ipernity groups

365minutes group
1 minute per day for 365 days. *
You need to appear in the video. (like a self-portrait)
You can start whenever you want.
You do not have to talk.
You do not have to do some special editing

365days of selfportraits group
Take a selfportrait every day for a year and post it to the group.
Rules: The idea is to take a selfportrait. What you describe as a selfportrait, is up to you. Most of us use a tripod or take the one-arm-lengh-selfportrait. If you have a remote, that's great, otherwise use the settings on your camera. The photo has to include a part of your body. The face, a foot or just a finger.

Now your turn, are you ready?

We are often asked about how photos are selected to be displayed on the ipernity frontpage.

So here's the answer!

Every Friday, we define a theme. As you may notice, this week theme is "ballooning" ;-)

Then we look for photos matching both the selected theme and the following requirements:
-- aspect ratio: 15/10 landscape (to be compliant with the frontpage layout),
-- no frame,
-- original content,
-- ideally, CC licensed,
-- creative, artistic content deserving the frontpage,
-- enhancing the ipernity service.

Of course, tagged photos have more chance to be found!

At last, we select the 5 ones we prefer and put them on the frontpage.

All the selected photos are faved by "team ipernity" and can be viewed here:

We plan to create more exploring possibilities including an explore/frontpage page.

All suggestions are welcome, so if you have ideas about themes and related photos, feel free to contact us!
