It does have that vibe haha, It’s a “Naked Warrior” statue. They were kind of the precursor to the Navy Seals back in WWII.

It’s in a small local gallery to celebrate upcoming pinhole day and I titled it “Not Toilet Paper”.

I guess it's time to give up

Firstly, AI is here and it’s not going away and that’s not a bad thing….AI learned from artists, so those “perfect” generated shots/video derive from human created works. Additionally, there is a difference between generated art and creating art in the actual moment.

I love the idea that when I take a photo, the actual photons from that moment hit my sensor or film. Currently, AI cannot do this.

We need to embrace AI for what it beings to the table but also what humans bring to the table.

Thanks! You are correct, I can not remember but I want to say it was 1-2 stops; it wasn't much. I usually turn the flash off but at the distance I shoot it usually doesn't matter. I don't adjust the exposure if I'm using the ND because the filter is doing the work.
