Re: Image Gallery Template
No problem. I was struggling trying to come up with a pleasing layout, when Ravedave suggested I check out the sample "problem" images on Wikipedia:What_is_a_featured_picture?. I modified that layout slightly and that's what I use now. BTW, nice images in your gallery. I've seen many of them before, of course, but they make more of an impression grouped together and nicely formatted. -- Moondigger 23:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Congratulation!
your pictures are spectacular! Which use material? --Luc Viatour 11:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Diliff,
Impressive lighting/dynamic range - exposure bracket? Or some kind of flash unit? --Fir0002 22:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Re: My wiki picture contributions
Wow. I'm even more in awe now. They are simply amazing. Super kudos. :)
Yes, I had a bit of a fit of pique yesterday and made them all 'minimalist' in, you know, futile protest. :) There are archive links on my talk page on the top right hand corner - above the heading line.

I do not like the process for Solar_eclips_1999
afflicted for my English
The image of origin was on Common for all and now it is not any more that for “EN”
The licence of origin maintaining more than “CC”
Information was multiple on the catch of sight and the work of the image left” 1. Technique used in Photoshop to increase ....
And another thing to which that I would have appreciated: An email to Luc Viatour would be appreciated too.
Does your filter photoshops justify the loss of all that? --Luc Viatour 05:20, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
-
Eclipse 1999 (original common)
-
you version (en.wikipedia)
- answer:
Please, replace new image in common for all user (not only English)
replace all licence for new image
replace technical information for new image
It is more comprehensible? --Luc Viatour 10:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- answer:
It is ok for description, thank you
How to move it on common the new image? --Luc Viatour 11:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- answer:
It is perfect! Thank you and sorry for the disturbance and my English! --Luc Viatour 12:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Wow.
I'd like to congratulate you on your excellent work in photography. A user on IRC pointed me to your userpage, and I was blown away. Keep up the awesome work (and associated travel :-)). — Werdna talk criticism 11:56, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
FPC nomination
I've nominated your image, Image:Georgia Aquarium Tropical Tank.jpg for FPC, at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Georgia Aquarium Tropical Tank. And as everyone has already said, good work on the photography. Excellent images. --Tewy 04:01, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Diliff,
Is there any chance that you'd be willing to license your images under the CC-by-SA 1.0 license? I mainly contribute to Wikitravel and came across the aforementioned image which I think would be perfect for our Salzburg guide. Also, if you'd be willing to relicense images we could make great use of them and I'd be extremely thankful. -- Sapphire 02:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. It seems to me that you've traveled quite extensively and I'd like to personally encourage you to check out Wikitravel and see if contributing there would intrest you. -- Sapphire 02:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for that mate
Its not really a bot its just a few buttons I press when editing pages to clear up formating, thansk for pointing out the problem. -- JiMoThYTALK 11:41, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Adventure cats
I reverted your addtions of the 'point and click adventure games' category. The reason is that you put that in 'series titles' that included even non-point and click games. This cat should go to individual game articles (eg. Space Quest 6: The Spinal Frontier instead of Space Quest. Pictureuploader 07:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
POTD
This is to let you know the Featured Picture you uploaded and/or nominated Image:Versailles Chapel - July 2006 edit.jpg is scheduled to be Picture of the day on September 30, 2006, when it will be featured on the Main Page. Congratulations! howcheng {chat} 17:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Panorama template
Pengo came up with a panorama template which you can see in use e.g. in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. I also found a similar, but simpler template in the German Wikipedia, which I localized as Template:Wide image and put into usage in this revision of the Frankfurt article. I think this kind of presentation might do a lot to improve both the visibility and the usability of panorama pictures -- what do you think?--Eloquence* 04:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Talented
Your a very talented photographer. Nice work. 194.46.249.183 20:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Very Nice
I respect you for your extrodinary talent for taking photographs and panoramics. There is no one else like you on the English Wikipedia, and I think I speak for all Wikipedians when I say, Dont stop taking photographs.
P.S. Check my gallery out and tell me your opinion on my photography.

Featured picture promotion!
Grand Central Terminal
Hi. I reverted your removals, since the caption is correct. The flag was hung after 9/11, in honor. I saw it (& see it every day, it hangs right in the middle of the Main concourse). If you feel strongly that the flag picture should not be there, bring it up on the discussion page. It IS a currently-defining statement, & is by no means isolated. Keo 08:15, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Your camera
Please tell me your camera model, the focus is just amazing. I'm going to have to change camera, I'm not happy with the focus of non-DSLRs (I assume yours is a DSLR) Are you happy with it? (daft question!)- Adrian Pingstone 16:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Panorama & Panorama simple
G'day Diliff,
OK, I've put in some html code, so it shouldn't sit on top of existing images now. (let me know if it's still having trouble, cause it looked fine before too for me)
As for IE, i'm not sure why IE doesn't work and haven't had a chance to fiddle with it yet. In the meantime you can use the {{Panorama simple}} template instead, which works across browsers but doesn't look as pretty (i.e. like the Wide image template), but uses the same syntax as the Panorama template so it'll be easier to change back when/if that one gets fixed. (I've changed Royal Crescent to use it now). I've also put a notice up on {{panorama}} to warn of its lack of workingness on IE too. Hopefully i'll get a chance to get it working sometime (or maybe someone else will). —Pengo talk · contribs 23:07, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Another nomination
I've nominated your image, Image:Jersey City Skyline Jan 2006.jpg for FPC at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Jersey City Skyline. You know the drill. --Tewy 01:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Barnstar
Over the past few months, while writing the Wikipedia Signpost Features & Admins column, I have noticed absolutely fantastic featured pictures. Little did I know that you are responsible for a great deal of them! The Clock Tower was especially great. Now, I don't think one barnstar is enough, so I'm going to give you two! Have these two Photographer's Barnstars!

I, Ian Manka, award you this barnstar for having fantastic, high-resolution featured pictures. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 03:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC) |

Circles
Hey there! Would you mind revisiting Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Villarceau circles to see if you support the newer version of the image? Thanks for your comments! --HappyCamper 14:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Copyright questions
Hi there. I've been an admirer of your pics for a while. Although they are nothing like your own, i wanted to upload my own to wikipedia but was not sure on the copyright type i should chose. I took the photos and would preferably only want them to be used here on wikipedia. What are my choice of copyright on the upload page. and what does this offer me. Hope you have the time to help. Many thanks --Merbabu 13:42, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
What do you do..?
Hey, I was looking through your impressive collection of featured pictures and it struck me that you travel a hell of a lot. You're 27 and you've been all these amazing places! What do you do for a living? drumguy8800 C T 07:30, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Stitching
Hello, User:Howcheng suggested that I contact you about a question I have: What programs should I use for stitching? I've used Photoshop...tough for skies especially. I tried Autopano-Hugin-Enblend with limited success. I would just like to know how to improve my image:
. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)Buphoff 06:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Featured picture promotion
My Spitfire pic
Hi,
In case you're interested in doing a bit of re-editing, I've uploaded the original RAW file for the Spitfire pic here [1]. It'd be kinda nice if the featured pic (which I hope will be your edit) is properly processed from the RAW rather than an already compressed JPEG. I am slightly disappointed with the amount of noise in the original. I tend to default to ISO 200 since the amount of noise usually seems equal to that at ISO 100, with the added benefit of faster shutter speeds in lower light situations, but maybe I should have used ISO 100 since there was plenty of light that day. Thanks also for your comments on the Spitfire talk page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AFeatured_picture_candidates%2FSupermarine_Spitfire_XVI&diff=79459631&oldid=79457365 -- I'm 22 and started taking photos on a 35mm cameras maybe 15 years ago, though I am a pretty amateur photographer really, going to the airshow and taking the Spitfire pics was about the first time I used the camera in about six months! That said I enjoy studying technical manuals, and am a professional computer geek, which possibly helps ;) Thanks a lot.
