I walked along an empty path
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
Is this the Earth, beneath my feet?
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go somewhere only we know?
It’s a fairytale town, isn’t it? How’s a fairytale town not somebody’s fucking thing? How can all those canals and bridges and cobbled streets and those churches, all that beautiful fucking fairytale stuff, how can that not be somebody’s fucking thing, eh?
Nice photo and good work on the edit to make the water pop. Cellphone cameras are pretty good, but I still prefer a dedicated camera for most situations.
Most instances will prevent you from uploading “large” files. For lemmy.world, I think the cap is around 2 MB. It’s actually somewhat frustrating because my (most/all?) client apps allows you to upload photos, but the upload will fail 90% of the time. There doesn’t appear to be an API to check for this size limit and/or the client(s) aren’t using it and resizing a temp copy of the photo before upload. I often wonder if this is contributing to a somewhat low post level… I make the vast majority of my posts from my PC for this reason if they’re going to have more than one photo.
I usually take pictures on my phone as it’s always with me, but for this specific situation, the telephoto lenses restrict too much light, and so the image becomes too noisy and artifactey as the phone tries to compensate for it being under-exposed. As for the upload limits, i was able to upload the photo at a much larger size (~8mb), but it failed to show a preview of the image, so i had to scale it down even more.
It’s funny because most people think the image automatically comes out like this, and they don’t know about editing the pics to make them pop and sizzle
I can imagine you’d be able to take a similar looking photo raw as the edited version if you could control everything in the scene, but most of the time you can’t control all lighting and colors, so you have to edit the image afterward. I guess that’s where computational photography falls into place, but it does make a lot of errors, and obviously doesn’t know how you want the image to look.
When I first started with Photography, I was clueless about how technical it is, and was just the gear itself, and then flash photography adds to it, and once you figure that out, then there was the editing and how to make colors pop. I’m 5 years into it and I am still learning. But colors have to pop to me, or else it’s dull, but its also a balance of not blowing out skintones.https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e7d54991-8ed4-4987-81be-b7b09a6f345d.jpeg
This makes their brand more valuable. This makes stock holders more rich.
It’s difficult to make a case for “poor creatives” when the job of the CEO is to make the company more efficient and profitable. We can be as angry as we want but it’s really not this guy’s fault. It’s the fault of technological advancement - as it always has been.
If you look at all the creative or manual labor processes that have been taken over by technology, I don’t think many of these jobs have ever really recovered. The alternative has typically been to move to emerging markets where they can’t afford to invest in the technology but that’s very different now.
My first real job was interning at an ad agency (where I later became an art director). My first job was to page through stock photo books that filled a 15x15ft room. It took me hours or days to find a great picture and it was rare that a photo was “perfect” for the project. As an art director, the ability to just ask AI for the picture I want and get it in a few minutes is just mind blowing. At the same time, I can imagine the entire role of an art director could be eliminated and given to the account director. Maybe that job goes away too. This could really turn the entire creative marketing industry upside down.
This is definitely a bad omen. AI cannot replace the human eye and what they see, but in the name of saving money, they will AI it. Shucks how many graphics guys do this?
I not 100% sure, but I think it’s due to ticks. Ticks will live out their lives on the moose, and the moose will do what it can to remove them, which results in them having patchy fur.
