“All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.” (Richard Avedon)
Hello!
May I introduce myself briefly? My name is Dietmar Rabich and it is my passion to take photos. Here at Wikimedia Commons you can primarily see my photos, which are more suitable for documentation or educational purposes, but are also suitable for illustrations or other uses. In addition, photographic art – in terms of the application of creative techniques and stylistic devices – is intended to demonstrate the possibilities of photography and promote the joy of photography. My photos can now be seen in many places, in smaller exhibitions as well as in many publications.
My way of photographing has changed over the years. Both routine and creativity have changed for the better. The photographers at Wikimedia Commons have directly or indirectly helped to improve the routine, creativity is unfortunately not a focus here. However, there are many other ways to develop.
All of my pictures are licensed by a Creative Commons license so everybody can use it. I think this is a good way to give a picture of the world. But honestly I really don't like just copy images without respect to this kind of royalty.
I'm always looking for interesting places to take photographs, especially architecture, buildings or objects in a technical environment or landscapes. If you know such a place, I'm thankful for every hint. Optimal is a place in the Münsterland or the northern Ruhr area. A permission to make shots there and publish them with a free license must be feasible.
Donations? Thanks to the Creative Commons license under which my images are available here, there are no licensing costs. This allows uncomplicated use. Nevertheless, the question always arises as to whether something can be done in return. I very much welcome this hand-in-hand offer. For those who absolutely want to do something in return as recognition, I have a suggestion: why not donate something to charitable causes, for education, to support social work or socially disadvantaged people, for environmental, nature and climate protection, for commitment to peace, freedom and democracy, for commitment against discrimination, racism, misogyny, homophobia or xenophobia or similar things. The possibilities are many and varied. And it doesn't necessarily have to be money, just get involved.
Sehr schöne Fotos. Eine Bereicherung für Wikimedia insgesamt!
Vielen Dank von meiner Seite :) Andreas Vogel (talk) 18:37, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Dietmar, jetzt auch noch mal von mir eine Anerkennung Deiner brillanten Bilder! Erst gestern habe ich die vielen tollen Aufnahmen vom Juni-Fotoflug nicht zuletzt über das Tecklenburger Land entdeckt. Und bin seither einmal mehr total begeistert. Übrigens nicht nur über die technische Qualität der Aufnahmen (war da eigentlich eine Scheibe zwischen Dir als Fotograf und dem Himmel...?), sondern auch über Deine vorzüglichen Ortskenntnisse. War da viel Recherche vonnöten? Hier und da nehme ich nun noch einige Feinjustierungen vor, aber das sind vergleichsweise Lappalien. Ganz herzlichen Dank für den Einsatz (schade nur, dass ich von diesem Fotoflug bislang gar nichts erfahren hatte...)! Weiter so und viel Erfolg auch in diesem Jahr, wünscht Dir J.-H.

Thank You for being kind enough to let me use your day at Potd for the World Environment Day. Your picture is now on 7 July 2017, about a month later. Hopefully I managed to remember to move and fix everything but could you check it anyway. Again, thanks! cart-Talk 22:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

I've been a long time fan of your work and I thought I'd let you know about it :) I especially admire your precise photo descriptions, categorization, light and composition skills. I think most of local users can learn a lot from you. It's also good to see your pictures from Australia, they're great and inspiring as usual. All the best, Podzemnik (talk) 07:32, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for the help in creating the category page for Liminal spaces—I really appreciate it! I also took a brief look through your user page, and your photography is really amazing! Keep on being awesome :) Yitzilitt (talk) 06:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
Ich möchte Ihnen diese bescheidene Anerkennung geben, insbesondere für Ihre großartige Arbeit in immer sauberen Landschaften und guten Kompositionen. Wilfredor (talk) 19:56, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Can you make a non-featured/non-quality/bad photo for once? You are too good. Earth605 (talk) 18:50, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your time and dedication in making the presentation about Lightroom, I learned how to upload photos from Lightroom to Commons and it will save me a lot of time. Thank you and I hope you accept this humble gift Wilfredor (talk) 16:30, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Begründung: Das Bild zeigt ein beliebtes Motiv in Hamburg, das Weltkulturerbe Speicherstadt. Durch die Brücke im Vordergrund ergibt sich ein neuer und besonderer Blickwinkel. Die gelungene Lichtführung arbeitet die Strukturen des Brückenstahls sowie der typischen Klinkerbauweise besonders gut heraus.
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. Dazu gehört insbesondere die Fotokunst, die einen besonderen Reiz ausübt.
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, haben aber gerade diese Bilder 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.
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. This includes photographic art in particular, which has a special appeal.
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.
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.
