I took these yesterday afternoon. Multi row panoramic images shoot with a Sigma 50mm Macro and my K3. It was mounted on a Fanotec Nodal Ninja Mk3 (ridiculous name) panoramic tripod mount.

Drooling over things I can't afford...

I have finally got round to sorting these out. Taken a few weeks ago when I was waiting for darkness to descend!

These are all HDR image merges. Last one is also a panoramic image.

I've also been an amateur musician throughout my life, still performing a few times a year (and not making any money from it!). And it's the live performance aspect of music which makes me confident that AI will not take over music. The human element is what people want, either from live performers or from a DJ who is choosing and playing recorded music. Who wants to go to a gig where all you hear is AI generated imitations blasting out from a speaker?
I was a musician too, used to play in bands. As well as doing sound engineering professionally, but had to stop because of clapped out body....

But they will try and get AI in it. Probably auto tune or auto harmony.... there are lots of places they could use it in. Jingles, ad music, incidental music..... if its not already there.

Sadly where there is a way to save money using AI, it will happen. I think that's the part that irks me the most.....

As for cameras, I shoot only in manual mode, and as a rule I ignore the metering. I almost never allow the camera to tell me what to do. The histogram and all that is ignored. I have an idea in my mind and my experience drives me to set the camera to whar I want.
