User:Syntaxys

I have been registered with Commons since 2007 and take photographs for Wiki projects. My native language is German, but I also speak English well.

You can find my primary profile for Wiki* here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Syntaxys

I have now made more than 550 of my own images available under CC licences, mainly from Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Rhineland-Palatinate, and I strive to provide this material in the best possible quality. Currently, over 300 images have been designated as high-quality images and approximately 190 images have been used in Wikipedia articles or other projects.

In general, images are saved in the native resolution of the camera sensor and with a JPEG quality of 100% in the sRGB colour space. Internally, I work with raw data in a 16-bit colour space, which allows me to deliver a CMYK image optimised for printing if required.

Further information about my photographic activities can be found on my personal website (de).
