Microgrant/Photographing of Vidzeme
Overview
The aim of this proposal is documented the different subjects in Vidzeme
region by high-resolution and quality images available under Creative
Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 license. These images will be released
on Wikimedia Commons for all Wikimedia projects. I’d like to target my
efforts especially about objects from "Valsts aizsargājamo kultūras
pieminekļu saraksts"). But I'd like to shoot the municipalities, nature
monuments and nature objects too.
Budget I
I am planning to make 1 to 2 trips per month using my private car, distance
from 250 km to 500 km therefore I estimate the maximum fuel cost per 1 trip
be around 35 EUR. As a pilot program, I’d like to run this project from
begin of May till end of October. I guess I will be able to do 6-7 trips
till end of this period, let say maximum budget around 250 EUR for this
period. When I will be more active than I now plan and used this amount
earlier, I'd make new proposal for next amount of money (giving you the
chance considering my benefits/quality of images/amount of images). Not
expecting any additional costs.
Budget II
I am planning to make 1 to 2 two-day trips per month using my private car,
distance from 250 km to 500 km therefore I estimate the maximum fuel cost
per 1 trip be around 35 EUR. Hotel cost per night be around 45 EUR. As a
pilot program, I’d like to run this project from begin of May till end of
October. I guess I will be able to do 5-7 trips till end of this period,
let say maximum budget around 480 EUR for this period. When I will be more
active than I now plan and used this amount earlier, I'd make new proposal
for next amount of money (giving you the chance considering my
benefits/quality of images/amount of images). Not expecting any additional
costs.
Timeline
I’d like to run this project as pilot till end of December. I am planning
upload images during whole this period when I will make the trip and
postprocessing in computer. After the end of December, I will make short
report and evaluate how much images were generated and most probable write
next proposal for extension of this project from begin of May till end of
October.
Expected outcomes
Based on my previous experiences, I expect minimum around 100-200 high
quality images per trip which might correspond to 15-30 subjects. Mostly I
will try target about subjects which included in "Valsts aizsargājamo
kultūras pieminekļu saraksts". This amount of images per trip I would
consider it a success.
Who I am
My name is X Y (Voll) and I am active member of Wikimedia projects mostly
based on Wikimedia Commons and Wikivoyage. I have more than Nk+ edits
globally and I uploaded more than N own images from around the world,
please see my category on Commons. I selfishly will guess that I have some
basics about photographing.
I am equipped with CAMERA (10x for details on buildings). Therefore all
necessary is available.
Thank you in advance for considering of this proposal and best regards
