Notes

For users of the photo

This image is not in the public domain. Copyright protection applies.

The rules of the listed free license apply, no more and no less. Please respect the copyright protection.

Especially with social media you have to pay attention to the terms of use. These sometimes do not correspond to the license conditions listed here. (See CC BY-SA licenses and social media.) Please check this before use in the respective medium.

The license conditions must also be respected when using so-called generative artificial intelligence (AI). Images created on the basis of this image are processed images or derivatives within the meaning of the license.

Of course, a free license is no carte blanche for use. In particular, there are restrictions not based on the license, for example to the personality rights of the author (Copyright law of Germany, §§ 12 to 14 UrhG). This is especially true for the required attribution and the use of the image. It is expressly not allowed to give the impression through the use of the image, that the author supports the work, in which the image is used, or whose rights holders in any way.

The last changes were not made by the author himself.

The author of the original image has provided the image here under the license Creative Commons BY-SA. Indeed, the last update of the image or the text was not made by the author. This is common in a wiki and is usually not a problem. Nevertheless please check the last updates to ensure that the image in unchanged form comes from the author and the license corresponds to the license chosen by the author. The last entry at the file history must be XRay or Dietmar Rabich; the license must be Creative Commons BY-SA.

What if the information doesn't match? If another license is listed for use, the use of the image is permitted, provided that this license is at least compatible with the Creative Commons BY-SA license. If it is a derivative of the original image, use is also acceptable if the person who made the change is also named in the attribution. (A derivative can be identified by a link to the original image as the source.) However, if the original image has been overwritten by a third party, use by the author is not permitted. In this case the last version of the file from the author can be used.

Images where I am credited as the copyright holder but which have been uploaded by a third party, and images which have been uploaded by me but where the copyright credit has been changed to a third party, are violations of the terms of the license.

For editors

Please do not change image file, license or file name!

Even though a wiki offers many possibilities, some changes are possible, but not allowed. The author of the image has made it available here precisely with the named license. The three components image file, license and file name (title) belong together indispensably. Always keep in mind that images are also used outside the Wikimedia Commons world. There the attribution refers to exactly this place and exactly this image file here.

If you want to make changes to the image and make this modified image available to others here, upload the result under a new name and with the mention of your name as the editor.
Alternatively to the mentioned license only compatible licenses are allowed. Otherwise, any other form of licensing is reserved exclusively for the author.
When changing the filename, please always consider the world outside of Wikimedia Commons. If you enter a link, you also expect that the matching page with the matching image appears. Everything else leads to insecurities.

It should also be noted that the author expressly distance hisself from images based on his photos that have been changed — even minimally — by third parties and where only his name is noted as author.

Please do not overwrite this image with a modified image.

The author would like to make possible minor modifications only at his own source. (The source is usually a RAW file. Processing of the JPEG file results in a loss of quality.) This ensures that the changes and the quality are preserved. In addition, easy access to the source should also be possible for external use, which would not be possible via the file versions.

If you think that any changes should be required or if you want to express constructive criticism, please contact the author.

Otherwise you can upload a new image with a new name. Please use one of the templates: derivative or extract. Please be sure to include your name, if you upload a derivative or a detail, because you're in charge of the changes. The preparation of derivatives or extracts is not allowed without mentioning your name.

Please do not rename this file. The name is part of the required license informations. In the case of misstatements, the author is pleased to provide information.

Photographs

You like this photograph? That pleases me very much! You would like to see more of my pictures? With pleasure.
Wikimedia Commons has a large number of my photographs available under a free license. This makes it easy for you and me. The license details are for each picture. The use is easier than you think, because in essence, this is just the attribution in the form I want. In addition, usage notes are listed for each picture. And if it does not fit, just ask. My contact information is also available with every photograph.

Maxims

Every photographer has maxims that guide him or her. Sometimes they exist consciously, sometimes unconsciously. So here is an attempt to formulate this maxim for my own photos:

I have to like the photos myself. Even if interests change over the course of time, this means that primarily subjects of personal interest are photographed. Subjects of secondary interest serve to increase knowledge and experiment with other techniques or subjects. Commissioned work with special design requirements is not carried out.
Free knowledge should be supported. The photos should support knowledge and education in every possible way. I see free knowledge as a valuable asset. There is no commercial interest and it would also stand in the way of creativity.
The joy of photography should be visible. Photography should be fun. Beautiful pictures should enable fantasy worlds. My photos should convey all of this.
Photos are only offered to third parties if they have been finally processed. The entire development process is carried out by me, from the choice of motif to post-processing. Changes of any kind by third parties are therefore not acceptable. Use is of course permitted subject to the license conditions.
The technically possible should be utilized. The equipment sets limits, but the photos should be taken within these limits. This also means that photos are usually taken in raw data format.
The photos are part of a creative process. From the idea to the choice of motif to post-processing, the creative process is utilized and the individual view is used to shape it.
The photos should serve as a model for others and arouse interest in photography. Photography has many facets, from documentation to artistic use. The special features of this medium are intended to arouse interest in photography and also photographic art.
The photos should have a positive effect. My hope is that the photos will help make the world a little bit better and have a positive impact on how we interact with each other. That is why I am particularly pleased when the photos are used for educational purposes or volunteer work.
