Thank you! I was walking along the road and there is this big building that is like triple-plated glass windows. It has this weird effect where everything kinda looks double when it is reflected. So I just raised my camera and took the shot. So it kinda looks like there are multiple versions of them, like a weird dimension. I didn't even notice that they were looking at the lens, and the smile really tops it off. I originally cropped it to be just them, but I kinda like them leaving the frame instead, as it adds to that motion look.
Thanks for the support. I'm no expert, but feel free to post any questions you have and I'll do my best to help! Beginner questions are okay, of course.
Check out our new darkroom community if you're into darkroom processing or analog/film photography. I'm trying to get it off the ground, so crossposting any of your analog content there would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot! Yeah, I developed the film and made the print myself. I really enjoy doing the whole process start to finish because I find it very meditative, and it allows for a lot of creative freedom.
'Will people choose the more expensive option (the photographer) for a product that will take longer to produce'
to which the answer is never really going to be straightforward but mainly the people that value the product and the nature of it most certainly will, while those that are just looking for something as quickly, and cheaply, as possible without it being perfect, won't.
This is essentially the path of least resistance, it's been in effect since time began so it's not 'will it happen one day', people already use generative programs to create images and other media rather than go to an artist/photographer/etc because it's easier and/or cheaper but there will never be anything that can fully replace a professional photographer.
Also, AI doesn't exist, AI didn't create any of those mediocre images in that video.
"Will AI replace <X>" just sounds like "will photos replace paintings" or "will video games replace movies" to me. Mediums can be similar, yet different. A lot of times now the line between a TV show and a Movie is blurred. They're still considered different types of media with different rules.
Honestly, I don't know either. Either seems to be okay. I'd wager threads bring possible engagement for longer, seeing as there's not nearly as many of them as microblogs.
Cool picture btw!
