what PC stands for?

(Sorry, poor English, Translation with DeepL)

Hi Julian. Thank you for sharing your pictures. Don't be discouraged. Although QIC may sometimes seem like an unwelcoming place, many users try to make it welcoming.

‘PC is needed’ is an expression used especially by one user. It usually indicates that there is perspective distortion, i.e. that the vertical lines on the right and left are not straight.

Have a nice day, and count on me. Lmbuga (talk) 12:02, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I use Lightroom to correct perspective, rarely GIMP, because it is much more laborious, but it can be, if you waste time, very accurate. Lmbuga (talk) 12:04, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, thank you so much for the response!

I pinged you on accident instead of the user I was replying to, sorry for the bother but thank you for being so kind!

I think I will definitely have more questions, and also would like to say that a lot of my images are slightly noisy or lack a bit of detail because I've been using a Nikon D3500 with a kit lens. I've still been trying my best to minimize these issues and have good composition and utility for Wikimedia. Soon I will be upgrading to a Nikon D810, so the quality of the images will be much better. Julian Lupyan (talk) 18:18, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, things are expensive. My previous camera (14 years ago) was a Canon EOS V Mark II. I needed a car for work, so I decided to buy a small car and a large camera.

I don't know Nikon, but I hope you have luck and are happy with your purchase. Lmbuga (talk) 01:41, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Ask me anything you want (preferably on my talk page). What I cannot guarantee is that I will be able to help you. Tell me whatever you want!--Lmbuga (talk) 01:48, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Comments I really like the picture, but I don't understand why there is so much noise at ISO 100. There is also noise at the bottom, where there is no glass. I see CAs. --Lmbuga 23:55, 5 October 2025 (UTC) @Lmbuga I've removed the CA (I suspect some of the CA may have actually been due to glass refraction), and I denoised the darker portions. The photo was taken from a dark room looking out, which could explain some of the noise. --Julian Lupyan 01:33, 6 October 2025 (UTC)  Support New review, Good quality.

Announcing the Winners of Picture of the Year 2025!

Hi everyone,

Wikimedia Commons is pleased to finally announce the winners of this year's Picture of the Year 2025 contest! We had some truly incredible finalists to choose from, but the community has spoken.

Here are your top three winning images:

• 

  

  First place: The aftermath of an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on October 9, 2023, leaving widespread destruction in the Rimal area.
  Attribution: WAFA (Q2915969) / CC-BY-SA 3.0
• 

  

  Second place: Baby cape fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus) sleeping at Cape cross, Namibia.

• 

  

  Third place: A gigantic jet photographed from the International Space Station by astronaut Nichole Ayers.
  Attribution: public domain

You can view the full results and see where all your favorite images placed here: Full 2025 Results

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.

Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!

Regards,
ZI Jony
