I replace my Canon "G" series with the Olympus Tough - pocket sized, very sturdy, underwater capable, great image quality . . .
Olympus Tough TG-6
The Olympus Tough TG-6 is a weatherized digital compact camera It differs from the Olympus Tough TG-5, by including new underwater modes, more macro photo options as well as a monitor with improved resolution. The TG-6 is technically very similar to the Olympus TG-4 and TG-5. The physical dimensions of the TG-4, TG-5 and the TG-6 are identical.
Maker:Olympus Corporation
Lens:4.5-18mm (35mm equivalent: 25-100mm)
F-numbers:f/2.0 wide - f/4.9 tele (35mm equivalent: f/11.1 wide - f/27.2 tele)

I was going to recommend this lens to an OP but in checking I find it is no longer available from most stores. I love mine and hadn't heard of it being discontinued. In fact, the Sigma site still shows it.

. . . I saw a video from Tony and Chelsea Northrup where some company stole one of their images . . . for a marketing campaign and the company was in a different country. They sued. It took years, a lot of money and they didn't get any economic satisfaction, but at least they won the copyright case. . . . .
I used to teach a basic workshop on copyright law. These laws are specific to a country and frequently different outside the USA.

But according to your words about the law someone can make a chance and the image is theirs !!
copyright law says only the original owner has the right to change a copyrighted document/image - How AI will impact this is a next big debate . . .

I ask this question of you and everyone who feels as you do, regardless of their political views, when you do find what you consider a trustworthy source of information, how do you distinguish between receiving the unvarnished truth and being told something you like because it confirms those biases and prejudices you believe to be true. It is a tough question for all of us.
When receiving information I question, my inclination is to check in wikipedia and/or do a search to look for some conformation as to the accuracy of a statement. Often see that while some statements have many hits, but when all track back to a single source = probably false

Thank you all, reading these responses has been both educational and enjoyable.
I posted this question as I was struggling with my transition from SOOC to post processing with PS/LR and these days learning Luminar NEO. I Started with cheap equipment shooting slides in the ‘60s. My harshest critic was me. The “yield” of images that I liked was low. Over time I got better equipment, and the “yield” got higher”, but was still basically a SOOC photographer competing with my skills as of yesterday. As time went by I struggled with the level of processing capable by today’s software and was beginning to wonder what constitutes a photograph. Were my improved image due to me, better lenses or software. The answer seems to be both. I guess what surprises me the most is running a raw capture from the mid ‘70s thru the current crop of PP editors and getting an image that I like as much as one from yesterday. With approximately 35,000 raw files on several drives to play with I will not feel guilty about enhancing a few.

A real photographer like Ansel Adams hiked all the way into those mountains and took one perfect shot and hiked home to glory.
Adams was a big proponent of dodging and burning. A precursor to digital manipulation?

A question for the group.
As I look at on-line posts of images, I see some that obviously been created by adding features that weren’t in the original capture. But with the advent of AI it’s getting harder. With all the editing software out there, many adding features for enhancing an image, I’m curious as to your opinions as to when an image transitions from a photo into the realm of “digital art”. What will be the impact on competitions?

I'm a Canon shooter with a herd of lenses. Primarily prefer outdoor/nature environs. Looking forward to learning new ideas from all you folks at the "Hog".

I've been posting images on Facebook's Nature Photography Group, both to see what Photographers around the world post, and think of my posts. This also compares what I might think is good vs. the worlds opinion of what is good. I arbitrarily rank the results by the number of likes achieved in 24 hours. My scoring is >15 is high, <10 is low, others are medium.
Two Swans got a low rank . . .
