    Gavin, a tip of the hat to you, as I approach 70 my issues with heights has gotten so bad, that I could now never lean over the railing to get that pano. Nice work, lovely images. Even if they are fake, lol. By the way, I do remember the video you did when taking the photo in Canada. Cheers.

      True. The Justin Bieber Canyon that nobody outside Iceland can pronounce properly. Thatˋs why I call it Justin Bieber Canyon or F-Canyon, because it starts with an F. Besides, after Justin Bieber‘s music video in this Canyon in 2015, the whole flora of this Canyon was destoyed by about 600.000 fans who visited this epic place. In early 2016 the Canyon was closed by the authorities for half a year, so that nature could recover. Info end.

    Great video as always. It’s important to highlight that we all use AI either directly or indirectly. Within Lightroom, photoshop etc a lot of the adjustments we make to our photos are only possible due to AI models. So in effect, all our images are AI enhanced. Or they are part of the process to generate the final images. Of course there is all the other AI in our modern cameras that assist with focus.

  • @cliftonwhittaker260
    @cliftonwhittaker260 2 часа назад

    I have seen that same image or similar images from the same scene by other photographers. So, I know it's not AI. I suspected that they might be using new 5000K LED light bulbs in that little lodge or rest area. If a painter happened to be making a painting of the image I suspect he/she would use a warmer tone for more nostalgic appeal. If I remember correctly, there aren't very many good angles of composition available for this scene. I've had several unusual tonal surprised from shooting snow scenes at night. Some were blue, some surprisingly red but all were caused by anomalous lighting conditions that my eye didn't register when I was setting up the camera. Many of them caused by city streetlights from miles away.
    BTW, I loved your two pano shots from the overlook. Well thought out and nicely done.

  • @captainhappy
    @captainhappy Час назад

    The adjustments in colour and lighting and maybe sharpening are likely there, but isn't that pretty much what almost all photographers do? The snow in front of picture looks quite good, but certainly it must have been the nature which happened to provide he snow there in the way it is. Serge Ramelli (photographer) asked just lately if his photos are fake, but in the end, it is photographers core job to use the tools available to adjust the image, the same adjustments are made in studio too where the photographer controls the lightings and shadows. Where it really goes "beyond the limit" is when the actual content in the image is started to be changed and replaced, but even then, it's image editing, which also requires some skills on top of photographing.

    • @HezuFoto
      @HezuFoto 44 минуты назад

      Nope, brants are only passage migrants in Iceland, but since there was some mostly white birds among those ducks, I would say those were common eiders, but sadly the footage did not show these close enough for that long, so I'm not absolutely sure.
      And I think a clamp or gorillapod with a ballhead would been nice for those valley shots as then you could have attached the camera to railing and get firm, stable shots.

    So AI can't tell the difference between AI and good photography. So where does that leave good photographers? Unless you have proof of in-camera capture are you now shuffled over to the world of non-photographic 'art'. AI is not photography of course, it's more like bringing your imagination to life as you write sentences. Like illustrating a book. So again, where do we go from here, with good photographers needing to defend their work? There needs to be clear code describing how the image was created, either with words, or with a camera.
    Edit: you stated that most people have had no experience with those outdoor scenes, because it's too damn cold for them to experience what dedicated photographers see. So they assume the image must be 'fake' or AI. You know what this reminds me of, those people who've never been to the moon who think the landings were faked. Same brains at work there.
    Your panos are strikingly beautiful! Unique work captured from where thousands would have been limited to single captures.

    It is very interesting about the strange views on post-processing. When one looks at the print of Moonrise over Hernandez by Ansel Adams and then looks at the original negative (raw file), one would also have guessed it was a fake photo. Adams was a brilliant printer and spend hours (sometimes days) getting the print to look the way that he wanted it to look. Boosting the blues is no different than dialing in more of one color with a color printer in the darkroom. AI is stupid if it makes a decision that something is Ai generated just because it is more blue than one might expect. That is the dumb thing about AI instead of human intelligence. I don't place much faith in any AI judgement on art. It is a beautiful shot. I would have preferred it a bit warmer rather than the cold blue hue. That is another thing AI can't grok: each human has their own perception as they look at a piece of art. Beautiful HUMAN photo even if not totally to MY taste. There are billions of other Humans that would disagree with me on that-who cares! I also don't care what AI says art should be.
