<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a title="AVO-kurssin kuudes viikko: valokuvat" href="http://fi.wikiversity.org/wiki/Vapaiden_ja_avointen_oppiresurssien_tuottaminen#6._viikko.2C_2._marraskuuta:_Valokuvat_verkossa">AVO-kurssin 6. viikko</a> käsittelee (käsitteli) valokuvaamista. Se onkin minulle entuudestaan tuttua, olen napsinut fotoja älypuhelimellani ja laittanut <a title="Flickr: xmacex" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xmacex">niitä Flickriin</a> jo muutaman vuoden ajan.</p>
<p>Yleensä en kuvia ole juuri muokannut, toisinaan olen käytellyt GIMPiä lähinnä kirkkauden ja kontrastin säätöön mutta melkein useammin käytän nykyään Flickriin upotettua Picnik -kuvankäsittelyohjelmaa joka toimii suoraan selaimessa. Yksinkertaiset toiminnot, kuten rajaus ovat kaikkien käytettävissä. Maksullisena ominaisuutena on lisää jippoja, esim. clipartia ja monimutkaisempia säätötoimintoja. Olen ostanut itselleni Flickrin pro-tunnukset, mutta Picnikin maksullisia ominaisuuksia en ole käyttänyt. Puhelimessani (Nokia N95) on myös kuvankäsittelyominaisuuksia, mutta niiden käyttäminen on niin hidasta että olen lähinnä käyttänyt niitä joskus rajaamiseen ja muutaman kerran lähettäessäni kuvia sähköpostilla tai MMS-viesteinä.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xmacex/4129294728/"><img title="Kirjastopäivät 2009–paneeli" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2726/4129294728_9168368507_m.jpg" alt="Kirjastopäivät 2009–paneeli" width="240" height="91" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kirjastopäivät 2009–paneeli</p></div>
<p>Vastikään käytin GIMPiä koostaakseni yksinkertaisen <a title="Kirjastovirkailijapäivät 2009: paneeli" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xmacex/4129294728/">panoraaman Kirjastovirkailijapäivien paneelista</a>. Päivät olivat itseasiassa aivan juuri, viime viikolla. Panoraaman pohjana on kolme kuvaa. Muita Kirjastovirkailijapäiviin liittyviä kuvia en Flickristä löydä, enkä netistä muutenkaan. Vaikka kirjastoissa onkin kyse ennen kaikkea julkaisuista, eivät kirjastolaiset itse ole kovin hanakoita julkaisemaan netissä. Ei ehkä tule mieleen, niinkään.</p>
<p>Tämän kuvatehtävän yhteydessä voisinkin mainita, että yksi parhaista, koskaan nälemistäni oppiresursseista on <a title="You Suck at Photoshop: Distorn, warp and layer effects" href="http://www.mydamnchannel.com/You_Suck_at_Photoshop/Season_1/YouSuckAtPhotoshop1DistortWarpandLayerEffects_1373.aspx">You suck at Photoshop</a>. Siinä käsitellään erittäin herkullisten ja hienosti kerrottujen tarinoiden kautta Photoshopin kehittyneemmistä ominaisuuksista. Fotari tulee itse käytettyä erittäin harvoin, mutta samat perusperiaatteet ovat johdettavissa kuvankäsittelyyn yleensäkin. Jaksoja näkyy nyt olevan jo parikymmentä. Helmeä xD</p>
<p>Julkaisemissani kuvissa käytän miltei aina Creative Commons Nimi mainittava-Sama lisenssi -lisenssillä. Stressaannun ellen taggaa kuviani. Olenhan kirjastolainen!</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 298px"><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Siuntion_kirkko.jpg"><img class=" " title="Siution Pyhän Pietarin kirkko" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/Siuntion_kirkko.jpg/800px-Siuntion_kirkko.jpg" alt="Siution Pyhän Pietarin kirkko" width="288" height="216" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Siution Pyhän Pietarin kirkko</p></div>
<p>Wikimedia Commonsiin, Wikimedian yhteiseen mediakirjastoon olen kerran laittanut yhden kuvan, testimielessä. Se on kuva <a title="Wikimedia Commons: Siuntion kirkko" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Siuntion_kirkko.jpg">Siuntion kirkosta</a> jonka kohdalla  pysähdyin pyöräilyreissullani Helsingistä Lohjanjärvelle kesällä 2007. Muistan että olin vastikään hankkinut itselleni N95-älypuhelimen, ja olin oikein innoissani siitä että saatoin samaan aikaan lukea karttaa, tallentaa matkanopeuttani ja -reittiäni GPS:n avulla, kuunnella podcasteja ja näpsiä vieläpä valokuvia pienellä, taskuun mahtuvalla laitteella.</p>
<p>Minulla on mielikuva että Wikimedia Commonsiin kuvien laittaminen oli jotenkin vaikeaa. Muistaakseni se liittyi lisensseihin, taisin haluta käyttää <em>ei-kaupallinen</em> -lisenssiä. Tuo rajoitus ei ole yhteensopiva Wikimedian käyttämän lisenssin kanssa, joka ei salli kuvien rajoittamista vain ei-kaupalliseen käyttöön.  Laitoin kuitenkin kuvan tuonne. Nykyään suosin itsekin liberaalimpia lisenssejä, jotka eivät rajoita kuvia vain epäkaupalliseen käyttöön. Näen tuolta Wikimedia Commonsin sivulta, että Siuntio-kuvani on jopa käytössä!! Rumahan tuo kuva n, mutta Bulgarian-, saksan- ja englanninkielisissä Wikipedioissa kuva on koettu hyödylliseksi. Hienoa <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<description><![CDATA[Un rat mort à Francheville - Wikimédia Commons © CC-by-SA Otourly Depuis que je suis administrateur ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">
<div id="attachment_14" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rat_mort_Francheville2.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14  " title="Rat_mort_Francheville2" src="http://otourly.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rat_mort_francheville2.jpg?w=300" alt="Un rat mort à Francheville" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Un rat mort à Francheville - Wikimédia Commons © CC-by-SA Otourly</p></div>
<p>Depuis que je suis administrateur sur <a title="Wikimédia Commons" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/" target="_blank">Commons</a>, j&#8217;ai parfois entendu des personnes s&#8217;interroger sur le fait de laisser leurs photos sur ce site. Maintenant j&#8217;ai envie de leur répondre, je sais que ça ne se fait pas trop de répondre par une question, et pourquoi pas?</p>
<p>Voici mes propres raisons, à vous de vous construire les vôtres.</p>
<ul>
<li>Partager aux autres ce qu&#8217;on a vu.</li>
</ul>
<p>C&#8217;est assez intéressant de partager, c&#8217;est ainsi qu&#8217;on a appris à parler, c&#8217;est ainsi qu&#8217;on a cultivé notre savoir, ainsi partager des prises de vues c&#8217;est offrir des images à quelqu&#8217;un qui n&#8217;a pas eu la chance de voir ce que vous avez vu, au moment où vous l&#8217;avez vu.</p>
<ul>
<li>Donner envie à d&#8217;autres</li>
</ul>
<p>Je n&#8217;ai pas la prétention de faire des photos excellentes, mais j&#8217;espère qu&#8217;avec mes photos d&#8217;autres auront envie de faire mieux. Et franchement pour moi ça vaut mieux que si je les avais réalisées à la perfection du premier coup, avec l&#8217;apprentissage et la capacité technique qui va avec.</p>
<ul>
<li>Laisser libre la retouche de mes images</li>
</ul>
<p>Il est certain que nous ne voyons pas les images de la même façon. Aussi, les goûts et les couleurs&#8230;</p>
<p>Donc, il est pour moi naturel de laisser à d&#8217;autres personnes la possibilité de modifier mes images, de quelconque façon (en dehors de ce qui est contraire à la loi évidement) , afin de partager une autre vision de mon image.</p>
<ul>
<li>Permettre aux autres de réutiliser mon image modifiée ou non</li>
</ul>
<p>Ce point permet de compléter la boucle, ainsi ça donnera peut être l&#8217;idée de la faire partager, la modifier et de la montrer à nouveau..</p>
<h4>Mais pourquoi Commons alors me diriez-vous?</h4>
<p>Commons est une base de donnée multimédia libre [<a title="Commons:Bienvenue" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bienvenue" target="_blank">1</a>]. Ce site partage ma vision de la photo. Mes photos peuvent être réutilisées, notamment sur Wikipédia, mais aussi sur les autres projets de la <a title="Article Wikipédia- Wikimedia_Foundation#Les_projets" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation#Les_projets" target="_blank">Wikimédia Foundation</a>. Elles pourront y être modifiées, classées, décrites dans plusieurs langues.</p>
<p>J&#8217;ai fait le choix de rien gagner de mes photos, car la photo n&#8217;est pour moi qu&#8217;un loisir, et l&#8217;unique récompense que j&#8217;accepte c&#8217;est la mention correcte de la licence.</p>
<p>Non, vraiment, je ne vois pas pourquoi je laisserai mes photos numériques prendre de la poussière dans un coin d&#8217;un disque dur, et pire, que le témoignage qu&#8217;elles pourraient offrir soit perdu, ou détruit.</p>
<address>L&#8217;explication du titre se trouve à cette adresse: <a title="http://peaulithique.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/il-naime-pas-les-rats/" href="http://peaulithique.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/il-naime-pas-les-rats/" target="_blank">http://peaulithique.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/il-naime-pas-les-rats/</a>, je n&#8217;aurais pas cru qu&#8217;un jour une de mes photos soit à ce point lié à l&#8217;actualité.</address>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-501" title="simpsons" src="http://rexsblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/simpsons1.jpg" alt="simpsons" width="360" height="308" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Blonde-haired&#8221; and &#8220;buxom&#8221; are two words that usually define playboy magazines cover models. But in the November issue, the featured lady could be better described as &#8220;blue-haired&#8221; and &#8220;illustrated.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to a story on CNN.com the latest model to grace Playboy&#8217;s cover and pictorial spread will be none other than Marge Simpson. The surprising choice in cover model comes as &#8220;The Simpsons&#8221; celebrates its 20th anniversary. (To check out the magazine cover.</p>
<p>Playboy editors hope the blue-haired beauty will commemorate the popular TV show and also boost the magazine&#8217;s popularity. Like many magazines, the past year brought a 31 percent decrease in the number of Playboy&#8217;s ad pages. With luck, the Marge Simpson issue will bring bigger circulation numbers and reel in younger readers.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, the Playboy issue isn&#8217;t Ms. Simpson&#8217;s magazine cover debut. In 2004,Maxim magazine featured the lovable cartoon character on the front of its issue.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://jakehollomon.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wikimashup_01_fakeblood.jpg" alt="WikiMashup_01_FAKEBLOOD" title="WikiMashup_01_FAKEBLOOD" width="500" height="700" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-448" /></p>
<p>In an effort to get into the spirit of Halloween, I spontaneously decided to do a quick design. Wikimedia Commons is always a great place to start. Type the first word that comes to mind into the search field and go from there. I crafted this monstrosity while listening to Fake Blood&#8217;s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.Which can be found here at <a href="http://www.trashmenagerie.com/blog/2009/03/14/fake-blood-essential-mix-bbc-radio-1/">TRASH MENAGERIE</a>. Fake Blood is a DJ out of the UK. Like Boys Noize, his stuff is pretty hard hitting club techno. I&#8217;ve always loved Techno and Electro, being fascinated by the UK Big Beat acts like Chemical Bros. and the Prodigy as a kid. Maybe it&#8217;s the pace at which I&#8217;ve been working lately, but the tempo seems to fit my working style. Could explain my recurring case of carpal tunnel syndrome. Ah wells, stay busy to keep the mind off things. I sleep in a wrist brace. Pardon the rambling, I&#8217;m juuuust flowing. </p>
<p>Cheers folks, let&#8217;s have some Halloween fun!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_468" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-468" title="600px-Crab_Nebula" src="http://stemology.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/600px-crab_nebula.jpg?w=300" alt="Crab Nebula" width="300" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Crab Nebula</p></div>
<p>Today&#8217;s <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/06/AR2009100600547.html?hpid=topnews">Nobel announcement</a> for physics goes to three scientists who explored the science behind technology we&#8217;re all familiar with &#8211; making possible fiber optics and digital cameras.</p>
<p>Charles Kao has worked in both academia and industry, while Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith  worked for Bell Labs in New Jersey (bringing to an astonishing 8 the <a href="http://www.alcatel-lucent.com/wps/portal/BellLabs/AwardsandRecognition" target="_blank">total of Nobel prizes awarded </a>for work there). The Nobel Academy lauded them as &#8220;masters of light.&#8221;</p>
<p>Boyle and Smith developed the charged-coupled device (CCD), the &#8220;eye&#8221; of every digital camera.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>&#8220;Without the CCD, the development of digital cameras would have taken a slower course. Without CCD we would not have seen the astonishing images of space taken by the Hubble space telescope, or the images of the red desert on our neighboring planet Mars.&#8221;</em> (from the Academy announcement)</p>
<p>So thanks to that work, we have the breath-taking image at the top of this post, courtesy of <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/">Wikimedia Commons</a>. If you haven&#8217;t discovered this amazing collection of images (more than 5 million), make haste. Most are copyright free and the scientific collection is particularly good, since a lot of pictures taken in government-sponsored research end up there.</p>

It was founded in New York City by Henry Jones and 11 others on October 13, 1843.</p>
<p>The organization is engaged in a wide variety of community service and welfare activities, including the promotion of Jewish rights, promoting Zionism, assisting hospitals and victims of natural disasters, awarding scholarships to Jewish college students, and opposing anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. The organization&#8217;s main body is B&#8217;nai B&#8217;rith International, the entity that works with hundreds of countries around the world to increase the welfare of resident Jews.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>De senaste dagarna har <a href="http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/artikel_3322353.svd">Svenska Dagbladet</a> och <a href="http://www.gp.se/gp/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=119&#38;a=510211">Göteborgs-Posten</a> rapporterat om<a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_i_media&#38;oldid=9777632#Kustbevakningens_vapen_i_Moment_22-situation"> en situation</a> som uppstår <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Anm%C3%A4l_ett_fel#Vanligaste_fr.C3.A5gorna">likt fågel Fenix</a> <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Diskussion:Kustbevakningen&#38;oldid=9779494#Kustbevakningens vapen i Moment 22-situation">någon gång om året</a> på svenskspråkiga Wikipedia, nämligen den om <a href="http://www.heraldik.se/heraldica/topic.asp?whichpage=1&#38;TOPIC_ID=1662&#38;#13567">heraldik</a>, upphovsrätt och <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kommunvapen#Detaljutformning_och_tolkning_av_kommunvapen">utformningen av vapen på Wikipedia</a>. <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bybrunnen/Arkiv/2008/Augusti#Ang.C3.A5ende_heraldiska_vapen">Tidigare</a> har <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bybrunnen/Arkiv/2008/Augusti#Heraldiska_vapen.2C_vad_ska_vi_kalla_olika_tolkningar.3F">den här frågan</a> behandlats i diskussioner om svenska kommunvapen, till exempel<a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:Lerums_kommun#Kommunvapnet"> Lerum</a>, samt om <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:F%C3%B6rsvarets_radioanstalt#FRA:s_vapen">FRA</a>. Alltid vakna Calandrella har naturligtvis <a href="http://calandrella.wordpress.com/2009/08/08/kustbevakningens-vapen-inte-feltolkat-pa-wp/">skrivit om det redan</a>, liksom <a href="http://kyrkoordnaren.blogspot.com/2009/08/kustbevkakningen-och-stormar-i.html">Per Westberg</a>. I korthet går det ut på att Kustbevakningen tyckte att Wikipedias version av deras vapen är &#8220;fel&#8221;. Det är den naturligtvis inte: två tolkningar av samma <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasonering">blasonering</a> (vapenbeskrivning) är lika rätt, även om den ena är den som används av en statlig myndighet eller av en kung, medan en annan är ritad av vem som helst. Den statliga versionen kan vara upphovsrättsskyddad, medan andra versioner inte är det. Nu funderar därför Kustbevakningen på om de ska &#8220;tvingas&#8221; släppa &#8220;den riktiga&#8221; versionen under en fri licens så att den ska kunna användas på Wikipedia. Det får de naturligtvis gärna göra.</p>
<p>Men det finns en intressant aspekt på den här frågan som Kustbevakningen verkar ha missförstått. I artikeln i SvD säger Johan Holmgren på Kustbevakningens informationsavdelning:</p>
<blockquote><p>– För oss är det viktigt att vapnet bara används av vår personal, så att folk känner igen det äkta vapnet vid situationer som rensning av olja och sjönöd.</p></blockquote>
<p>När Johan Holmgren menar att detskulle vara upphovsrätten som hindrar folk från att utge sig för att vara från Kustbevakningen visar han prov på en bild av upphovsrätten som många verkar ha men som är rätt märklig. Det är inte upphovsrätten som skyddar Kustbevakningens goda namn. Att hävda att man är från Kustbevakningen är visserligen ett brott, men det är inte främst ett upphovsrättsbrott, utan <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B6regivande_av_allm%C3%A4n_st%C3%A4llning">Föregivande av allmän ställning</a> (dagsböter eller i grova fall upp till två års fängelse). Även om brott mot upphovsrätten <a href="www.sweden.gov.se/content/1/c4/26/85/146cffc2.pdf">ger samma straff</a> torde Föregivande av almän ställning vara ett grövre brott. Eller för att uttrycka det på ett annat sätt: om man har för avsikt att utge sig för att vara från Kustbevakningen är det knappast troligt att upphovsrätten på Kustbevakningens vapen är något som stoppar en.</p>
<p>Skulle det vara så att det nu dyker upp en massa falska kustbevakare vid rensning av olja och sjönöd tror jag knappast att Wikipedia skulle ha med saken att göra. Folk får helt enkelt tag på sådana logotyper på annat håll.</p>
<p>Förresten, under <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kustbevakningen_vapen.svg">bildsidan</a> för Kustbevakningens logotyp på Wikipedias bildbank, Wikimedia Commons, står det så här:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Denna bild visar en registrerad svensk <a title="sv:vapensköld" href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/vapensk%C3%B6ld">vapensköld</a>. Även om denna framställning har en fri licens är det inte tillåtet att använda den på ett sådant sätt att det ger intryck av att respektive kommun, länsstyrelse eller annan myndighet står bakom, till exempel som del i ett varumärke. För detta krävs tillstånd från berörd part. Se <a title="wikisource:sv:Förordning (1976:100) om vissa officiella beteckningar" href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/sv:F%C3%B6rordning_%281976:100%29_om_vissa_officiella_beteckningar">lag SFS 1976:100</a> och <a title="wikisource:sv:Lag (1970:498) om skydd för vapen och vissa andra officiella beteckningar" href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/sv:Lag_%281970:498%29_om_skydd_f%C3%B6r_vapen_och_vissa_andra_officiella_beteckningar">1970:498</a>.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>En annan rolig grej är att artikeln om Kustbevakningen nu når nya höjder i antalet besökare. <a href="http://stats.grok.se/sv/200908/Kustbevakningen">Kolla här bara</a>. Bara en sån sak gör ju hela upprepningen av diskussionen värd alltihop. Eller?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Calma. Este não é mais um texto sobre como a Wikipédia é maravilhosa, isso ou aquilo. É claro que quem não esteve em uma caverna sem computador com internet nos últimos 5 anos já ouviu falar da Wikipédia. Queria saber se já estiveram envolvidos em uma conversa sobre a Wikipédia com amigos ou familiares ou até se já ouviram algum desconhecido citá-la.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Eu já. Nominalmente, ela já foi citada em uma palestra a qual eu fui; ela já foi citada por um professor meu;  colegas já falaram sobre pesquisar na Wikipédia; já a vi citada em uma revista de avião, em uma reportagem sobre saladas; e em uma prova de vestibular (&#8220;texto da Wikipédia adaptado&#8221;) e em vários outros lugares. A Wikipédia é mesmo a enciclopédia <em>pop</em>&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">É sempre muito estranho ouvir falar dela como &#8220;aquele&#8221; <em>site</em> da internet que tem as respostas para tudo; ou sobre as misteriosas ligações secretas entre o Google e a Wikipédia;  ou como o exemplo máximo, quase o exemplo por natureza, e maravilhoso de internet colaborativa. Imagino que seja a mesma sensação que um familiar ou amigo de alguém famoso tenha ao ouvir falarem dele ou dela na televisão ou na rua.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Não, em situações como as de cima, eu não saio fazendo propaganda de outros projetos da Wikimedia ou tentando explicar mais sobre ela, ou mais sobre direitos autorais. Não sei se as pessoas querem saber sobre isso e nem quero parecer um maluco.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Primeiro mau sinal: nunca ouvi ninguém dizer que contribui ou contribuiu para a Wikipédia. Nem com uma vírgula. Será que as pessoas sabem mesmo que a Wikipédia pode ser editada por todos? E se sabem por que não o fazem?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Segundo mau sinal: nunca ouvi falarem dos outros projetos da Wikimedia Foundation (já reconheci uma imagem do Commons por aí, é verdade, mas falar ou citar, nunca) e acho que ninguém conhece a &#8220;parte da Wikipédia que fala de livros&#8221;&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In my previous post I&#8217;ve already mentioned <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deutsche_Fotothek" target="_blank">the image donation</a> from the German photography archives <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Fotothek" target="_blank">Deutsche Fotothek</a> to <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">Wikimedia Commons</a>. The East German photography is less known than western, but the works of real masters are worth to be discovered.</p>
<p>Recently, I&#8217;ve found out for myself the photographic art of <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_R%C3%B6ssing" target="_blank">Roger</a> and <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renate_R%C3%B6ssing" target="_blank">Renate Rössing</a>. According to <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, Roger Rössing (1929-2006) <em>was one of the most famous photographers in eastern Germany</em>. Renate (1929-2005) met Roger Rössing at the photographic classes of <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochschule_f%C3%BCr_Grafik_und_Buchkunst" target="_blank">School of Visual Arts</a> in <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipzig" target="_blank">Leipzig</a> they attended between 1948 and 1951. Together they have published about 90 picture books.</p>

<p>In 1952 they took a series of photographs devoted to <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacktkultur" target="_blank">Nacktkultur</a> which drew my attention by their old fashioned and conservative style. It was the time when naturism began expanding in East Germany. But <span>only since the 1970s </span><span>the nude bathing </span>in lakes and the Baltic Sea<span> became</span><span> widespread.</span></p>

<p>One can discover the photographs taken by Roger and Renate Rössing <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&#38;search=R%C3%B6ssing&#38;go=Go" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
