A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I'm finding it hard to keep motivated to keep taking photos with the with the advancing in AI technology.

As a photographer how do you keep the motivation to create and go out and find that perfect shot, when someone can just as easily create the same image using an AI in 30 seconds with no skill?

Where I am the weather has turned for the season and it already takes everything I have to go out in the cold, but I find myself taking less and less photos with few and fewer people to share them with.

Does it also seem like images shared on social media don't do it as well anymore? I'm just beginning in photography and I don't know where else to go to show my work. Thank you

Maybe the idea of AI has your creativity stunted. I played with AI - programs that generate images from scratch and in photoshop.

Overall, I'm not impressed -- and the areas that impress me simply save me time -- ie; object selection, noise reduction.

I take a camera everywhere I go and take pictures every day. I make routine efforts to visit destinations or go for drives hunting for pictures, if not simply 'good light.'

Motivation and inspiration sometimes seem non-existent, but, the only way I have every gotten them back is by putting myself in motion.

Body in motion stays in motion concept, but for creativity.
