Background
I am an amateur photographer from Australia, and enjoy taking photos of Australian animals, architecture, landscapes, and my kids. All but my kids are shared with the friendly users of Wikimedia Commons. I hope you enjoy the colours of my sunburnt country as much as I enjoy sharing them with you. I started using a Canon EOS 400D in August 2008, and it's still doing good service. I've finally bitten the bullet and added an expensive lens to my kit, a Canon EF 100mm 2.8L Macro IS USM. So far I like it a lot. See more of my photos in my Gallery |

English: My regular contributions with photos and illustrations to Commons started in 2006. Photography has been a hobby for a long time, though I’m relatively new to digital techniques. I enjoy photographing people as well as nature themes and macro photography. Like in other forms of art, interpretation of reality is an important component of Photography, through which we seek to recognize beauty and show it to others. That is true not only in artsy photos but also in more illustrative works. My first serious camera was a Canon FT, the last, a Nikon D800E.

I'm a 29 years old programmer living in Marne-la-Vallée, in the suburbs of Paris. I started photography with an Olympus D40-Z compact camera and later got into panoramas. I realised how far we can go after I came across a POD showing a panorama of Sydney harbour on english Wikipedia. I decided I could try to do the same and that instead of keeping my pictures for myself, I could give them to Wikipedia which is so useful to me. I shoot mainly landscape panoramas, with a preference for night architecture shots. I use a Canon EOS 400D most of the time with an EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 and a Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 lenses, and am very pleased with the results. I use and try to promote free softwares for post processing. They include Gimp, Hugin, Enblend, Enfuse and ImageMagick. |

Ich wurde 1957 geboren, lebe in Trier und arbeite in der IT-Abteilung eines großen deutschen Unternehmens. Zur Fotografie kam ich 1976, damals mit einer Revueflex 1000s, die mir 20 Jahre gute Dienste geleistet hat. Meine ersten Versuche mit einer Digitalkamera unternahm ich mit einer Kodak DX 6490 die aber auf Dauer meine Qualitätsansprüche nicht befriedigen konnte. Aber dank der Digitaltechnik hatte ich endlich nahezu volle Kontolle über die Bildergebnisse. Richtig aufwärts ging es mit der Anschaffung einer Pentax K10D die leider irgendwann einen Totalschaden hatte. Danach kam meine jetzige Pentax K 3. Ich befasse mich bislang vorwiegend mit Architektur- und Reisefotografie und nebenbei alte Autos, die auf einem lokalen Oldtimertreffen finde. Meine Arbeiten findet man unter:

My name is Thomas and I'm a 22-year-old German grown up near Cologne. Very often, I’m travelling to German cities to upload photos of architecture and cityscape. With the age of 14, I got interested in photography and started with a cheap digital camera. During this episode, my main photo subjects where trains. Two years later, I bought my first DSLR, the Canon EOS 400D. As my requirements were growing fast, I bought the Canon EOS 50D in 2009 and the Canon EOS 5D Mark II in 2010. This is my main camera until today and I am still satisfied with it. Today, I don't shoot train photos anymore. After some city breaks with my family, I discovered my passion for architecture and big cities. Since 2010, I am acting in this scope. Having finished secondary school in spring 2012, I acquired a train ticket, which allows me to take nearly every train in Germany for one year. Since then, I've been traveling throughout the country looking for photo opportunities. Since autumn 2013 I am studying economics at University of Würzburg. Therefore I will upload some images of this region in the near future.

Since then, I've built up over time a decent collection of quality Canon glass to support my I'm amused and honoured to be the apparent inspiration for Benh Lieu Song's photography. ;-) I am active mostly on the English Wikipedia but of course upload all my photographic images to the Commons for use on other Wiki Projects.

I’m a German native living in California, most interested in nature and wildlife photography. Earlier in my life, I shot film with a Nikon FM2 and at some point somehow forgot what photography meant to me. In late 2011, I rediscovered my love for taking pictures and started being a regular contributor to Wikimedia Commons. I love the arts and I believe that photographers can learn a lot from painters. Therefore, my approach to photography is highly driven by the idea of exploring light and composition. By putting a camera in front of our human eye, we learn to see things differently. It’s that joy of exploring the unexpected, of looking at shapes, colors, and textures in a different way, what makes photography so special to me. When not chasing golden hours or traveling, I’m with my wife Payton, in Chico, California. |

I develop my black & white films myself but after 2005 I stopped developing photos in a dark room and I am using a film scanner to scan the negatives. The manual cameras I am using include Nikon FM2 and Leica R4 but most of the images I upload in commons are shot by a relatively recently bought (January 2009) Nikon D700 full-frame SLR camera. In my personal blog you can find mostly my black and white photographs. My Nikon D700 has also a GPS and most of my uploaded photos are geo-located. I love traveling and I like to photograph architecture and monuments. A lot of my images in commons are panoramic images created by stitching software. |

Deutsch Ich bin Fotograf und Anwaltspraktikant und lebe in der Schweiz. Ich wurde 1995 im Kontext der Globalisierung geboren und besitze einen schweizerischen, brasilianischen, ungarischen und amerikanischen Pass. Ich hatte das Glück, viel zu reisen, und das hat mich überhaupt erst zur Fotografie gebracht, denn sie ist eine großartige Möglichkeit, schöne Erinnerungen zu schaffen, die man wieder sehen kann. Im Jahr 2017 kam ich auf den Geschmack des Wanderns und der herrlichen Naturlandschaften, die Mutter Natur zu bieten hat, und das brachte mich bald darauf dazu, mit der Landschaftsfotografie zu beginnen. Nach einer Wanderung, bei der ich mit Steinböcken in Berührung kam, machte es mir Spaß, sie zu fotografieren, und ich entwickelte sehr schnell eine echte Leidenschaft, wenn nicht gar eine Besessenheit, für die Wildtierfotografie. Einigen Wildtieren (vor allem Rothirschen) kann man sich nur sehr schwer nähern, ohne sie zu stören, und ich trage oft einen Schutzanzug, wenn ich auf der Suche nach ihnen bin. Ich hoffe, dass ich durch meine Fotos die Schönheit der Natur und der Tiere mit der Welt teilen kann. English I am a photographer and a trainee lawyer based in Switzerland. Born in 1995 in a context of globalization, I hold Swiss, Brazilian, Hungarian and American passports. I've been lucky enough to travel a lot and that's what got me into photography in the first place, as it is such a great way of creating beautiful memories that can be seen again. In 2017 I got a taste for hiking and the magnificent natural landscapes that Mother Nature has to offer and that soon afterwards led me to take up landscape photography. After a hike during which I came into contact with ibexes, I enjoyed photographing them and very quickly developed a real passion, if not an obsession, for wildlife photography. Some wild animals (especially red deers) are very difficult to approach without disturbing them, and I often wear a ghillie suit when I go looking for them. Through my photographs I hope to share with the world the beauty of nature and animals. Français Je suis un photographe et un avocat stagiaire basé en Suisse. Né en 1995 dans un contexte de mondialisation, je possède les passeports suisse, brésilien, hongrois et américain. J'ai eu la chance de beaucoup voyager et c'est ce qui m'a amené à la photographie en premier lieu, car c'est un superbe moyen de créer de beaux souvenirs que l'on peut revoir. En 2017, j'ai pris goût à la randonnée et aux magnifiques paysages naturels que Dame Nature nous offre, ce qui m'a rapidement amené à me lancer dans la photographie de paysage. Après une randonnée au cours de laquelle je suis entré en contact avec des bouquetins, j'ai pris plaisir à les photographier et j'ai très vite développé une véritable passion, voire une obsession, pour la photographie animalière. Certains animaux sauvages (notamment les cerfs élaphes) sont très difficiles à approcher sans les déranger, ce qui me conduit à souvent porter une ghillie lorsque je pars à leur recherche. À travers mes photographies, j'espère partager avec le monde la beauté de la nature et des animaux. Equipment Camera bodies Lenses

Background
My name is Richard Bartz and was born 1976 in Munich, Germany. I work as an Artist/Musican and have a profound love for mountain climbing.
Keeping the fascination for delving into the microcosms of our imminent surroundings since my childhood, my primary mission is to let other people have a chance to peek into those small worlds through my photographic works, something you usually fail to notice in your day to day life, even if you are having a walk through the woods yourself. My almost fanatical urge to take things 'micro', and convert them to our usual 'macro'-world is the reason why i took the alias of 'Makro Freak' on Wikipedia. In my personal view, if life treats you nice, you should give something of this luck over to other people. Being a professional in Graphics and Visual EFX for over a decade, this as a chance for me to give something small back to the people through contributing some of my photographs to Wikipedia. I started doing contributions on Wikimedia Commons at 22:26, 8 May 2007.

I strongly believe in the notion of open content, especially in the idea of free exchange of cultural works - which I also quickly learned to rely on for professional purposes. Consequently I am gladly willing to share my own pictures with anyone who is interested in using them. Photography is just a hobby of mine and therefore I don't have to specialize in or limit myself to any specific genres. Besides sharing my photos on Commons, I also actively participate in international contests under the patronage of FIAP.

After accumulating a number of images from this fascinating underwater environment, Wikimedia offered an excellent platform to share our marine world with others and promote greater awareness and importance of nature conservation for the benefit of future generations.

I come from the Czech Republic but since 2014 I've been living abroad - mostly New Zealand but also Canada, France, Spain and the UK. I started to take pictures in my youth years, just after I discovered that mountains are actually very nice place to be. When I can't be in the middle of nowhere shooting still peaks, I take pictures of architecture. I've been on Commons since 2008. So far I've contributed with 136 featured pictures and 3,958 quality images. 22,938 images in total. I like keeping my life simple and my equipment reflects that. I use only: |

I am a natural scientist from Germany, amateur photographer and by no means professional. I started using DSLRs in October 2009 and basically I'm learning by doing and by taking advice from fellow wikimedians. I like to take pictures of all things small, typically insects and plants, often in combination. My current equipment is what would probably called medium-class and consists mainly of

Greetings. I have been a sysop on commons: from the 29th of August 2005 [3], and Oversight on Commons since the 5th of January 2009 [4]. There is a small page to explain how to use my images. Nevertheless, do not hesitate to contact me should you have any question.
I am interested in portrait photography, and have thus documented several Nobel laureates and other notable figures (see User:Rama/people). I do a fair amount of technical photography in museums, sometimes with accreditation obtained directly, through Wikimédia France or through Wikimedia CH. I also organise or take part in photography campaigns under their aegis; you can see examples here . |

I am a software engineer and photographer from the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania, USA. I've contributed to the English Wikipedia since June of 2003. I've been taking pictures since I got my first digital camera in 2004. I enjoy all types of photography, including architecture and landscapes, but find nature photography to be the most useful for Wikipedia articles. I'm passionate about photography. I enjoy taking beautiful images and making large prints. My favorite location to photograph is the wilderness of Alaska. My pictures have been published in a number of books, magazines, web sites, and other locations. I believe we should strive for the goals of the four freedoms.

I am a Punjabi based in Patiala, Punjab. I have been a Wikimedian since 2009. I joined Wikimedia Commons in 2012 and one of my first edits was a copyright violation. I started photographing actively for Commons to fill gaps in content around photographs of people and places in Punjab. Punjabi community got a DSLR camera with a grant from the Wikimedia Foundation in 2016 and within a year I was able to add 30+ quality images, 3 valued images, and 1 Featured picture. As of 2022, I have 12 Featured pictures, 250+ quality images, and 7 valued images on Commons. |

Taxiarchos228 (Wladyslaw)

Background
My name is Wladyslaw (born 1975), I am contributing to Wikipedia and related projects since August 2004. I have photographed years ago with an analog single-lens reflex camera (Fujica) and started 2004 with digital photography. As I realized that my compact camera does not fit my rising pretensions any more I have changed 2006 to a digital SLR. Currently I am using Nikon D850/D800. • Here you can find detailed information about my equipment. I like to photograph architecture, city-skylines and landscapes. Many of my buildings I picture are towers in all variations, e.g. bell towers of churches or television towers. But I am interesting in architecture in general starting at historical buildings and going to modern architecture. I am very interested in brutalist architecture and fascinated about the combination of concrete and steel. For me it's charming and a nice challenge to detect interesting view points even of well-known buildings or landscapes and to show a new angle of vision as possible. And although I have contributed far more than 5000 picture to this project my ideas for new pictures and motives does not end. There is a lot of work still waiting to have been done. ;-) |

Background
I'm a physicist by profession and I'm working in the field of information sciences. My main hobby is working on Free Software in the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution where I started the Debian-Med project. My second hobby is taking nature photos. I do this in my holidays exclusively and I'm a conservative photographer that sticks to using slides for his "real photos". As a consequence some of my uploaded images are not as good as the original slide would allow because the process of digitising was done automatically via Kodak Photo CD where not every single image gets the subtlety it would deserve. In case I will find some more time I might redo some scans manually but this is nothing that will happen soon.

Empecé a hacer fotografía desde los 12 años. 40 años después, sigo con la cámara en mi mano, con mucha experiencia y con mucho camino por delante. La emoción de hacer fotografía el día de hoy es tan intensa como la de aquel día que sostuve mi primer cámara. English I started doing photography when I was 12 years old. 40 years later the camera is still in my hands, with a lot of experience behind me and a long road ahead. The excitement of doing photography today is just as intense as the one of that day that I held my first camera.

Background
My name is Krzysztof Golik and I was born in Poland, but I live in France. I'm a cook in Rodez in the Massif Central. I have a passion for travelling, photography, botany and of course for editing Wikipedia. On Wikimedia Commons I mostly add photos of the places where I have been and images of plant species. My first camera (Sony Cyber-shot) I won in a geographic competition during college. Some time later it broke down and I had to buy another camera. The choice fell on digital compact camera of brand Olympus (VR310,D720). In July 2014 I lost it... it mean, I left it on the roof of the car. After driving 100 km I noticed with surprise that he is no longer there. Then I decided it was time for a SLR camera. I choose the Nikon D3300, which I have to this day. Initially, I took photos in automatic mode. Only from spring 2017 I started using manual mode. Since then I have noticed the progress in my photography, although I still have to learn a lot. I enjoy photographing everything that doesn't moves :) My equipment:

I mainly take pictures as bookmarks in life. Chasing prettier pictures goes hand in hand with a prettier life. Through Wikimedia Commons I have greatly improved the quality of my work. I very much enjoy outdoor adventures, studying computer vision, Larry the cat, most things related to open-source and technology, and many things such as life. |

Hello! I am Simo Räsänen, also known as Ximonic here in Commons. I am a professional visual artist from Finland, born in 1990. I graduated in Lapland, Northern Finland, albeit nowadays living in the south. As an artist I am mostly doing digital paintings. As a contributor to Wikimedia projects I am most active in Wikimedia Commons and the Finnish language version of Wikipedia where I joined back in 2008.

Deutsch: Mein Name ist Dietmar Rabich, hier bei Wikimedia Commons auch XRay. Ich lebe im Münsterland, einer Region in Nordrhein-Westfalen in Deutschland. Fotografieren ist mein Hobby, welches bis in die analogen Zeiten der 1970er-Jahre zurückgeht. Am liebsten lichte ich Architektur, Landschaften und technische Dinge ab. Neben diesen Schwerpunkten werden immer wieder andere fotografische Herausforderungen angenommen, auch um von diesen zu lernen.
Die Diapositiv- und die Negativfilme der analogen Zeit erzwangen eine strenge Auswahl, bei der viele schöne Bilder entstanden, andere dafür leider gar nicht erst. Auch wenn die Nachbearbeitung kaum Chancen hatte, gerade aber diese Bilder haben einen historischen Wert und ihren Platz hier bei Wikimedia Commons, um die Zeit auch für andere nutzbar zu dokumentieren. Die Fotografie mit digitalen Mitteln erlaubt die Anfertigung umfassenderen Bildmaterials. Die Nachbearbeitung ermöglicht die Qualitätsverbesserung, die Optimierung. Eine gute Voraussetzung für Bilder, die es lohnt, hier auch anderen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Meine Bilder: Alle • Ausgewählte Bilder • Fotokunst • Schwarzweiß • Nacht • Still life • Architektur • Bäume P. S.: Ach ja, vielfach wird das Fotoequipment erwähnt. Ich verfüge über mehrere Kameras und Objektive. Im Laufe der Zeit hat sich das Equipment in der Zusammenstellung verändert. Es ist immer so gewählt, dass es meinen Interessen und Ansprüchen genügt. Aus meiner Sicht ist das Equipment Mittel zum Zweck, also das Handwerkszeug des Fotografen. English: My name is Dietmar Rabich, also known as XRay in Wikimedia Commons. I'm living in the Münsterland, a region in the state North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. One of my passions is taking photos. My favorite photo scenes are architectures, landscapes and technical objects. In addition to these focal points, other photographic challenges are always taken up, also in order to learn from them.
Slides and negative films in the analog time enforced a strict selection of the pictures. So only some beautiful pictures were taken, others were never made. Even post-processing was nearly impossible, but these pictures only have historical value. Thus, Wikimedia Commons is a good place for them since they document history for everyone. Digital photography allows the creation of comprehensive picture material. The post-processing enables quality improvement and optimization. A good precondition for images that are worthwhile to make them available to others. My photographs: All • Highlighted content • Photo art • Black-and-white • Night • Still life • Architecture • Trees P. S.: Oh yes, the photo equipment is often mentioned. I have multiple cameras and lenses. The composition of the equipment has changed over time. It is always chosen in such a way that it satisfies my interests and requirements. From my point of view, the equipment is a means to an end, i.e. the photographer's tools. |
