The Ambassador Images group has now been in existence for three years. The original idea was " ... to show images by our members that are particularly worth seeing and that represent the spectrum of their work in the greatest possible diversity. It is not a 'best-of' group. " It is now time to evaluate whether the group has achieved this goal or whether adjustments may be necessary. The current inventory shows that of the total of 1264 contributions, 533 (42%) come from 81 group member…

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. [Acts 2:20] Actually instead of doom and gloom, 8 April 2024 proved to be a surreal, awesome, joyful and even life-changing day for many who had watched as the eclipse unfolded with anticipation, excitement and awe. Since 21 August 2017 when our area (the NYC metro region) experienced a partial solar eclipse, Don and I had resolved to see totality in a solar eclipse set fo…

Image created by Dall-e 2 Today, with the USA on the cusp of an intractable split, the Supreme Court exhibited a rare example of unity handing down a 9-0 decision that prohibited states from removing former President Donald Trump from the ballot. Like him or loathe him, this is the correct decision since allowing states to determine who is on their ballots would've destroyed our electoral system since states sympathetic to Trump’s candidacy threatened to retaliate and likewi…

New-Delhi (Inde) - La municipalité de new-Delhi a réussi à exproprier la totalité des 2.700 familles d’artistes de rue qui vivaient dans la colonie du bidonville de Kathputli, située à l’Ouest de Delhi. Les artistes ont bien tenté de résister, faisant prendre plusieurs années de retard au projet de modernisation urbaine, mais aujourd’hui, les promoteurs ont gagné.

"Where No Man Has Gone Before" oder "Where I have never gone before" Es gibt wohl in jedem Leben eines Menschen sogenannte "galaktische Barrieren" , die so gut wie nie überschritten werden können. Auch wenn ich ein Fan von Sciene Fiction bin, so geht es hier nicht um Raumschiffe und Abenteuer im Universum. Aber wir sind ja nun mal im Universum, können uns nur nicht so frei im selbigen bewegen, wie wir es gerne wollen. Kurz gesagt, ich werde nie zum Mond fliegen, geschweige zu Planeten in unserer Galaxis und schon gar nicht darüber hinaus. Aber es ist sichtbar und wenn ich schon nicht dorthin reisen kann, so kann ich zumindest versuchen, das Sichtbare "näher 'ran zu holen".

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…

La région du Dhanbad dans l’Etat du Jharkhand, est la capitale indienne du charbon. Les compagnies minières y exploitent d’immenses mines à ciel ouvert. Entre les engins mécaniques qui ravagent la nature environnante, les mineurs illégaux, qui résident dans les villages à proximité des mines, tentent de récupérer quelques miettes de ce charbon pour survivre. Tous souffrent de maladies respiratoires chroniques ; mais il faut bien vivre et le charbon est à portée de main.

One of the main reasons why I join photo communities like Ipernity is to learn from others. I can learn simply from looking at other peoples work but I also think that CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is important and would help me to understand how I can improve. When I first took up photography numpty seven years ago I joined a camera club or photographic society. Each week we had to produce a mounted print for review and criticism by the other members. The criticisms were meant to be helpful but cou…
