They’re nice pictures, but I was glad to see the comments pointing out how processed they are. Made me feel better about my own pictures!
I’m actually quite disappointed by most of that. I want to see raw, natural beauty.
Yeah many of them are a bit too heavy on the editing for my taste as well. Some editing is always required to get something beautiful, but many of them look a bit too unreal to m. Still great photos, and obviously some hard work
They really do not look real, do they?
Though it comes across as a sales pitch for the gear, there’s a bit about what was used by Rumpf in:
“with a workflow built around Lightroom for most of his processing, Photoshop “for major spot removal and refined masks,” and Topaz Lab for sharpening and noise reduction” - I’d note that the Topaz product was probably “Photo AI” or one of that family of products all with AI in the name.
Incredible photos. I would have guessed some of those were AI generated, they seem so alien
Supposedly AI isn’t allowed, but if you check the comments, one person said those sites that check for AI was positive on at least one.
Once person noted that maybe photographers are starting to emulate AI. Yikes.
Thanks for that info, it’s disgusting that people try to pass AI off as art. I can imagine photographers trying to emulate the surrealist effect that AI can give off, but I hope it doesn’t become the norm, that style gets tiring to look at pretty quickly
