It has been mainly developed for Wikipedia administrators however if you have done lots to keep Wikipedia on "the straight and narrow", including being members of different groups which help Wikipedia i.e "The Welcoming Committee. We have selected to email you because you can apply for the doctorate and we would be very grateful if you did and put the userbox on your user page to boost advertising.

Second, and more importantly, I am seeking your valuable knowledge about iStockphoto.com. I have been considering getting an account there and attempting to make some supplemental, not work intensive, income. Before doing this however, I wanted to get an idea about what the income opportunity is. So, I figured I'd ask the resident iStockphoto seller about how much do you clear a month from your stock and how many and what kinds of pictures you have on there. Obviously if you feel uncomfortable telling me about what you are making from iStock, feel free to leave me an angry message on my talk page.

I've reviewed nearly 100,000 public domain images with an eye toward bringing more attention to the best encyclopedic ones among them, particularly those with historic value. Fewer than 1 in 1000 is even worth a second look and far fewer than that get to PPR or FPC (often after quite a while in Photoshop fixing dust and scratch marks two and three pixels wide). FP guidelines specifically allow editors to make some accommodations for balancing historic value against technical quality at FPC. I want you to know that I endeavor to make each of my nominations the very best scan and representation available of its kind. My workshop is at User:Durova/Landmark images if the idea interests you.

Cake questionThis is kind of silly, but I ran across your image here and I'm intrigued by the cake itself. I have to tell you, I've never seen peaches and chocolate on/in the same cake. So I'm curious: Do you know what kind of cake it was? Just chocolate and the peaches are used as a garnish, or did it have peaches inside also? Or was it the other way 'round, a different sort of cake and it just happens to have chocolate on the outside? I appreciate your help, and I'm also very impressed with your photography. I love photography and I mess around with it some, but I'm not nearly as good at it as you are. Keep up the good work. -- edi (talk) 22:19, 15 January 2008 (UTC) Horse racingHey Fir, Came across this.

Anyway, my purpose for coming here was just to give you the courtesy of informing you that I nominated "Dawn vignetting effect..." for FP... But, I guess you are getting accustomed to that. Well, Godspeed. Follow UpShit. I knew I'd forgotten something. Image:Sunset with funnel clouds.jpgHi, Peter,
I really really really loved this image. I just wrote about it where I nominated it for Commons QI and the discussion of it at enFPC was one of the funnier things I have read recently. I am here with a purpose which is not to a kiss photographers ass, believe it or not. I was wondering if you could detail the things you did to take the photograph on its talk page. I understand that there are guild like secrets involved and things like that; it is so very cool though -- and after too many decades which are made of years which are made of days, seeing a different yet mostly honest photographic representation of one of these was very very nice. My signature doesn't contain a link to my talk page here, I was having some problems with a princess and her 3 not 7 dwarves. User_talk:CarolSpears -- carol 16:11, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Question regarding Image:Popcorn02.jpgHi, Fir. Would you mind if I made a silly edit of Image:Popcorn02.jpg (after the manner of lolcats) and uploaded it to Commons under a different filename? I understand the it is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, so I could do it legally, but I wanted to get your permission first anyways. (Although I would prefer a high-quality image such as this one, I could, if necessary, produce my own photograph, though it would be mediocre. ;-) Anyways, thanks, Iamunknown 05:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
About that guild...I think a more diplomatic approach would have been to fill up your guild pages with some other peoples contibutions first. In its current state it looks like a shrine to yourself. I know, that's probably not your intention, but I bevieve that's how it's being perceived (see the harsh reactions on FPC talk). --Dschwen 16:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC) POTD notification Hi Peter, Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Two-lined gum treehopper03.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on February 6, 2008.

Queries from NZHi Peter, I've been in awe of your photos on wikipedia for a while (specifically your bird shots) and having looked at your profile I recalled recently the partnership with naturespics you struck up while trying to work out how to organise a similar arrangement myself. I'm in contact with a botanist in Auckland who has taken some great photos of NZ carnivorous plants ( a few articles on species found here still have no images at all) and he sounds keen on the idea of having them on wikipedia, I'm just not sure how I should approach uploading them - especially in terms of acknowledging that they're not my own shots. Any pointers? Also, I have recently developed an interest in photography having bought my first camera ( a Canon powershot S5 IS; fairly basic I know but you have to start somewhere) - my particular interests are wildlife and landscape photgraphy. Do you have any advice for me as a beginner in these areas? Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Hope you guys are having a good summer!

Anyway, I notice that several other users have now got profiles. I happen to be second in the list, simply because I was second to create a profile. Not that it probably matters that much as I don't suppose it's a status ranking or anything, but I thought some of the others probably should be above me in the list. I'd move myself down, but don't how or whether you can do so. What do you reckon? --jjron (talk) 06:47, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Mangostar (talk) 17:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC) Quick Question...Hi, If I remember correctly, you use adobe camera raw to do your workflow so I figured you might know the answer to this annoyance I've been bothered by for some time. That is, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to make the JPGs saved out of ACR to be sRBG by default. It always reverts to using Adobe RBG and since much of my work is for online use I have no use for adobe RBG. So, if you know how to make it a default that'd save me a ton of time.

I need an image for a non-barnstar Wikipedia award with the theme "World Traveler". I was thinking perhaps the following image, without the barnstar, and with the globe (or another one) superimposed over the Wikipedia globe (or the Wikipedia globe superimposed over it) - I'd like to see the world's countries and the puzzle pieces (with the continents more prominent). The image also needs a passport laying on the surface beneath the globe stand (where its shadow is, but the shadow should be retained as well). The image's background must be transparent (not white like the background of the image below). File:Interlingual Barnstar.png Is this something you can tinker around with? If so, please contact me on my talk page. I look forward to your reply. The Transhumanist 17:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
File:Globe stand with transparent background.png
File:Blue Puzzle Marble in stand.png Now all that's needed is the passport. I just created this passport front cover, from scratch using the GIMP and Image:Wikipedia logo gold.png.
What I'd like to do is lay it down at an angle on the surface below the globe stand. But then it would need pages, because its edge would be showing. What I need is the above cover integrated with the below picture, which will require changing the size, perspective, and rotation of the new cover so it can be placed on top of this one. Can you do this?
I just started using the GIMP yesterday, so I'm sure you're better at graphics design than me. I'm hoping you know a fast way to do this, so you can whip it out in 10 minutes. I look forward to your response. The Transhumanist 00:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

A couple of questionsHi, I noted that you use a sigma 150mm lens for many of your photographs. I am considering the purchase of this lens for among other things the photography of butterflies. Since they are typically moving and one would want a reasonable depth of field, flash would most likely be required. The canon E-TTL2 connecting cord is rather ridiculously expensive for what it is in my view. Would a hot shoe mounted flash with a soft box or similar cause a shadow with the sigma 150mm? How much luck do you think I'd have photographing butterflies in manual mode? (A PC cord cord connection is far cheaper and also more versatile at the expense of E-TTL).

Its currently a low-key private beta and doesn't catch everything as they're still in the process of scouring the web, but it is extremely easy to use. Theres even a firefox/IE add-in available that lets you right click an image in the browser and it'll automatically find all uses of the image its aware of. Even if theres a watermark, or it has been cropped or edited subtly! Very clever and worth checking out. You need to apply and they'll send you an email when you've been accepted though as its still in beta.

If you could look it over and see if you can restore the original border that would help a lot. If you think the cropped version is better then that's less work for us both. Thanks for your time. victorrocha (talk) 21:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC) I'm using a rotated version of the image as non-repeated background on my private non commercial site. There is a link to Commons with the text "Thanks to Fir0002 on Wikipedia for the spider photo". --alef (talk) 16:56, 29 July 2008 (UTC) Congratulations!Great job Fir0002, I really enjoy your images. Keep up the good work. I appreciate beautiful photography myself, and am looking to learn more about professional photography. Do you know any good tutorial websites, somewhere where I can learn more about advanced settings like apertures and shutter speeds? --Simpsons fan 66 05:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
A Rather Interesting Abuse (?) of Guild Award...There is a flickr group here that uses the guild award on each photo it invites. There are literally thousands of times the award is put in the image comments of various photos, a good example being this. Anyway, you may be in some way affiliated with the group or have licensed the photo but I thought I'd let you know about it. Really, its not just that they are taking the award but the whole idea of a "Master photographer guild". Best -Fcb981(talk:contribs) 03:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Eric, Thanks for bringing this to my attention as I had no idea there was a TM infringement with the award code. That may explain a number of things I have been trying to figure out.. Regards, Steve
