Office buildings 3 and 2 of the Westdeutschen Lotterie (view from Weseler Strasse) in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (2013)

Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Bürogebäude 3 und 2 der Westdeutschen Lotterie (Ansicht von der Weseler Straße) in Münster, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland
Die WestLotto‑Zentrale Münster ist der Hauptsitz der Westdeutschen Lotterie (WestLotto). Für den Zentralsitz wurde 1958 ein Architektenwettbewerb ausgelobt, den der renommierte Münsteraner Architekt Harald Deilmann gewann. Der moderne Firmenbau wurde auf einer damals noch unbebauten Fläche an der Weseler Straße realisiert und setzte ein deutliches architektonisches Zeichen für die Entwicklung einer neuen Dienstleistungsmeile in der Stadt. Seit seiner ursprünglichen Errichtung wurde das Gebäude mehrfach erweitert und umgebaut.
Für das zentrale Gebäude nutzte Harald Deilmann ein klar strukturiertes Grundraster, das städtebaulich und funktional wirkt und sich sowohl in Fassade als auch Innenraumgestaltung widerspiegelt. Die Fassade kombiniert schwarz glasierte Klinker mit Aluminiumfenstern, was den Bau trotz seiner Funktionalität eine unverwechselbare Erscheinung im städtischen Kontext verleiht.
1978 erhielt das Gebäude einen markanten schwarzen Turm, der die architektonische Formensprache weiterentwickelte. 1994 wurde der Verwaltungsbau aufgestockt, was zur veränderten Silhouette beitrug.
English: Office buildings 3 and 2 of the Westdeutschen Lotterie (view from Weseler Strasse) in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The WestLotto headquarters in Münster is the main office of Westdeutsche Lotterie (WestLotto). An architectural competition was held in 1958 to design the headquarters, which was won by renowned Münster architect Harald Deilmann. The modern company building was constructed on a plot of land on Weseler Straße that was still undeveloped at the time and made a clear architectural statement for the development of a new service district in the city. Since its original construction, the building has been expanded and renovated several times.
For the central building, Harald Deilmann used a clearly structured grid that is both urban and functional and is reflected in both the façade and the interior design. The façade combines black glazed clinker bricks with aluminum windows, giving the building a distinctive appearance in the urban context despite its functionality.
In 1978, the building was given a striking black tower, which further developed the architectural design language. In 1994, the administration building was raised, contributing to a change in its silhouette.

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 of the German Copyright Act). 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.

For editors

Please do not change the image file, the license, or the filename!

Even though a wiki offers a wide range of possibilities, some changes are possible but not permitted. The creator of the image has made it available here under the specific license mentioned. The three components — image file, license, and filename (title) — are inextricably linked. Always keep in mind that images are also used outside the Wikimedia Commons ecosystem. In those contexts, attribution specifically refers to this exact location and this exact image file here.

  • If you make changes to the image and want to make the modified image available to others here, upload the result under a new name and credit yourself as the editor — even for very minor changes. The templates Derivative and Extract are also available for this purpose. In addition, the user should make minor corrections only to the source file they have on hand. The source is — as a rule — a RAW file. Editing a JPEG file always results in an undesirable loss of quality.
  • As an alternative to the specified license, only compatible licenses are permitted. Otherwise, any other form of licensing is reserved exclusively for the copyright holder.
  • When making changes to the filename, please always keep in mind the world outside of Wikimedia Commons. Anyone who enters a link expects the correct page with the correct image to appear. Anything else leads to confusion. A reference to the file versions is considered insufficient and impractical.

If you believe changes are necessary, or if you would like to offer constructive criticism, please contact the author.

It goes without saying that using the Crop Tool will not overwrite this original file. In accordance with the license, the resulting cropped image will have its user categories removed, any labels like “Quality Image” removed, the name of the person who created the cropped image added, and this original file cited as the source.

Two additional notes:

  • File metadata (EXIF/IPTC/XMP) must not be removed or altered (protection of information necessary for the enforcement of rights, §95c UrhG).
  • The author expressly disavows any images based on his photos (derivative works) that have been altered — even minimally — by third parties and on which only his name is listed as the author.

The title (or, alternatively, the filename) is part of the license’s required information and should therefore not be changed. If any of the information is incorrect, the author would appreciate being notified.

For photographers

How do you take a photo like this?
To give you a little insight into how a photo like this was created, here are a few basic tips and tricks specifically related to this photo.
Basics

First, you should be aware that a good photo is taken by the photographer themselves. The focus is therefore on composition and creativity. At least when you are starting out, it is advisable to follow the rules of composition. The camera and lens are tools for creating the photo. Technically speaking, a photo is only as good as the tools allow it to be.

If creativity and high quality are important to you, you should say goodbye to fully automatic mode. However, individual automatic functions can be useful. It is better to make some camera settings consciously, so it is also important to use them selectively.

There are only a few basic parameters that affect a photo. These are aperture, exposure time and ISO value. The aperture determines the depth of field in the image. The wider the aperture is open, the less sharp the image will be, and vice versa. However, the aperture should only be closed as far as is absolutely necessary. The exposure time should be short enough to prevent the photo from being blurred. The shorter it is, the more likely it is that movement will be frozen. The ISO value determines how sensitive a sensor is to light. The higher it is, the more sensitive it becomes. (More precisely, the light signal is amplified.) However, this has a disadvantage, because as the ISO value increases, so does the noise.

You should be able to focus correctly on the camera. You don’t necessarily have to focus manually, but you should be able to select the appropriate focus fields yourself. Furthermore, the significance of the focal length and its effect on the photo should be actively selected. For example, a longer focal length results in a compression effect, which has its own image effect. Even when using a zoom lens, it can’t hurt to take a few steps forward or backward.

Of course, this is only a very brief overview. There are other influencing factors and parameters, but these cannot be conveyed in the brevity of this text.
Tips & Tricks
In stitching, several shots are taken in a horizontal and/or vertical direction, each overlapping by about one third. At the same time, you should try to rotate only the camera around itself. These shots are then combined into a single image using software. Some cameras offer the option of performing the stitching task themselves, eliminating the need for additional software.
▷ See also category: Stitching.
Nothing in the background should distract from the main subject. The viewer’s gaze should automatically fall on your subject and not on distracting details behind it. If your gaze “wanders” around the photo, the background is probably too busy. When taking the photo, move slightly to the left or right. Often, distracting elements will disappear immediately. Or open the aperture slightly to blur the background. Or change the perspective by moving lower or higher.
▷ See also category: Backgrounds.
Chromatic aberrations are colored fringes — often magenta or green — at high-contrast edges in a photograph. They are caused by lens-induced refraction of light waves, where colors do not align sharply. They are most visible at sharp transitions such as treetops or architectural features. They occur primarily with inexpensive lenses or in extreme lighting conditions. This can be avoided with high-quality optics, moderate aperture values, and centered subjects. The effects can usually be corrected in post-processing.
▷ See also category: Chromatic aberration.
The saying “less is more” means showing only what is really important in photography. A good photo does not need many elements. It needs a clear main subject, so decide on a main subject. Instead of showing a lot of the surroundings, get closer to the detail or choose a narrower frame.
Photography, psychology, and psychotherapy are closely linked because images have a direct effect on our emotional experience. The brain processes visual impressions faster than words. Even before we consciously interpret a photo, it activates the limbic system — our center for emotions.
Colors, light, perspective, and facial expressions influence our mood: warm colors have a stimulating effect, cool colors a calming one. A familiar face or a specific place can immediately trigger memories and associated emotions.
At the same time, the way we take photos reflects our inner world. The choice of subject and image composition can reveal unconscious themes. This is used in psychotherapy: photos help to express feelings, activate memories, and reflect self-image. Images thus become a bridge between emotion and language.
Postface
Photography is more than just technique — it’s your way of seeing the world.

Maybe you’re waiting for the “perfect” subject. For better light. For more time. But creativity doesn’t start with perfect conditions — it starts with curiosity. With the courage to look. With the decision to get started today.

The light in the morning tells different stories than the light in the evening. Shadows paint patterns on walls. Raindrops transform into tiny universes when viewed in macro. An ordinary street becomes a stage when you observe it patiently.

You don’t need the most expensive equipment. You need your eye. Ask yourself:

  • What do I overlook every day?
  • How does this moment feel?
  • What happens when I get closer — or further away?

Allow yourself to experiment. Play with perspectives. Crouch down. Take pictures against the light. Deliberately crop something out. Break the rules — after you know them. Not every picture has to be perfect. Every picture can be a step.

Creativity comes from doing. So get going. Capture what moves you. Show your view of the world — because no one else sees it the way you do.

Your camera is not a tool for perfection.
It is a tool for expression.

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.
