Another studio shoot with a MidJourney background.. A7R4 & 24-105
Excellent, Jim! I enjoyed that image. I was intrigued by the background and I looked up what Midjourney background is. Wow, that it is fascinating. It may represent the future of photography. How did you do the composite though? Using PS or another software?

Thanks, I have just started a working with MidJourney. Very powerful software that can create entire images. The technology is developing by leaps and bounds at this point.
I don't think it will replace photography but will impact it in some ways.. It may very well replace some other forms of art or at least seriously change them
I used Photoshop to merge the images.
I have attached one more from the set done the same way.

Shooting the only subject readily available to me (myself), in an effort to justify to myself that all the lighting gear I've aqcuired is not just a way to quench my thirst for gear, but it can actually be used to light a portrait...
5 lights in total; beauty dish as main, two strip lights for side separation, 1 ft softbox as hair light and gelled snoot for the background highlight. A7Rii with Sony 85/1.8 @ f/4

Last night my teenage daughter was very worried and sad about her dog being sick. I had my camera out and got this image which is heartbreaking. Posted in the FE image thread as well.

A rural woman taking in the winter sun, she has about six layers on, no one underdresses in Tibet. A Lhasa urbanite, cheeky smile. Dad and child, Drak Yerpa pilgrimage site.

Thank you very much, Karl! I am glad you like that image. Too bad, somehow I didn’t take a lot of people pictures on this trip… but here is another one from Namibia.
We took a break for lunch at a small village called Aus. To my surprise, since the location is in the middle of nowhere, the restaurant there was more than just decent. It called “Bahnhof”, which is German for station. It was between Luderitz on the coast and Kolmankop that at one time was a very important town since diamonds were discovered there in the German Southwest Africa in the early 1900’s.
I saw a young mother and her boy sitting under the shade of a tree nearby. I asked whether I could take her pictures and she agreed and I did take a few. And here are 2 of the images… The straight line in the background is the railroad track that connects Luderitz and Kolmanskop some 140km and it was constructed within a year to ship troops and supplies to enforce the “Sperrgebiet” (restricted zone) of the diamond mines.
