    I don't know. If the girl was with someone, they'd have their friend shoot them, or selfie both of them. In any case, I'm talking about people who look like they're really all alone, on vacation traveling or whatever. I enjoy offering to take their pictures. Often, when there are a number of people like a family, and one parent is taking shots of the rest of the family, I offer to shoot all of them. I do my best to really get a memorable picture and it's much appreciated by them. I feel good about it too.

    Whenever I see single girls using selfie sticks I feel like they're lonely being by themselves. Sometimes I'll offer to take their pictures, especially if they're cute.

    I think there's an iPhone app to track your alcohol consumption. 🙂

    The other downside is you need bodyguards when buying one. Customers resort to violence at a Delhi store over delay in iPhone 15 supply | Trending - Hindustan Times

    I did. I posed it here as well to get ideas from this forum.

    I recently went to a wedding that had pro photographers with pro Canon equipment. It also included pro-lighting and strobes as ambient light at weddings is subdued, often pretty dark. Also, when shooting couples dancing, there are additional lights set up along the periphery. I can't imaging they would not use pro cameras that are made to integrate all this lighting. Plus they were using zoom lenses as well. iPhones are really like P&S's but with terrible ergonomics for shooting effectively and efficiently.

    My original post focused on contests done annually among our six 55+ communities. What I might do personally is a separate issue. I'm trying to figure out how the contest rules should be handled. It's one thing using PS and AI to edit your own picture. But pictures wholly created by AI should be prohibited in my opinion just as we prohibit previous contest winners and photos taken before two years before the contest. We don't want people submitted "ringers". We shouldn't allow AIs either.

    I find making slide shows of vacations or parties are like telling stories. Add music to compliment the photos and locations, and the stories gets better. Show them on my 75" 4K TV in the living room and it's like watching a movie. Great fun and satisfaction.

    I'm glad you got that off your chest.

    But the new Zf is half the price.

    Maybe AI can eliminate a lot of divorces by picking the right mate for everyone? 🙂

    Sam, I was referring to contests. While you may not want to enter them, many people enjoy the competition of contests. AI will take the competition out because some people will just be entering work by AI programs rather than submitting their own work. We may have to update our rules to make it clear that AI won't be allowed.

    AI is going to take the fun out for a lot of photographers. Why bother? I belong to a 55+ community and we have a photo club with contests. It's bad enough with submitters swapping out skies with Photoshop and cloning other objects. Now, with AI, their pictures will be even better. Why compete? Why show anyone your work? There are no standards. It's going to really hurt what's left of the camera companies.

    I live in a gated community in New Jersey. There are no street views at all, only the satellite views and regular map views. Those appear to be around three years old.

    So Joe, you're taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the f stops?
