Sometimes I get these reels on Facebook - drivers th8nking they can push an 18-wheeler around. They are hilarious!

While AI is an interesting technology in the world... (show quote)
The AI of today encompasses so many areas. That one can open ChatGPT and give it some direction of what you want to "write", and it scours the Internet for maybe relevant information is so-called Artificial Intelligence. What I see as the problem with that, is that ChatGPT cannot discriminate between misinformation, disinformation, and fact, so what you get from ChatGPT is probably not factual. The indiscriminate use of such AI by a naive person, or a conniving person, is scary. I have started recognizing AI-written material by it's total lack of "personality" or emotion. On Facebook, websites for "Short Haircuts" is another example. They aren't using real models any more, and it's obvious. The hairstyles are too perfect, the models too perfect. It's becoming more and more pervasive in social media and so many people take what they see on social media at face value, that THAT is scary. Disinformation (the purposeful act of spreading false information disguised as fact) was so widely disseminated about Covid this and Covid that, and about political rivals, it became a full-time job for those of us who value truth to fact-check. Even fact-checking will soon become moot, as the use of AI-generated speeches/appearances will become less easily discerned.

Greetings scallihan. I see we are neighbors. We bought our first home in Tigard, on Pfaffle street and are now residing in beautiful downtown Beaverton. Thanks very much for your glowing review and very kind words. I have
been told I should enter my Dahlia images into the Swan Island Dahlia contest each year and I should go ahead and
do just that. Many thanks and appreciate your saying hello.

Here in the PNW, we got a bit darker, like a heavier cloud passing over. So I watched it on T.V. Posting just for giggles.
I look forward to the great images I know are coming!

I was using a 400 2.8 lens with a rear mount filter slide. The huge 4 inch+ front filter mount was damaged on the barrowed lens I was using. As I recall the darkest rear mount filter I could find was an 8 stop. Since I used a 2x converter it allowed an exposure of 1/8000 at f22. My Mark3 camera suffered no damage. The converter made the difference. See samples
Nice crisp image!

A fine set of images of peonies and you're right about susceptible to the whims of weathers. No 1 and 7 are my faves. Also, not an ant to be seen anywhere.
I put ant baits around my peonies and never get ants on the flowers.

Reinforces why I do not use smart phones .....but, thanks for sharing !
Kind of a nasty comment, there Imagemaster. Smartphones are fine for people who just want to capture their travels for the memories, not to blow up and show in juried galleries or shows. This is a lovely image, one Fred will cherish as the trip was on his bucket list.

That's a stunner! I have never seen a dahlia that brilliant yellow, and I've seen LOTS of dahlias. There is a large dahlia farm not too far from me, and I go every year. My husband and I planted 13 dahlias one year, tended them wisely, and by year three we had 65 viable tubers. We were literally giving them away!
