Wikimedia blog interview

Hi Richard,

My name is Donna Peterson, and I'm a communications volunteer with the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco. We have a feature on the Wikimedia blog [1] to profile the photographers behind the beautiful photos that become Picture of the Day (POTD) on Wikimedia Commons. You can see some of our past POTD posts here: https://blog.wikimedia.org/c/communications/picture-of-the-day/

Given that two of your photos, Lighthouse Malarrif at Snæfellsnes peninsula and Austernfischer Haematopus ostralegus Iceland RB, were selected as POTD's this month, we'd love to do a short interview with you by email to discuss your photography and your POTD. Please let me know if you would be interested! You can email me at dpetersonwikimedia.org or respond on my talk page.

Thanks, DPeterson (WMF) (talk) 15:47, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Grand Canyon - Nachfrage

Hallo Richard! Vielen Dank für deine positive Bewertung auf Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/File:Sun_rays_at_Hopi_Point_Grand_Canyon_2013.jpg. Zunächst eine Übersetzungfrage: Was meinst du mit "battered Sky"? Nach Konsultation von Leo habe ich mir das mit "zugerichteter Himmel" übersetzt. Meintest du das?
Zweite Frage: Wie hättest du die Aufnahme vor Ort technisch besser umgesetzt? Ich hatte schon recht tief in die Trickkiste gegriffen, d.h. Grauverlaufsfilter und 3er Belichtungsreihe, die ich dann bei HDR-Fusion zusammengefügt habe. Ich wollte unbedingt den Himmel draufbekommen und eben die tollen Sonnenstrahlen, die durch den Nebel im Canyon sichtbar wurden. Ich freue mich über Tipps. Dir noch einen schönen Abend, --Tuxyso (talk) 20:37, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Ahoi mein Lieber. My bad: Ich meinte damit nur den ramponierten oberen linken Teil des Himmels, der kaum mehr Durchzeichnung hat. Wenn Du vor Ort eine sehr starke Dynamik vorfindest lohnt es sich unbedingt auch größere Belichtungsreihen (z.B. 7 Aufnahmen) anzufertigen. Am besten ist es dabei den Belichtungsmesser der Kamera auf Integralmessung umzustellen und deine Szene anzumessen. Dann komplett 6 Blendenstufen runter, Aufnahme und von dort wieder im Abstand von 2 Blendenstufen bis +6 hoch. Du kannst das gerne mal ausprobieren und direkt in die Sonne fotografieren. Im Resultat kannst Du dann, nachdem das in Photomatix etc. als 32 BIT Bild zusammengefügt ist im Photoshop den Belichtungsregler (den Du unten einblenden kannst) hin und herschieben und die Sonne sollte dann nur noch ein stecknadelgroßer Punkt sein. Dann hast Du eine "echte" HDRI erstellt mit der Du dann alles anstellen (also Tonemappen) kannst was das Herz begehrt. Ich war gerade ebenfalls zwei Wochen in Kalifornien unterwegs (mit Location Scout) und habe sogar auch einige deiner Motive fotografiert. Leider war es ein bezahlter Job, deshalb kann ich nichts davon spenden. Cheers   • Richard • [®] • 21:39, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Hallo Richard! Vielen Dank für deine ausführliche und überaus informative Antwort. Bei diesem Bild habe ich tasächlich mit sieben Einzelbildern gearbeitet. Die Schwierigkeit, die sich bei der D7000 ergibt ist, dass sie nur 3 Bilder im BKT-Mode unterstützt. Bei sieben Bildern muss ich dann jeweils manuell eingreifen, was sich bzgl. Verwacklung etc. nicht unbedingt positiv auf die BQ auswirkt. Für größere Belichtungsreihen verwendet ich auch ganz gerne DSLRDashboard allerdings kann ich dort im Kombination mit der D7000 maximal 30 Sekunden belichten (was beim Grand Canyon vermutlich gereicht hätte). Das händische ausmessen fällt mir nicht immer ganz leicht, weil man einen guten Blick für die hellste und dunkelste Stelle haben muss. Bei der ganzen Ausmesserei könnte es dann z.B. passieren, dass die schöne Lichtstimmung dahin ist. Ich verwende meistens "echte" HDRIs (also 32 Bit TIFFs) in Lightroom. Die bekommst man von Photomatix zurückgeliefert, wenn man explizit "Merge to 32 Bit Tiff" anfordert und kann dann mit Lightroom beliebig tonemappen und an der Belichtung drehen - vermutlich ähnlich wie die PS-Funktion, die du nennst.
Einen Location Scout hatte ich in den USA nicht, nur diesen hier und eine weitere zauberhafte Begleitung :) Bei der nächsten Gegenlichtaufnahme werde ich mal wieder mit sieben Einzelbildern probieren. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:35, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Review of Capture One

Hello Richard.
Very great pictures and thanks for sharing them here!
I see you're using Capture One. On my side I'm using DxO Optics Pro and I'm pleased with its job but I'm missing the ability to use masks like in C1 to control sometimes specific areas. Are you satisfied with this software? Is it able to correct 35 mm captors problems like (or at least: almost as good as) DxO (sharpness, geometry, noise, each specific to lens/camera couple)? Did you try that one? I'm asking you that because I'm looking for a more powerful alternative to DxO, but at least as good for lens corrections before transforming the photos in tiff.
Greetings. Sting (talk) 23:08, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I'am doing only little editings, so C1 works very well for me. The Schneider Kreuznach Lenses have nearly no distortion, so I have a preset for converting all my pictures automatically to TIFF. For lens correction, do you ever tried PTLens? Regards   • Richard • [®] • 23:22, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

No, I didn't try PTLens and I don't think I need it: DxO makes a very good work on lens problems corrections. DxO is great for this but I'm missing the ability to make sometimes harsher edits on raw files on specific areas like C1 can do with masks.

I'm trying to “straighten” my workflow: Media Pro + Raw converter (as complete as possible) + Photoshop for the last tweaks.

That's why I'm asking you if C1 is able to handle the complete middle part: correcting at least “almost as good as DxO” the lens problems and (the following part I know it can) improve the raw file by area (contrast, color, etc.).

I recently “discovered” that Photoshop's integrated Camera Raw, used on treated DxO dng's allowed more flexibility but still not on specific areas, but that's better. Still looking for the best (quality) and most integrated solution for Raw conversion. Lightroom (don't know much about) doesn't seem to fit my needs.

Btw, other question: I saw you were now using CC. Is there a great difference between Photoshop CS6 and CC? Because I didn't find a clear answer on Adobe's site on that point. Sting (talk) 00:54, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I found a review for ps 6 vs ps cc [2]   • Richard • [®] • 01:09, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. Click here to learn more and vote »

the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

File:Ixodus ricinus 5x.jpg

Hallo Richard Bartz!
Ich habe gerade dein tolles Bild (File:Ixodus ricinus 5x.jpg) gesehen. Ich wollte mal nachfragen, ob du noch weißt mit welchem Objektiv du das Bild gemacht hast? mfg D-Kuru (talk) (18:22, 4 May 2014 (UTC))

Ich antworte mal stellvertretend für Richard, damit: Grüße, --Alchemist-hp (talk) 06:24, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Und wie hat er das mit der Tiefenschärfe gemacht? Das MP-E 65mm hat ja so einen kleinen Fous, dass das Tier niemals zur Gänze so fotografiert werden könnte. --D-Kuru (talk) 20:05, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Schau doch bitte einfach hier mal vorbei: Focus Stacking. So entstanden auch die meisten meiner Bilder und Richard war mein "Anfangs-Lehrer" bei diesem Bild  :-) Grüße, --Alchemist-hp (talk) 23:14, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Das es sicht dabei um Fokusstacking handelt habe ich mir auch schon gedacht (habe damit selbst schon einige bilder erstellt). Um etwas detaillierter zu werden: Ich auch habe ein MP-E 65mm und habe damit ein paar Bilder versucht. Ich hatte dabei immer ein paar Probleme: 1)Das Bild war unscharf weil ich es (selbst mit einem Millimeterschlitten) nicht so genau einstellen konnte; 2)Es verwackelt bei 'längeren' Belichtungszeiten, weil irgendetwas an meinem Aufbau anscheinend noch immer nicht fest genug geschraubt ist. 3)Wenn ich es geschafft habe 1 & 2 soweit zu minimieren, dass die Bilder so halbwegs gehen, verutscht die Kamera beim neu Fokusieren so sehr, dass es unmöglich ist die Bilder so einzurichten, dass sie halbwegs übereinander liegen. Die Frage ist also wie es Richard geschafft hat, all diese Probleme zu lösen und noch dazu den Zeck soweit ruhig bekommen hat, dass er seine Füße während der Aufnahme nicht bewegt hat. --D-Kuru (talk) 12:46, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

A blessing

Sadhu begs Richard to come back real sooon.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 startet in Kürze

Hallo Richard Bartz,

in Kürze ist es wieder soweit. Der nun schon traditionelle Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments wird im September zum vierten Mal stattfinden. In ähnlicher Form hatte unlängst der Wettbewerb "Wiki Loves Earth" eine erfolgreiche Premiere. Zu allen bisherigen vier Wettbewerben haben seit 2011 gut 3000 unterschiedliche Teilnehmer (User) ihren Beitrag geleistet. Du warst dabei, und bist auch herzlich eingeladen, am bevorstehenden WLM-Wettbewerb wieder dabei zu sein.

Allein in Deutschland wurden in den letzten drei Jahren im Rahmen von WLM rund 100.000 Fotos zu den insgesamt ca. 850.000 Kulturdenkmalen bundesweit hochgeladen. Jährlich haben sich mehrere Hundert Wiki-Fotographen daran beteiligt. Auch im kommenden Denkmalmonat wird dies gewiss wieder der Fall sein. Der Tag des offenen Denkmals am 14. September bietet bundesweit vielfältige Möglichkeiten, Denkmale nicht nur von außen, sondern auch von innen zu fotografieren. Denkmallisten sind dabei ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt und zugleich auch Ziel der Einbindung der Fotos. Auch in diesem Jahr sind wieder neue Denkmallisten hinzugekommen, die hilfreich bei der Planung von individuellen oder Gruppen-Fototouren sind und auf eine Bebilderung warten, wie z.B. zu Görlitz oder Zittau. Unter den Landeshauptstädten fehlt nur noch Stuttgart. Aber auch hier ist Licht in Sicht.

In der Mitte Deutschlands hat die Denkmallandschaft der thüringischen Landeshauptstadt Erfurt nun das Licht der Wikipedia-Welt entdeckt. Mehr als 50 Tabellen enthalten 3.700 Denkmale. Allein die wunderschön restaurierte Altstadt umfasst 1.800 Denkmale. Eine von WMDE geförderte WLM-Fototour nach Erfurt am Wochenende vom 29. – 31. August lädt herzlich ein, diese einzigartige Kulturlandschaft zu dokumentieren. Mehr Informationen findest Du auf der Projektseite.

Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beiträge für Wikimedia-Projekte.

Viel Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia wünscht Dir das Orga-Team.

( Bernd Gross, 16. August 2014)

Dotterweber Vitelline Masked Weaver

Dear Richard,

Recently back from a birding trip through The Gambia, I wanted to complete the article about the Vitelline Masked Weaver. The picture you uploaded is from a weaver species with complete dark head and dark eyes, while the viteline masked weaver has a yellow eye and yellow to orange crown. So I suppose you mixed up the with the black-headed weaver (ploceus melanocephalus) website HBW I hope you agree with me this is correct. Friendly greeting, Henrik de Nie. --HWN 08:42, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Richard, I saw your male and female images of the same species, are you able to say the sex of the specimen on my images? if so what are the criteria please? -- Christian Ferrer 18:47, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

You have to look on the eyes. If they're close together ist a male. Regards   • Richard • [®] • 06:40, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen

Hallo Richard Bartz,

nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum fünften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeiträge von Dir.

Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlösser, sondern auch Fachwerkhäuser, Brücken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden können. Nützliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchführen oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschließen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lücken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfüllen.

Darüber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.

Viel Erfolg und Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wünscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.

( Bernd Gross, 6. August 2015)

Nutzungserlaubnis Foto

Lieber Herr Bartz,

ich arbeite für das "Museum Mensch und Natur" in München und habe eine kurze Frage bezüglich eines Ihrer Wikipedia-Fotos: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Schloss_Nymphenburg_Munich_CC2.jpg

Das "Museum Mensch und Natur" ist Teil der Staatlichen Naturwissenschaftlichen Sammlungen Bayerns. Auf 2500 m² werden die Entstehung des Sonnensystems, die Geschichte der Erde und die Entwicklung des Lebens, aber auch die Anatomie und Biologie des Menschen, Ernährung und Umweltprobleme sowie das Verhältnis des Menschen zur Natur dargestellt.

Das Museum wird in den kommenden Jahren erweitert und wir arbeiten derzeit an einer Broschüre, die über den Umbau und das neue Konzept des Museums informieren soll. Die Broschüre wird nicht verkauft, sondern nur an mögliche Projektpartner und -unterstützer weitergegeben, sowie in PDF-Format auf der Website des Museums verfügbar sein.

Oben erwähntes Bild wäre zur inhaltlichen Illustration des Projektes sehr gut geeignet und wir möchten hiermit gerne anfragen, ob wir das Bild in der Broschüre verwenden könnten? Natürlich würden wir die Quelle des Bildes mit dem von Ihnen gewünschten Bildnachweis versehen.

Weitere Informationen zum Projekt finden Sie auf der Website www.namu-bayern.de. Es würde uns sehr freuen, wenn sie unser Projekt auf diese Weise unterstützen würden. Bitte kontaktieren Sie mich doch via braun@namu-bayern.de

Ich freue mich sehr, von Ihnen zu hören!

Beste Grüße,
