Shells[edit]
Many thanks. I think, You can send the shells as a parcel. In the customs declaration, it is best to state "scientific material, no commercial value". Greetings --Llez (talk) 15:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

- @W.carter: Happy New Year! Is that a friend of yours? — Rhododendrites talk | 21:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Unfortunately not. Since I'm very allergic, it's hard for me to have animals as friends. But I'm totally shameless when it comes to stealing short moments with dogs or cats I meet when I'm out and about with the camera. :-) The camera is a good way of striking up conversations and get a few moments of quality animal time. --Cart (talk) 21:59, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

- @Aristeas: Happy New Year! Smart move making the card a template. That way you can wait until we've all archived it and forgotten and change it to something crazy. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 21:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Rhododendrites, good idea. ;–) I was aware that normally such “cards” are either distributed via copy and paste or by inserting a template with
{{subst:...}}
– the result is the same. I also thought about the potential abuse of a template. But I am so used to avoid redundancy in anything related to coding that I cound not stand the idea to duplicate the same text so many times, therefore I opted for using a template. I hope this is tolerable. At least any subsequent changes can be tracked easily by looking at the template’s revision history. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 10:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rhododendrites, Happy hollidays. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:43, 29 December 2023 (UTC) 16:52, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, Ottawahitech. [Belatedly] same to you! Glad you like that photo -- first time I'd ever seen that "UFO" style of architecture, I think. — Rhododendrites talk | 21:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, it is not the architecture that drew my uneducated attention. It was the trees framing the buildings. I have studied many of your photos, and I love the look of the trees, mainly the tree trunks. But as I said I have a totally untrained eye. Cheers, Ottawahitech (talk) 19:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Ottawahitech: At some point while fellow WikiNYC folks were working on en:Trees of New York City I had a thought to make portraits of trees. I set up User:Rhododendrites/trees for past photos, but I guess I forgot about it until now... — Rhododendrites talk | 20:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

QI nomination[edit]
Hi! Just letting you know that I nominated File:Flaco (86944).jpg for QI. It's a great picture :D Suntooooth (talk) 12:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Suntooooth. I like the Flaco picture, too (reminds me of Totoro), but though it's cute I suspect it will not pass QIC. QIC reviewers don't take kindly to chromatic aberration (the blue fringes along the edges of trees in the background) and noise reduction removed some detail on Flaco himself. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it passes, though. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 15:39, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Deadline Approaching for Most Memorable Shot Submission![edit]
Hello Rhododendrites !,
Just a quick reminder that the deadline for submitting your most memorable shot of 2023 is swiftly approaching! As tradition holds, since 2018, we've been sharing our favorite captures from the past year with each other. This year marks the sixth iteration of our beloved "Most Memorable Shot" tradition, and we're excited to see what everyone has to share.
Whether you're a member of the Commons Photographers User Group or not, you're warmly invited to participate. Your unique perspective adds to the richness of our community, and we'd love to see the world through your lens.
So, if you haven't already, take a moment to pick out your most cherished picture of 2023 and share it with us on the designated page. The deadline is February 29th, so don't let time slip away!
Let's keep this wonderful tradition alive and celebrate the beauty and diversity of our collective experiences through photography.
Looking forward to seeing your memorable shots!
Best regards,

A request[edit]
Hi Rhododendrites, hope you're well! If you have a few minutes at some point - and no rush at all, can totally appreciate if you have much better things to be doing - could you maybe have a look at this picture of yours and see if you can correct the tiny stitching error I have noted on the image page? I would like to nominate it for FP - it's a superb shot, I know the presentation is straightforward but it's a great iconic motif that IMO deserves an FP - but obviously will not do with this obvious flaw. All best, Cmao20 (talk) 01:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Cmao20, and thanks. I haven't had much time for editing recently, but am going through a batch of photos now and should get to this one shortly! BTW don't know how familiar you are with it, but after riding it I found the Wonder Wheel to be surprisingly unnerving for a Ferris wheel. Cars are arranged in a circle, yes, but also on their own short tracks so that at various points in the ride you suddenly slide down the track like a mini-roller coaster. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 21:03, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Cmao20: New version uploaded. Found another stitching error to fix while I was at it. — Rhododendrites talk | 21:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! And absolutely fine, I didn't expect a reply in any particular timescale! Will nominate this for FP when I have a slot next. Just thought it was a really cool pic, I haven't been to Coney Island sadly (have only been to NYC once in my life) but obviously have seen this place in lots of films and find the history of it fascinating. I think I knew that it wasn't a conventional ferris wheel but this is really interesting to hear - looks like there are very few of this 'sliding wheel' construction in the world and the only one of a similar size, at Disneyland California, is basically copied from the design of this one.
