I came to learn about ipernity because one of my flickrfriends left flickr and told me he was going here. Censorship and filters on flickr being a fact.

This is a nice place and I think I might be here for good. I really like some of the features here, making my page a bit personal is really nice.

Keep up the good work!

I have removed 400 shots from my flickr account. There are 3 shots left. I decided not to close the account, but to leave some significant shots behind and a message my flickr friends to read. I did not want to leave without saying why.

I am actually really glad that I came over to ipernity - it felt good emptying my albums on flickr and telling my pals why I was leaving. I wrote a note to a few of my old groups there and in one of them a discussion arose about censorship and wether or not flickr could have made another choice than putting up filters.

I have yet to find a function that I miss from flicrk, there are quite a few that I enjoy here. I would like to do that music thingy, but I don't know how ... yet.

I have geotagged several shots now, and that proved to be easier here than on flickr

I can see that some of the satellite shots are not up to date, but actually they seem newer than on flickr

Out on Amager Strandpark (wheelchairshots) the "land addition" is there here on ipernity, so I don't have to place the shots out in the water.

Keep up the good work!

This is such a nice place to be.

No awards please.

Two days ago, I suddenly had 20 messages. A little bubble up there said so. So I clicked on Messages and I did indeed have 20 messages.

Since then I click on messages once a day and I always have messages, but the bubble is quiet.

Do bubbles indeed need time off..........I wonder.

A bigoode idea www.ipernity.com/blog/bigoode/12786

My gear:

Nikon D200, D70 and F80

Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D with a HR-1 hood (soft)

Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f2.8-4.0 D with a HB-25 hood

Nikon SB-800 flash

A MC-30 remote for the D200 and a ML-L3 for the D70

Extension tubes with no name.

52mm filters: Circular Polarizers from Kenko and Black, UV from Hoya, A12 and L39 from Nikon, KR12 from B+W

72mm filters: 1A from Rodenstock and a Kenko Circular Polarizer

A Star 63 tripod from Hama that I bought in Hungary once. Not very good, but it was cheap there and certainly better than nothing.

My wishlist:

I am saving up for the Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED.

I would also love a wide lens. Mayby a Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4.0 AT-X 124AF Pro DX

A true story from the future.

I think I need one. Arrived here at our place in the country and have just found out that I have two hours left of juice for my laptop and yes, I forgot the juicemachine at home. So, not much going on here for a couple of days.

The brain-situation is obviously more serious than I thought.

I hadn't forgotten anything. I just couldn't find it in my bag untill the umptieth time I looked.

Anyway, it means I can hammer away when I am not in the greenhouse/nursery or in the woods or whatever.

Beðið eftir Godot og hópum.

I am uploading some old shots that used to be on flickr and I thought I would pick them in groups. First I started with my granddaughter, now I am uploading birds. I know exactly where I am going from there :)

I have uploaded most of my bird shots and move over to feathers and at the same time want to show you some colourful people I have come across.

Still uploading old stuff and some new things in between. Inspired by one of my contacts, I am now uploading a few shots from Rügen in Germany.
