2023 Washington Open

Wikipedia had no photo of world No. 24 Zheng Qinwen until now. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 21:49, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

@JamesAndersoon, Kacir, and Marcric: Hey tennis folks, hope you're all doing well. I notice your names in my watchlist often, and I'm glad the photos I've uploaded are getting noticed and cropped and used. I've just finished uploading ~800 of the ~3200 photos I took during three days at the Washington Open this week.

My goal in Washington was to take photos of players whose images were missing from Wikipedia, and I think I got all of those singles players. I also like asking players for portraits, something not usually done by professional photographers on tour.

You may notice a new camera in the metadata – it makes taking action shots significantly easier and makes everything much sharper and, with the new lens, larger even. Compare Dasha in daylight in Paris to at nighttime in Washington. I'm just an amateur, so it'll take some more practice to (for example) better keep subjects in frame, but it's a worthy upgrade.

Hi Hameltion, I am currently writing the Citi Open on the Czech version, where I will move the article to the Washington Open. I noticed your photos from Washington, they are great. And finally we have a picture of Zheng Qinwen! I also missed the picture in the cs version WTA Awards. Thanks for the nice photos, Cheers Kacir (talk) 22:10, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Hameltion, as already said the priority is for players not pictured before. Thank you for your contribution. 🤜🤛 --Marcric (talk) 23:44, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello Hameltion, I'm so thankful for your contribution. Unfortunately, there are just a few sources where you can find images of WTA players - usually it's https://www.flickr.com/photos/sirobi/. I totally agree that players with not even one picture have a priority! Btw, I like your images a lot! Bravo!

p.s. Can't believe this day come that Zheng Qinwen get a photo - I thought it last forever xD JamesAndersoon (talk) 16:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

​​​Thanks all for the kind words, good to hear from you. And @Pommée, you're another in this group I appreciate for finding my photos usable. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 22:39, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello Hameltion, first of all: many thanks for the photo's that you contribute to Wikimedia Commons. Indeed, I find them very useful. I am surprised to hear that you are not a professional photographer, because your way of working is, in my view, lightyears better than that of most amateurs that have their images added to Commons. Nice detail: when I watched Diede de Groot and María Florencia Moreno playing at Roland Garros (video by Eurosport), after the match I noticed you taking this picture of them, one half of which now illustrates her Dutch Wikipedia article, thanks to you! Keep up the good work, Pommée (talk) 14:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

BTW: is there anything you could do to prevent your upright photo's from showing up sideways in the crop tool? Although I have learned how to crop images in sideways position, it is easier to do in the normal upright position. Cheers, Pommée (talk) 15:03, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Pommée, that's warm praise. Yeah, the rotation issue is a little annoying, and probably has to do with the Orientation | Rotated 90° CW in photo metadata; maybe CropTool should import that data? Other random photos taken with digital Canons do the same thing. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 01:16, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Pics

Hi - just wondering if you had any pics from the 2nd Cary challenger this year. 2603:6080:68F0:A210:E014:465A:9A7:59F8 01:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, there are quite a few photos I haven't uploaded yet. I was there Wednesday, September 13. Will upload pictures of players like Eero Vasa, Connor Thomson, Tristan Schoolkate, etc. eventually. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 01:20, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Abzeronow (talk) 23:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I've tagged an empty category for speedy deletion. Kacir (talk) 16:34, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Categories need parent categories

Thank you for creating a new category or categories. When creating new categories as you did at Category:Jessica Berman, please try to include one or more parent categories:

• All categories should be a subcategory of another category.
• For categories about specific people, this would generally include [[Category:People by name]]
• See Commons:Categories, especially How to create a new category.

Categories that lack parent categories appear on one of these reports:

• Commons:Report Special:UncategorizedCategories
• Commons:Report UncategorizedCategories with infobox

Please make sure your categories aren't in these reports by adding categories to them.

Thank you. (This is a standardized talk page message)
