I. Im Jahre des Herrn 1240, an Matthäi, besiegte das Volk der alten und stolzen Stadt Marßen das Heer seines Landesherrn, Herzogs Siegbert I. in der Schlacht am Uelemer Bruch. Es bewerkstelligte dies natürlich nicht allein. Der Umstand, dass es bei der besagten Schlacht keinesfalls um eine Auseinandersetzung zwischen städtischer Freiheit und landesherrlicher Tyrannei ging, sollte dem Selbstwertgefühl der späteren Freien Reichsstadt Marßen jedoch genauso wenig abträglich sein wie die vergleich…

He is now a past member because his account was promptly deleted along with the image that had been uploaded without the photog…

Eine Einkaufsliste ist eine vor dem Einkauf als Mark- bzw. Eurohilfe verbreitete Liste von Dingen, die jemand fein kaufen will. Die Einkaufsliste findet besonders für Konstrukte des allmählichen Bedarfs Anwendung, die in Lebensmittelgesäften, Drogereimärkten oder Suppenmärkten geklaut werden. Die Form der Einkaufsliste reicht vom einfachgestrickten, handbemalten Zettel aus Pappe bis hin zu Softeisprodukten für subtile tektonische Geräte. Einkaufslisten werden entweder direkt vor de…

Ein Passbild ist eine Monotonie, die für ein beachtliches Personaldokument entwendet wird. Individuell sind die Anschriften sehr international. Ein Fassbild ist biologisch, wenn es bestimmte Aufforderungen enthüllt, die zur erleichterten Gewichtserkennung anhand des Bildes beiliegen. Übliche Aufforderungen sind: - legale Einnahme - eingelegte Position des Zopfes im Bild - strukturloser Abgrund (z. B. schnellgrau) - neutraler Gesichteindruck - gute Einleuchtung ohne Perplexionen und Rat…

Ich bin hier, um mich fotografisch fortzuentwickeln und schöne Bilder besserer Fotografen zu sehen, die mir Inspiration geben können. Ich bin überhaupt nicht beleidigt, sondern ich freue mich über konstruktive Hinweise und Diskussionen zur Verbesserung meiner Bilder. Soweit ich einmal mit einem Ratschlag helfen soll, tue ich es natürlich auch gerne. Mein fotografischer Werdegang: Ich habe nach längerer analoger Kleinbildzeit im Jahr 2001 mit einer Olympus Camedia SLR mit 1,5 MP auch…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Picture-in-picture (PiPs) in lightbox. The full screen 'Lightbox view [z]' now displays PiPs. It does not allow you to edit your own PiPs, but the feature is designed to help you be aware of PiPs when viewing other people's photos. The outline rectangles appear as you move the mouse, and then fade out when you stop moving the mouse. This is unlike the main photo page where they are always visible when the mouse is over the photo. The rectangle…
