Ugly Hedgehog has guidelines on how and where AI and AI/photograph hybrid images may be posted. I believe it is time to revisit these guidelines. With few exceptions most of us use AI to one degree or another in Post Processing. I believe it is time to allow AI generated images to be posted in any Forum as long they are identified as such.


I agree with you that the lines are getting blurred. But where do you stop? If you would allow a totally AI created image to be posted in any of the UHH sections, why not paintings?

I plan to spend two weeks in Maine in late July. Are there any "Must See" photographic stops that you recommend? Either well-known or along the back roads.

Thank you!


I forgot to mention a place I have fond memories of. Many years ago we spent a night on Isle au Haut in a lighthouse keeper's house converted to a B&B. No electricity, dinner by candlelight. The next day, carrying picnic food and directions provided by the innkeeper, we hiked along the shore.

Isle au Haute is an island accessible by ferry from Stonington (see attached map). About half of it is part of the Acadia National Park. Don't know what it's like today but I think the keeper's house may have been sold.

I spent some time in the coastal Rockland-Rockport-Camden area and like it a lot. But expect crowds in the summer.

I found Lubec (the easternmost town of the contiguous United States) very appealing. Cross a bridge and you are in Canada where you can visit Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Campobello summer home.

Isn't it time to stop comparing film and digital in terms of pros and cons, better or worse? Can't we just accept film as a way of creating photographic images that appeals to some? Do we agonize over the relative merits of violin and piano music?

I agree that political comments are out of line here and I have no problem with you characterizing his remarks as "bitching." The "children have the Constitutional Right to take guns to school to kill their teacher and other pupils" and "elect a criminal con merchant as President" are comments attacking a particular political faction, not an attack on the country.


You gotta be kidding!

He said "a country where children have the Constitutional Right to take guns to school to kill their teacher and other pupils!

First it's a falsehood, a lie. As far as Constitutional rights are concerned, the authors had a defined constituency in mind and I'm pretty sure it didn't include children. And the OP thinks we have a Constitutional right to kill people!? How absurd....

Aside from spreading falsehoods, the OP. as a foreigner, shows very poor taste in attacking the U. S. on this forum no matter how dissatisfied he is with some of the membership.

Okay. Here's a revision.


Intriguing subject and composition. Following up on Linda's comment, I wonder if a square format- achieved by cropping off the top - would be better?

I see a big problem developing. Most electronics need an app for your cell phone, but it must usually be a newer, better phone. I have had two devices for which I could not download the app. I have another one that will download to one phone or not the other. We shouldn't have to keep buying $1,000 cell phone so we can use a $50 device.

I have a Motorola from 2020 and a Samsung from 2018. they both work fine, except for most required apps.


What "electronics" require an app? I'd like to know so I can stay away from them.

Wait! I just remembered a soundbar I bought recently. It required an app to set it up.....

Correcting grammar in a Photography Forum would normally be considered off topic and anal.
Discussing merits and improvements possible of a Photo in a Photo forum would seem...on topic.

My philosophy: Anything posted in a public forum is up for discussion.

Admin. philosophy: Doesn't need to conform to yours or mine.


You say: My philosophy: Anything posted in a public forum is up for discussion.

You can philosophize all you want as long as you comply with Admin's Forum rules. Folks who don't want to follow the rules shouldn't be here.

I don't think so. Then the person would have to say "No! You may not." It's best not to say anything negative about pictures posted in the gallery.


What is so hard to understand about "Don't critique in the Gallery unless invited to do so"? .........🤔🤔🤔

I think Quixdraw and Admin had a falling-out?

The one thing that seems to be eluding some in the Photo Gallery is that the section has specific rules. It does state that the poster may ask others to comment.


This section is for posting pictures you took. If you want to ask others to comment on your choice of subjects, composition, settings, show off your pictures to others, or ask for general critique, then please do so in the Photo Gallery section.

Why do folks insist on commenting when their comments aren't asked for. The polite thing might be to ask "May I make a suggestion?"

If someone needs help in getting good photos, what is wrong with telling them? I don't mind, in fact I appreciate it.
What is wrong with healthy criticism?


It's wrong when it's not welcomed!

I have a D500, tamron 18-400, Have been taking pictures a long time, but am a complete amateur. I usually keep my setting on raw. While in charleston, I noticed it got switched to j peg/ raw. When viewing on the computer, The jpeg Pictures far, much more vivid. The sky is much more blue. I was going to delete the j. Peg pictures and move raw to adobe to play with. Can someone help me understand Why they look so different. Is it because j peg is making the corrections in the camera? Is sending the raw picks to adobe, A good way for me to learn. I plan to make a book for my mother to have memories. What If I get lucky and get an image of the angel oak tree that's good enough to convert to print at larger than 16 x20. I am way below the level of people on this forum but. I would appreciate a quick start of information. I was pretty successful with Previous photos and editing but it's been a long time.

You've already gotten some good, helpful answers to your question. Now watch out for the opinionated crowd with their cheerleading chants and irrelevant posturing.

Stirred up a few good memories has this post. Are we able to search and find posts by those who've left us?
I'd particularly like to see some of GEOFF100's work again.

As mentioned by another, his subtlety with HDR was a joy to behold.


Go to "User List" at the top of any UHH page and search for the user name. I couldn't find anything on GEOFF100, but here's the other name you mentioned:
