Military and military history photography |
- By Nick-D
A rewarding way of developing Wikipedia articles is to illustrate them with photos you've taken yourself. If you have the opportunity to travel to see the subject of an article, it can be surprisingly easy to generate the best-available images of it: while Wikimedia Commons' collections are vast, coverage of individual topics is surprisingly patchy and where photos are available they often aren't very useful. Seeking photos for an article can also lead you to some interesting places.
There's a huge amount of advice available on the internet and in books on the nuts and bolts of photography, and on Commons about copyright rules, which I won't go into. The following is some advice on how to take photographs which are useful for Wikipedia military history articles based on my personal experiences.
