This image was captured on this day in 2013. As such the image I have created here is not that different from the image I made back in 2013. However, the way I got there has. Of course in the last 11 years my Lightroom and Photoshop skills have, I hope, improved but the one thing that has changed is back in 2013 I didn’t have access to AI tools which now becoming more and more commonplace. I try not to make too much use of these tools which, if the latest reviews of the latest Photoshop beta are to be believed, are going to become even more powerful, but as time goes on they will become more and more pervasive or is that invasive?

Do I feel threatened by such developments? Not the in slightest. I make photographs for me and no amount of AI is going to do that. It can enhance the images I captured but the resultant photograph is all me. Then again I don’t make a living from this so perhaps my views might be different. Perhaps, perhaps not. Only time will tell.
