Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Bulletin from our club president. On 7 October 2023 we were presented with a claim for monetary damages from a well-established and reputable German-headquartered company that specializes in obtaining compensation from intellectual property theft (e.g. copyright infringements) because of the actions of an ipernity member. He is now a past member because his account was promptly deleted along with the image that had been uploaded without the photog…

Das Märchen "Das kalte Herz" von Wilhem Hauff beginnt mit dem Satz: "Wer durch Schwaben reist..." und bezieht sich zwar auf einen Abstecher in den Schwarzwald, kann aber oft angewendet werden, wenn man eben "durch Schwaben reist" und das können ganz unterschiedliche Landstriche sein.

Wind Nord/Ost, Startbahn null-drei Bis hier hör‘ ich die Motoren Wie ein Pfeil zieht sie vorbei Und es dröhnt in meinen Ohren Und der nasse Asphalt bebt Wie ein Schleier staubt der Regen Bis sie abhebt und sie schwebt Der Sonne entgegen... (Text: Reinhard Mey) Eines haben Flughäfen, Bahnhöfe und Häfen gemeinsam: Sie sind Punkte auf der Landkarte, von denen wir meistens nach ganz weit weg starten. Das unterscheidet sie deutlich vom Parkplatz, auf dem wir ins Auto steigen, um irgendwo hinzufahren. Allerdings - und da gibt es auch unterschiedliche Gemeinsamkeiten - von der Romantik wie in Reinhard Meys Lied, haben wir uns schon lange verabschiedet.

Die meisten von uns haben vermutlich täglich Umgang mit Menschen. Warum also sollte das Thema 234 Jahre nach Erstveröffentlichung immer noch ein Thema sein?

Festzuhalten ist, d…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. The ipernity homepage. You can now click on the artist's name to go directly to the original photo. This will pause the slideshow ready for your return, after viewing the original. This new link will hopefully be beneficial to the artist as well as to non-members who will see exactly what our main individual photo pages look like. 2. Group highlight. A group that had lain dormant for many months now has a new admin team. New admin, Roger, w…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Picture-in-picture (PiPs) in lightbox. The full screen 'Lightbox view [z]' now displays PiPs. It does not allow you to edit your own PiPs, but the feature is designed to help you be aware of PiPs when viewing other people's photos. The outline rectangles appear as you move the mouse, and then fade out when you stop moving the mouse. This is unlike the main photo page where they are always visible when the mouse is over the photo. The recta…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Outreach support needed (advisory position). For our club to have a good future, it needs to be better known. Therefore, we need to promote ipernity. There are many ways to do this. Some of them have already been put in place. But we need someone who has a little time to keep these activities alive. New ways of promoting ipernity could also be found. Advisors would coordinate with the team, but have autonomy to run their own projects. There is…
