Moin ihr, auch wenn es so aussehen mag, dass ich hier nicht mehr aktiv bin, habe ich soeben meine Ende des Monats auslaufende Clubmitgliedschaft bei ipernity um weitere 6 Monate verlängert. Und ja, es ist in der Tat so - wirklich aktiv bin ich hier im Moment nicht mehr. Das liegt aktuell vor allem an einem Zeitdefizit, denn ich bin beruflich gerade sehr stark eingespannt. Aus diesem Grund komme ich aktuell nicht mehr dazu, zu fotografieren - geschweige denn, mir anderer Leute Fotos oder B…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Synchronization problems on our upload servers have affected ipernity's performance since May 8th. In cooperation with Christophe Ruelle, our IT support team succeeded in finding and correcting the cause of the error. 2) We thank you in this context for your patience and your trust, as well as for the many encouragement we received via Facebook: www.facebook.com/pg/ipernity/reviews/?ref=page_internal 3) At the same time the direct link…

Ist es nicht toll, dass es ipernity noch gibt? Das denke ich jedes mal, wenn ich eure tollen Bilder sehe. Und manchmal denke ich, man müsste reisen und nicht nur virtuell von den anderen lernen. Mit Katja die City von Frankfurt erkunden, mit Heidi durch die Berliner Lost-Places stiefeln, mit Sami skurrile Handybilder schießen, mit Gudrun zu den Nordlichtern reisen, Adrians wahnsinnige Insekten-Macros, Yvonnes brilliante Landschaften, Judith, die oft so ähnliche Einfälle hat wie ic…

Vorweg: Ich habe derzeit so viel zu tun, dass ich nicht dazu komme, mich viel auf ipernity aufzuhalten. Also verzeiht mir die Absenz. Ich hoffe, das wird bald wieder besser ... Die Fahrt: Wer letztes Jahr das 365-Tage-Fotoprojekt verfolgt hat weiß, dass mein Termin für die Ballonfahrt immer wieder verschoben wurde. Bis zum Schluss habe ich nicht geglaubt, dass es an diesem Tag klappt. Aufregend war das, als dann der Ballon aufgebaut wurde. Eine junge Frau flitzte völlig…

Ein lang gehegter Wunsch ist in Erfüllung gegangen: die alten Fotos meiner Familie zu digitalisieren.

[EN] Good news: the well awaited feature that enables you to download to your computer the entire content of your albums is now finally available. >> Everything is explained in details in our help section<< There is no simple way to download in just a few clicks the content of an album that can reach up to 2000 photos and several gigs of data. We therefore are offering the best compromise we have found. What you must know: 1) This feature is restricted to the members of the ipern…

[EN] You can finally share your private content outside ipernity with people who do not have an account on ipernity!

[EN] Hello all, Searching for photos inside a group is now finally possible. Don't ask us why it was not possible before because we have no reasons to give apart that we simply plain forgot! Actually you could previously search inside groups you were a member of but not inside other groups. As from now the search feature is available for all the groups on ipernity. Catch you soon! The ipernity Team [FR] Bonjour, La recherche de photos à l'intérieur d'un groupe est enfin…

Ich wünschte ich könnte schreiben. Geschichten, die jemand lesen mag. Geschichten, die spannend und lustig sind. Poetisches. Da ich es nicht kann, muss ich Geschichten mit Bildern erzählen. Bildern, die ich gesehen habe.

(Ursprünglich publiziert am 26. Mai 2014) Front Nationale in Frankreich: 25%, und damit stärkste Partei. Are you fucking serious? Belgium - Vlaams Belang - warum? Ganz ernsthaft - warum? Bulgarien - Ataka. Musste das sein?! Italien - Lega Nord. Wie immer halt. Lasst uns über die Cosa Nostra sprechen, huh? Niederlande - Partij voor de Vrijheid. Und ich hielt euch bisher für ein relativ liberales Land. Doch nur verkappte Rechtspopulisten. Österreich - Freiheitliche Partei Österreic…

Photo credit: Landschaft im August - Landscape (cc) Marcel [EN] Try out our brand new lightbox with WIDER photos! You can launch the lightbox from individual photo pages by clicking on the photo, or from any page where this button appears: Of course, the size of a displayed picture depends on its original size and on the max size its author allows you to see.

Yesterday this picture was on #1 on explore for a while. A reason again to thank you so much. My ipernity-friends - You are incredible! 2014/04/02: first with 100 favs ♥♥♥

Hello all, A lively debate has been going on for a few weeks now concerning the group promotions in the comments under the photos. We have taken into account the arguments and suggestions of users that are for and against this and therefore we have decided to bring some improvement to the service that we hope will satisfy everyone. We still do not wish to have the comment field being used to promote groups. Why is that? All these comments posted without any limit and with the same for…

As from now you can sort your albums into folders! Just go on your album page and discover the new tools. What you must know: - You can sort an album in no more than one folder. - Folders are assimilated to albums. Therefore they are accessible from the "Album" section of each user. The list of folders are primarily displayed. - The display order of folders and albums can be changed by drag and dropping them directly on the page. Go on the "Tools" menu on the top right hand corne…
