Atmospheric Moods: The Raw Power and Beauty of Earth's Climate

This collection represents a visual journey through the dynamic and ever-changing moods of our planet's atmosphere. It explores the fascinating duality of nature: the serene beauty of high-altitude cirrus clouds and vibrant rainbows contrasting with the raw, chaotic energy of electrical storms and hurricane-force winds.

From the ethereal glow of the aurora borealis dancing over mountain silhouettes to the microscopic detail of frozen hail, these scenes capture the climatic phenomena that shape our world. The series aims to evoke the feeling of witnessing the sublime power of the elements, ranging from the golden warmth of a sunrise to the ominous darkness of approaching thunderheads.

I think that AI image generation is similar in many ways to photography. The camera itself handles all the fine details, but the photographer is in charge of curating the types of images that will be created.

Ultimately, it is all about maximizing the probability that something good will be created.

This is very similar to AI image generation, in terms of the skills involved and what the human does vs. what the machine does.

You can't compare AI image generation to the process of actually making these images from scratch with 3D software or paint/pencils, where the human controls every detail.

However, I think the process really is very similar to that of photography, as I made the case for above. I think that DALL-E 3 is by far the most powerful AI image generation tool currently available.
