Your Life As Art Photography by Pam

Nature is so intriguing to watch. Especially when so many various species of birds are all coexisting together. Its truly incredible to see. Geese, Seagulls, Blue Heron, Ducks… truly so beautiful!
It was fun to watch them going from the lower level to the upper level, they had a little fun on the small rapids first ;)
The geese of Riverside Park in Guelph were busy preening themselves when we were there. I was able to catch one of them waving their wings.
The variety of flowers within Riverside Park in Guelph is mesmerizing. The beauty beneath a macro lens is so breathtaking!
I love the detail in black and white images, especially with a furry little bee!
I had to look this one up, I love flowers but I do not know their names, I appreciate all their beauty regardless ;) Apparently this flower is also known as the Heliopsis Helianthoides but more commonly as the False Sunflower. They do appear similar, this one much smaller in size.

As a photographer I have my own strong opinions of A.I. with photography – its not something that should be pushed, it removes creativity from the image entirely.
My original image was used in both – one however was created with the quote in Gemini by A.I. and one was created in Canva by me.
Based on the image alone – not the font – which one is the AI version and which one was the one created by me? I found it interesting when I compared the two. Same image input into Gemini and Canva. I asked Gemini to add the quote and it did. I added the quote myself on Gemini.
The words of the quote, will always ring true <3
Do you see the difference of the images… can you see where AI butchered the image by compressing it over and over – kind of like if you continually edit a jpg over and over again.
AI is not something that should ever replace a photographers eye, even when manipulating images to add quotes to them, if the original image isn’t kept intact, what is the point?
At least as a photographer this is my view of things, merely going to an app for creation, removes creativity and we need creativity in our lives – daily!
I feel like a kid in a candy store when I see bees or butterflies on flowers. This beauty showed off his wings to me!
The monarch butterfly holds deep spiritual meaning, most notably symbolizing transformation, messengers from the spirit world, and resilience through long journeys. Link
Just over 11 years ago a cousin/friend of mine had a destination wedding in Cuba! First time for me to go there. When I read Patti’s challenge for us this week, I was confused of what I could share, until I remembered their wedding celebration in Cuba! Patti shared in her post a variety of celebrations around the world, I highly recommend checking out her blog post as well!
Their small wedding was so beautiful, and of course I brought my camera.
My husband and I after the wedding.
Whats really cool is these beautiful birds just walked around like normal.
We stayed at the Melia Cayo Coco Resort in Cuba, it was beautiful! Adults only and had a variety of food, the best food was in the reservation restaurants. They also had a little club upstairs at night!
If you would like to join in on the Lens-Artists Challenge be sure to tag Lens-Artists so we can find you! Hope you enjoyed my blog post for this week. I truly do enjoy challenges that come out that have me reliving some of my older photos.
We had time to waste in Guelph the other day so I made sure to bring my camera and macro lens. Meet some bee friends who were enjoying the flowers in the park!
Photography is so healing for me, wandering down the path through the flowers and trees.
