    Cool! I've seen good things about that lens. Awesome to hear you shoot on cloudy days. Gives me a reason to take the camera out on more often

    Just saw all of your plant\flower shots and they're all phenomenal. I love that you keep\make them dark so it's like the subject melts into a dark void. You've got an awesome style.

    Are you shooting with a 105mm prime? Is it a dedicated macro lens? What kind of lighting do you look for when you shoot?

    Anyone know how we would be able to continue these products? My understanding is that this charger is 100% controlled by an app. Are there open source alternatives?

    Perfect lighting and fog to make the dock look like it leads to nothingness. Shot on Samsung S21U Main Lens 1/950 f/1.8 ISO 16 Definitely regretted not bringing my camera that day

    EA desperately wants investors to know it's on the generative AI bandwagon

    I scrubbed the video for the better part of 40 minutes. Here's the vibe. These points bounce off each other.

    1. AI everything. This is aimed at investors who don't know shit about games other than it has labor cost. Nothing novel was shown or discussed other than broad strokes of concepts which we already know about.

    2. Sponsors and Ads everywhere. To remind us it's EA

    3. Creating is bad business. EA wants:

    • to use AI, not artists
    • fleeting interactions, not deep experiences
    • sell platforms, not content
    • engage algorithmically

    They aspire to do to games what TikTok/Reels/Yt shorts did for video. Make it as easy to make a "game" (AI slop) as shooting a phone video. Let the algorithm bubble up addictive crap and get eyeballs on screens. Ads everywhere. Pay extra to make Iron Man a character in your 2-minute "game"

    This is a nightmare and I hope they fail

    This article suggests that there are a significant number of people who thought that the Lightyear movie failed because it included a same-sex kiss. How out of touch are these corpos?

    Probably a cliche landscape for a photographer. Near Page, Arizona, it's a mighty view and a good opportunity to pull out the wide-angle. Just don't let the crowd push your camera off a cliff during the sunset chaos. I might go back one day and try a sunrise shot.
