  • St George Catholic, Polegate: The washed outness (I did say it was a recurrent problem with this set of changes XD) is less visible at the smaller size, but still definitely present.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Technical question about how to cite a particular "type" of website

Well, I could not figure out all of the parameters. I did get a Britain and East Sussex search screen, but I couldn't get it to autoexecute:

You probably noticed that the map function for a particular location does display the url for linking. The following is for Red Barn Mews, Battle:

  • http://www.jw.org/apps/index.html?option=ZNCPrGPG&aPoints[]=14449*&aPoints[]=14450&aPoints[]=14451&aPoints[]=14432&aPoints[]=14433&aPoints[]=14434&aPoints[]=14435&aPoints[]=14436&aPoints[]=14437&aPoints[]=14416&aPoints[]=14452&aPoints[]=14453&aPoints[]=266239&aPoints[]=14454&aPoints[]=14455&aPoints[]=14456&aPoints[]=14457&aPoints[]=14458&aPoints[]=14442&aPoints[]=14443&txtExpiration=1353106172&txtMapCode=6379ee90f850b5de8488b416c63d3222&txtAction=MAP&txtMapIDType=CONG

I suggest that you contact the folks at jw.org with your goal and see if they can give you the information. Sorry I wasn't more help. --Bejnar (talk) 22:32, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the corrections to List of works by R. H. Carpenter, especially the photo — I seem to remember getting in a bit of a tangle about those two churches. But it's now untangled. Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:08, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
