| Description |
Deutsch: Prinzipalmarkt, Münster, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland
Der Prinzipalmarkt ist ein Straßenzug in Münsters Altstadt. Der Name bedeutet Hauptmarkt, im Unterschied zu den nahe liegenden Straßen Roggenmarkt und Fischmarkt. Der Prinzipalmarkt dokumentiert mit seinem Grundriss und der Bebauung die geschichtliche und bauliche Entwicklung des wirtschaftlichen und politischen Zentrums von Münster. Die Entwicklung als bürgerliche Marktstraße am Rand der Domfreiheit und an der östlichen Domburggrenze begann im 12. Jahrhundert. Eine geschlossene Bebauung gab es vermutlich um 1280. An der Wende vom 13. zum 14. Jahrhundert entstand der den Prinzipalmarkt prägende Bogengang. Erst Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts kam die Bezeichnung Prinzipalmarkt auf. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden die meisten Gebäude des Prinzipalmarktes völlig, einige bis auf Keller und Erdgeschosslaube zerstört. Durch den etwa zwischen 1947 und 1958 erfolgten Wiederaufbau konnte der Prinzipalmarkt seinen Charakter als Ensemble in Form einer historischen Marktlage wahren. Gegenüber dem Vorkriegszustand wurden viele Gebäude stark verändert, der ursprüngliche Eindruck blieb jedoch erhalten. English: Prinzipalmarkt, Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Prinzipalmarkt is a street in Münster’s old town. The name means “main market”, in contrast to the nearby streets Roggenmarkt and Fischmarkt. With its layout and buildings, Prinzipalmarkt documents the historical and architectural development of Münster’s economic and political center. Its development as a bourgeois market street on the edge of the cathedral precinct and on the eastern border of the cathedral began in the 12th century. A closed development probably existed around 1280. At the turn of the 13th to 14th century, the arcade that characterizes the Prinzipalmarkt was built. It was not until the beginning of the 17th century that the name Prinzipalmarkt came into use. During World War II, most of the buildings on Prinzipalmarkt were completely destroyed, some down to their cellars and ground floors. Thanks to reconstruction work carried out between 1947 and 1958, Prinzipalmarkt was able to retain its character as an ensemble in the form of a historic market square. Compared to its pre-war state, many buildings were significantly altered, but the original impression remained intact.

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
A high-contrast image (HDRI) is a photo with a greater dynamic range. The difference between the brightest and darkest points in the photo is greater than can be captured in a single photo. A series of exposures is taken, with the shortest exposure time capturing the bright areas well and the longest exposure time capturing the dark areas well. These photos, usually at least three, are then processed using software and compressed to the visible spectrum (tone mapping). Some cameras offer the option of taking this shot directly, but this lacks flexibility in editing.
▷ See also category: HDR images.
Long exposure photography typically uses exposure times that either reveal the movement of objects or make it impossible to take pictures freehand without blurring. There is no set time for this. Freehand photography is used to achieve certain effects (for example, the panning effect). A tripod is used, for example, for indoor photography in order to achieve the desired sharpness regardless of the exposure time. If the exposure times are not long enough during the day, neutral density filters can be used to extend them.
▷ See also category: Long exposure photography.
The deep blue color during the blue hour, a period during twilight, is caused by the long path of light through the ozone layer. The blue hour is an excellent time for night photography, as the nighttime lighting is already visible and contours are still discernible. The sky itself has an intense color.
▷ See also category: Blue hour.
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.
Postface
Photography is more than just technique — it’s your way of seeing the world.
It is a tool for expression.
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.

Maxims
Category:Images by XRay (flat list)#Münster,%20Prinzipalmarkt%20--%202014%20--%204516-20-2.jpgCategory:Changes of XRay's photographs of the recent weeks#20260429145410Every photographer has maxims that guide him or her. Sometimes they exist consciously, sometimes unconsciously. So here is an attempt to formulate this maxim for my own photos:
- I have to like the photos myself. Even if interests change over the course of time, this means that primarily subjects of personal interest are photographed. Subjects of secondary interest serve to increase knowledge and experiment with other techniques or subjects. Commissioned work with special design requirements is not carried out.
- Free knowledge should be supported. The photos should support knowledge and education in every possible way. I see free knowledge as a valuable asset. There is no commercial interest and it would also stand in the way of creativity.
- The joy of photography should be visible. Photography should be fun. Beautiful pictures should enable fantasy worlds. My photos should convey all of this.
- Photos are only offered to third parties if they have been finally processed. The entire development process is carried out by me, from the choice of motif to post-processing. Changes of any kind by third parties are therefore not acceptable. Use is of course permitted subject to the license conditions.
- The technically possible should be utilized. The equipment sets limits, but the photos should be taken within these limits. This also means that photos are usually taken in raw data format.
- The photos are part of a creative process. From the idea to the choice of motif to post-processing, the creative process is utilized and the individual view is used to shape it.
- The photos should serve as a model for others and arouse interest in photography. Photography has many facets, from documentation to artistic use. The special features of this medium are intended to arouse interest in photography and also photographic art.
- The photos should have a positive effect. My hope is that the photos will help make the world a little bit better and have a positive impact on how we interact with each other. That is why I am particularly pleased when the photos are used for educational purposes or volunteer work.
