Thought for the Day

Thought for the Day
This photograph appears because I wanted to crop and edit for colour a very old picture originally taken with a small compact film camera. I wanted to do this edit with Picmonkey because when other editors have failed, Picmonkey sometimes succeeds. For the time being ipernity makes Picmonkey available - I have no other access to it.
That set me thinking. By my standards this is not a good photograph. If I were to post only good photographs I would have difficulty in finding 100. A good many of that number would have been made using a 50mm lens.
Just because we can display as much as we choose does not mean we should post indiscriminately. I am therefore considering whether ipernity is a refuge for safe storage or a means of displaying my best pictures. It surely can't be both in my case.

tiabunna, Pics-UM, Arlequin Photographie have particularly liked this photo

Ipernity c'est tout ça à la fois ! Chacun y trouve ce qu'il cherche.

Yes, I suppose this is a valid point of view. Thank you.

✅ Wenn Du Fotos sichern willst, aber nicht öffentlich zeigen willst, dann musst Du die Fotos (privat) hochladen oder auf privat ändern.

I have a few family pictures which I keep private. I don't object to the remainder being available to ipernity members even though they are of poor quality. As a matter of fact, I have sometimes been surprised to find that what I had supposed to be of little value is in fact quite widely appreciated. It's an issue of taste and discrimination. My standards differ from others' standards. But I feel my collection needs to be reduced through weeding out the rubbish. Thank you for your comment, which is welcome, as usual.

Yes, with the thoughts on promoting ipernity, there are unique features such as the picmonkey access which could well be publicised more.

I recall a message from ipernity that there is a new version of Picmonkey which will not be available for us. They are allowing us to use the old version for a while but it will be taken down soon. I ought to explore buying Picmonkey perhaps. But it is quite basic and youth orientated. I am no longer a youth.
