Hey alltogether,

I am looking for a good photo printing service that delivers prints on Canvas or other fancy materials. I would like to have one of my photos printed to decorate my new flat. I have a vision of a technique that imitates the material quality of acrylic or oil colors.

Doesn't have to be the cheapest available, I am looking for good quality.
Must deliver to Germany, so a european service is advisable.

Anybody has a recommendation?

and

Does anybody know them?]

Bald könnt ihr einen Granitblock auf die Stelle setzen, wo einst dieser Account war. Ich will zurück zu Flickr. Bei Ipernity passiert einfach nüscht.

Hello fellow Cologners,

ich will nächste Woche ein paar Fotos mit einer Freundin machen, sie hat Lust sich zu verkleiden und Modell zu stehen. Das Ganze soll einfach zu realisieren sein, ich stelle mir Ganzkörperaufnahmen und ein paar Portraits vor.
Ich habe keinen guten Blitz, nur eine Nikon D70 mit Standardobjektiv. Stativ ist vorhanden.

Im Kopf habe ich momentan:

• die Tiefgarage des Rheinauhafen,
• den Yachthafen (auch Rheinauhafen)
• die Autobahnauffahrten unter der Zoobrücke (da wo sich die Kreisel und Fahrbahnbrücken überschneiden...)

Wer kennt noch ein paar gute Orte, wo sich kontrastreiche Aufnahmen machen lassen? Wahrscheinlich am frühen Abend, zwischen 17 und 21:00h. Sollte mit dem Rad aus der Innenstadt erreichbar sein.

Did I miss something? Did we have been promised groups? Well, I don't pay for Ipernity yet, but I nevertheless I thought that this wouldn't take that much time. According to the following post by Ipernity team they are only 50% through:

Some fresh news, features and improvements

Die Cologne Meeting Group kann wieder zuschlagen. Ich weiss noch nicht genau, welcher Tag besser ist. Ich bevorzuge momentan Samstag, weil da abends die Dirt Jump Finals sind... am Sonntag ist das Wettkampfprogramm schon um 17:00h zu Ende, dafür gibt es dann die Pro Vert Finals (=Half Pipe). Tageskarte kostet 9 Euro.

Hingehen lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, ich war mit Caren letztes Jahr da, und wir haben an zwei Tagen 3 GB verschossen...:

Wer hat Lust? Und an welchem Tag?

There is a brief documentation on how you can embed a slideshow of a picture feed on your website with a Google AJAX script:

Google AJAX Feed API.

I tried to figure it out with my flickr stream, but only small pics where displayed:

Digital Photo Shooter Trial 1

Of course, I wanted to add my Ipernity RSS Feed to the script instead of the Flickr one, but it didn't work at all.
NO Pics are displayed:
Digital Photo Shooter Trial 2

Here is the source Code: www.martinterber.com/photo2.txt

I guess that the Ipernity feed is not formatted the right way, because the GoogleSlideshow Script needs a feed according to the "Media RSS" Specification. Any idea? Can someone help out, maybe with another script?

Am 08 Juli ist CSD-Parade, und weil ich total ausgehungert nach Motiven bin, würde ich gerne ein wenig herumstromern und Fotos schiessen.

Ganz wichtig ist mir ein Abstecher zur E’de Cologne im Haubrich-Hof am Neumarkt. Das restliche Programm überlasse ich den potentiellen Begleitern.

Wer hat Lust und Vorschläge?

That's me folks!

Get yourself yellow at the Simpson Movie Homepage and post here.

I am working on a new design for my blog / website. It will be a total technical makeover: I'll build it with Typo3 and so I decided to redesign the layout.

How do you like it? Work is still in progress, therefore feedback is more then welcome. You can comment here or directly in the comment line of the screenshot.

It's number one on my private playlist for some weeks already. It makes a good dancefloor, too ;).

Sorry for the bad quality, I tried to reduce it to 3 MB - But that was too much compression, it sounds flat.
If you like it, go and buy it: Vinyl: Loves Too Much or Mp3: Loves Too Much. Dankeschehn.

There is an interesting discussion about the copyrights on our photos and Ipernitys Terms of Service, here:

Ipernity TOS

Another issue is definitely the music upload fetaure. In my eyes, this is not legal when uploading protected work, but -admitted- I just uploaded some favorite artist's music here. Is it like at MySpace, where just presenting the music is OK, because you can't download it? Or do we all risk to get a warning letter from a lawyer?

I won't downtake my music because there is no downlaod option for others. Maybe I will if it's too risky.

What's your opinion?

That's for sure. The additional features like adding music and video just got me.

Who needs majors? Who needs global players? We all are global players, so we might stick to the people who care about us more than Yahoo does. Well, I hope so, Ipernity ;).

I hope the fact that people might upload protected content (like their favorite mp3s) will not break this websites' neck. It's a difficult issue...

BTW: Has anyone found embedding functions? For slideshows, albums etc...?

So I tried to add an URL of an mp3-DJ-Mix I have on my website. It didn't work out, seems to be buggy. I want to have that funky music player on my profile, like .mw or other people have... How to do that? I am sort of stuck.

[Edit:] It seems that there is a limit in filesize.30 MB work quite good, 80 MB seem to exceed that limit. probably the limit is 50 MB.
