Comment Impressively huge panorama of an impresssive vista, extremely great detail for a vario lens (EF24-70mm) even at 1:1 screen pixel resolution, 38mm must be near the "sweet spot", albeit the far lower corners are a bit soft. At first view when maximised I thought I had found a stitching artefact two finger widths from the left edge at almost exactly half height: looks like a short distance of gravel roadway coming diagonally from behind the hilltop at front which abruptly ends in nowhere. Upon close scrutination I'm sure the road simply levels out and continues almost invisibly to the right to disappear behind the next hillside. So all's OK! I would vote for support, were I but entitled to do so. Alas, still 39 wikipedia edits to go. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 13:04, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let Franz use my support vote. ;-) --Janke | Talk 09:10, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

why not pick an article Franz on something you know about and improve it. Won't take you long to get to 50 edits! Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:09, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Janke, @Charlesjsharp: Thanks for your encouragement!
In the past decennium I (and my wife) have continually been doing translation cleansing hither and thither whenever we stumbled upon wikipedia articles with obvious language deficiencies (both English and German), albeit all anonymously signed by daily changing IP addresses, until I decided to join wiki commons in 2018.
Last week I added a flurry of modern, high-resolution sensors to this List of sensors used in digital cameras, each with an appropriate reference (... ahem, once I had found out how to do so properly).
Upcoming to-do list: I've decided to have a bash at some of the articles centering on stereoscopy, and, of course, I'll keep up correcting typos and translation mistakes. We'll see. Thanks again. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 08:26, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
