Do you remember your first steps in professional photography and what inspired you to get started?</strong><strong><br></strong><strong><br></strong><em>“I started photographing in 2006; at the beginning, I wanted to photograph landscapes because I had seen so many beautiful landscape photos on the internet, then I went to fields and meadows, and there I noticed the endless variety of insects, and I tried to photograph them. I quickly put the landscapes to one side and concentrated on the insects, which I still do today</em><em>.</em><em>”</em></p> <p><strong>What type of photography do you specialize in? What is your photographic style?</strong></p> <p><em>“</em><em>Macro photography, for a long time, up to a scale of 1:1, for a few years now also a little closer with a scale of up to 5:1. For several years, I have been working with the focus stacking functions of my camera, which means taking several pictures of a subject where the focus always shifts slightly and in the end everything is sharp from front to back.</em><em><br></em><em>In my pictures, I try to keep everything as natural as possible, i.e., I don’t do any major editing, I only use natural light and no external light sources</em><em>.”</em></p> <p><strong>What kind of equipment do you use? Can you explain your choice of camera, lenses, and other gear?</strong></p> <p><em>“I’ve been using Nikon cameras since the beginning, and over the years, I’ve used a total of 4 different cameras, which have allowed me to take better and better photos over time. I currently have the Nikon Z8 with a Sigma 150mm Macro lens for all pictures up to a scale of 1:1 and also a Laowa 25mm with a scale of 2:1 to 5:1.</em></p> <p><em>I also always use a tripod with a macro sled and plant clamps to keep my subjects steady in windy conditions.”.</em></p> <p><strong>What software do you use for post-processing and editing? Can you describe your editing workflow?</strong></p> <p><em>“</em><em>To edit the photos I use Photoshop and to add the stacks together ZereneStacker. In the beginning, I move the images from the camera to my computer and then I look through all the images individually to determine from to which images to go each individual stack. Then the images are automatically counted together and the finished image is created in its full sharpness. After that, I’ll just move the regulators for colors and so on a little bit. At the end, the picture will be exchanged and finished.</em><em>”</em></p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="400" height="266" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcjATVPOxkt3lwV8GQAcEpoKsF7TT_WK69utPaWHJVoV6H8jZWT6XBjsCHLZn7UqtKDQy1sxmSuamN7RNuszk0o1eDcBlWaVZi8O3yl_ngv_tWmEovxhWj5BWT_8Wwe-gJT547Qy2vaKrzeLwkJP1ErUA1k?key=ngDvJyetaGpLexrVXIAdiA"><br></em><strong>Author of the photo: </strong>Sven Damerow</p> <p><strong>How do you usually choose the locations?

My two favorite places are the meadows on the Elbe dike near Rühstädt, especially for photographing butterflies, and Gülpe for dragonflies.”</em></p> <p><strong>What was your experience in picturing the protected areas? Is this term somehow changing the photography conditions? What do you advise starting from when picturing the protected areas?</strong></p> <p><em>“Of course, you should always move as carefully as possible in nature in order to cause as little damage as possible and this is of course especially true in nature reserves.”</em></p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="411" height="273" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc52cByJz1eyrWrSDoMtfpQ8e76aVuq7eQ-JClehJBnIb8RbPFTFSwChu7Ca9KZXmYBxGfUD6bTsk7GuitWzKfyVa6CtoIoMlb01Fj3AeB2myNZniXYHfX2v-NMYV0pF8gPqzne_3lPQluvjzA9U5yLcLM?key=ngDvJyetaGpLexrVXIAdiA"><br></em><strong>Author of the photo: </strong>Sven Damerow</p> <p><strong>How did you first get involved in the Wiki Loves Earth International photo contest devoted to picturing natural heritage?</strong></p> <p><em>“In order to identify insects and find out something about them, I often go to Wikipedia and then one day I saw the WLE competition in Germany above an article and I thought it perfect because I already take photos in nature reserves and took part.
