Sorry Gareth, I disagree.  AI will never replace real life.  Everything I have seen here looks artificial, over-stylised and frankly, dead.

Have to agree those Bing images just dont look real. seem to be missing something, reminds me of when CDs came out in the 80s good but something missing and still is compared to vinyl

Wow! and Wow! again.   Stunning image.

Thank you Fogey. I didnt even plan this i was on way to Jacobs ladder with my staffie for a days hiking and stopped off as daylight approached didnt even have my full frame camere this was on a 7D2 and 17-40mmf4L 

flying low up the River Trent taken on 7D2, I still use it now and again

Yes, the results are funny, but in a few years time when AI is winning Photography Competitions, it's going to make forums like this redundant; so real people going out and taking actual photographs is going to be replaced by geeks using AI to bypass the actual physical process of going out to photograph something, with a "create me a sunset image of mountains with a woman in a red dress".....

dont think i will be around when that happens 

I couldnt stop laughing 

Thank you so much

Had a gander around Wollaton Park last sunday 4th june managed quite a variation 

lovely set 

You probably got the better deal at Reedham lane. i was at the spotter carpark (hate that spot went there as met some friends there ) assumed the flying would be closer there than my usual at 25 end 

Still found i was a fair way off them and had to use a 1.4x extender 

lovely images Colin

Practice Display Authorization for pilots to be able to do their shows this year. It was a very hard day light wise and all these images have had sky replacement. Note the passenger jet wasnt part of the PDA but is a daily visitor 

Lovely set

Great shot Mark. Haworth had a 1940's weekend this week and had a BBMF with 2 spitfires, I saw them but alas wasn't able to photograph them

Thank yo Ryewolf, i understand the Lancaster had a restistor issue saturday and could meet all the flypasts and shows that day. There mechanics did a fine job and got her back in the air early evening so i believe one or two flypasts were done somewhat late

Yeah ...  I love the Lancaster  ... iconic image and   pretty sharp for me .... A small point Monkey ... are those three  circular marks on your lens  at 7'o'clock 6 o'clock and 4o'clock.. ?...  worth removing maybe . 

Oh dear thank you so much for highlighting thode little terrrors looks like im going to need the sensor cleaning hope ive managed to clone them out

Nice shot - shutter speed is low enough, whilst it's great to get more prop blur sometimes it's better to have a sharper picture.

Thank you Colin

Thank you. was struggling as my back has been bad lately so i didnt drop shutter as low as i would have liked. Getting better slowly need to get out more now

Fantastice colours

Well done

Lovely set I go there quite a lot

My recent visit to Bempton RSPB last thursday weather great except 40 offshore winds which didnt help with long lenses . All taken with 100-400mm and 1.4x extender at 560mm and heavy cropping
