J'ai le plaisir de vous convier à venir me rencontrer lors des prochaines Confrontations Photo de Gex qui se tiendront du 30 septembre au 2 octobre 2016 à l'Espace Perdtemps à Gex. J'y proposerai une série avec un fond de commerce qui se trouve au rayon nostalgie de nos mémoires ( confrontations-photo.org/2016-christian-girard/ ). C'est cette nostalgie que j’ai choisi d’évoquer ici, au travers d'objets et de scènes qui se souviennent des gestes, de l'expérience et de l'intelligence de l’hu…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Listing of new groups. Thanks to the astute ipernity member who noticed and reported that the 'New groups' under the Explore menu was actually listing the oldest first. This has been corrected. We are truly a member-run website. 2) Resistance was not futile. The previously reported success at curbing the over utilisation of our servers has continued, so the cost and effort involved with obtaining outside help has proven worthwhile. Th…

Aller d'un monde à l'autre en une fraction de seconde, reste quand même inquiétant. Ce voyage particulier ne recèle t-il pas pas des danger inconnus? Et si d'aventure, par quelque caprice de l'espace-temps , il m'était interdit de revenir au monde qui fait mon quotidien … Je n'imaginais guère ma vie dans un quartier de Londres en 1950 et encore moins en Égypte à l'époque des pharaons . Il fallait être audacieux mais pas téméraire . Je décidai donc de rester perspicace,de ne pas me lancer dans…

When you receive notice that you have been automatically promoted to administrator of a group, that is the perfect time to help out the team with the clean-up of our groups. Even if you don't want to continue as administrator, please take a moment to do the following: 1) View the group and it's current rules. 2) Check to see if the contributions are set to be moderated. 3) Check to see if contributions are staying on the topic/theme of the group. 4) See if the group is getting new sugges…

Au rayon X du magasin, j'ai vu des choses derrière les choses . Un violon penché sous des cordes à linge, un phare du bout du monde dans le globe laiteux d'une ampoule électrique . Cela m'a pris d'un seul coup . Je me suis dit, tu es fou. Je me suis penché sur une casserole en inox rutilante ,elle était lisse comme au premier jour des cuissons . Elle me renvoyait, miroir égyptien, ma tête de pharaon dans un cartouche de Louxor . J'ai pensé tout de suite à Alice au pays des merveilles : toute…

5% Increase in Membership Fees As is detailed in our Treasurer's report, due to inflation our income from membership fees no longer matches the costs. As William mentioned, we have managed to avoid fee increases while other sites have not, only needing a realignment in 2021 due to exchange rate changes. With the uncertainty of membership levels and inflation, we think something in the 5 to 10% range is required. Of course it would be counter productive to propose a higher increase, and ri…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Unwanted phishing emails. Further to the precaution of putting up a warning in our top banner, the policy on ipermails for new members has been revised. From the previous limit of 10 different recipients allowed per day for the first week, it is now far more restrictive to impact the scammers, while data shows that this should not affect honest new members. 2) Upcoming Ipernity General Assembly. First, a date for your diary, if you are able…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Facelift for videos. If you recall when the Adobe Flash Player was disbanded, the use of the HTML5 'video' tag was implemented. But the coding provided by 'Share' under the 'Actions' menu was not updated from using the iframe tag. This has been rectified, for audio files too, so that they can be included in comments, image descriptions, and articles. Also, they can now be played within the medium and large size multiple item display pages. As a c…

[Edit 8/6/2025: The loading of pages is back to normal speeds] Currently our club’s beloved ipernity website varies in accessibility. You may notice times with basically no access, times with very slow loading times and other times when it works quickly. There doesn’t appear to be any regular pattern to these disruptions. As noted before, these overloads are caused by excessive requests accessing our servers. These may be from the new AI bots that since March 2025 now have software t…

While we don't have a solution at this time, there is a work around for this. It takes a small amount of effort, but if mapping is important to you, then you can do so as follows: One can manually change the longitude and latitude for a photo. If the photo is already placed on the map you will see this option just to the right of 'View on map'. If the photo hasn't been placed on a map yet, the option is right below the "Locate on the map" option. Of course you need to know what the longitu…

Ingresé en Ipernity el 2016 porque fotografiar es una de mis aficiones. Acepté las normativas de Ipernity. No existía ninguna reglamentación sobre la IA ni su relación con la fotografía, porque aún no tenía vida. Nació la IA y era evidente que se avecinaba una revolución general y en el mundo gráfico en especial. De inmediato en Ipernity comenzó el goteo de miembros que presentan composiciones gráficas generadas con la IA. Esto indudablemente irá a más por la propia evolución. Me planteé si debería escuchar los cantos de sirena y me dejaba seducir por la IA y lo rechacé de plano. No me niego a los avances tecnológicos, en general me parecen bien y este en concreto es una gran evolución para bien y para mal, como todos. Estoy en Ipernity por la fotografía, no desertaré de ella, y opino que ambas modalidades son incompatibles y no deberían convivir en un mismo lugar. El fútbol y el baloncesto son deportes, pero cada cual tiene su hábitat y su ser. Obviamente, son independientes en todo. A lo sumo, pueden confluir sus directivas en la pertenencia una misma sociedad propietaria. Hay socios de un club de fútbol, hay otros que son socios de baloncesto de la misma entidad, incluso otros son socios de ambos. Estimo que Ipernity debiera optar por una u otra modalidad o bien disponer de las dos por separado. Es decir; unos con membresía para fotografía, que supongo no necesitaría modificaciones al sistema actual, y otros con membresía para la IA. Lo mismo que se rechaza compartir fotografías ajenas, también se debería rechazar que una fotografía entrara en el grupo de IA y a la inversa. Y el que quisiera estar en ambas podría tener un precio inferior a la suma de las dos. Son mis sugerencias, que ni puedo ni pretendo imponer a nadie. Mas, como Ipernity no me impone amigos, de seguir conviviendo en un mismo espacio, será decisión mía elegirlos según entienda que compartimos la misma afición. Deseo aprender fotografía de otros, así que deberé tener amigos fotógrafos para ver sus fotos. Hasta ahora he compartido con amigos pasados a la IA. A partir de enero dejaré de participar en sus galerías. No tengo nada contra ellos, los respeto y hasta admiro sus trabajos y no descarto volver a tratarlos en una plataforma fotográfica. Pero tengo mis principios y los quiero llevar a la práctica. No jugamos en la misma afición, ni con los mismos medios, ni los resultados son homologables. Deseo que la fotografía sea independiente, mantenga los principios ganados en el decurso de los tiempos con el esfuerzo de avezados e insignes fotógrafos, así como incontables fotógrafos anónimos, y no los perdamos de golpe y porrazo en el totum revolutum, anexionados a la IA que, en fotografía, la considero un arte diferente y, si se pretende equipararlos, diría que desnaturalizado. Me podría callar, mirar hacia otro lado y hacer lo que digo, sin irritar a nadie, pero en mi entorno estoy acostumbrado a decir lo que pienso con franqueza.Y lo he dicho. Aprovecho la oportunidad para desearles a todos los miembros de Ipernity… FELIZ NAVIDAD Y PRÓSPERO AÑO NUEVO. José Manuel Polo Larrondo Bilbao, a 15 de diciembre de 2024.

Dear members and friends of ipernity, ============================ For those of you still having problems: If trying to add a new photo to a group, and there is no drop-down list, the first thing to try is the Ctrl+F5 to Refresh. See paragraph below for more about refreshing. If that does not solve the problem, you can try closing and restarting your browser . We do not expect to be able to allow the apps (iPhone or Android) to upload photos. But this is possible with either the…

Nachdem ich am Wochenende eine Tanzveranstaltung besuchen konnte/durfte/musste, scheint es mir der richtige Zeipunkt für einige Überlegungen. Usprung von Musik und Tanz Ich war ja nicht dabei und kann deshalb nur Theorien wiedergeben... Wikipedia erzählt uns, dass es in manchen afrikanischen Sprachen nur ein Wort swowohl für Tanz als auch Musik gibt. Bayern 2 (für alle Ausserbayern [soll's ja geben]: ein Radiosender) erzählt uns, dass die Ursprünge der Musik in einer Synchronisation l…
