Photographer admits prize-winning image was AI-generated
German artist Boris Eldagsen says entry to Sony world photography awards was designed to provoke debate

A photographer is refusing a prestigious award after admitting to being a “cheeky monkey” and generating the prize-winning image using artificial intelligence.
The German artist Boris Eldagsen revealed on his website that he was not accepting the prize for the creative open category, which he won at last week’s Sony world photography awards.
The winning photograph depicted two women from different generations in black and white.
In a statement on his website, Eldagsen, who studied photography and visual arts at the Art Academy of Mainz, conceptual art and intermedia at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, and fine art at the Sarojini Naidu School of Arts and Communication in Hyderabad, said he “applied as a cheeky monkey” to find out if competitions would be prepared for AI images to enter. “They are not,” he added.
“We, the photo world, need an open discussion,” said Eldagsen. “A discussion about what we want to consider photography and what not. Is the umbrella of photography large enough to invite AI images to enter – or would this be a mistake?
“With my refusal of the award I hope to speed up this debate.”
He said this was a “historic moment” as it was the first time an AI image had won a prestigious international photography competition, adding: “How many of you knew or suspected that it was AI generated? Something about this doesn’t feel right, does it?
“AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this. They are different entities. AI is not photography. Therefore I will not accept the award.”
Eldagsen suggested donating the prize to a photo festival hosted in Odesa, Ukraine.
The stunt comes at a time of intense debate over the use and implications of AI with some issuing apocalyptic warnings that the technology is on the brink of irreversibly damaging the human experience.
Recent advancements in the use of AI in chatbots, driverless cars, song-writing software and the development of pharmaceuticals has spurred the discussion. Google’s chief executive, Sundar Pichai, said concerns about AI had kept him awake at night and warned the technology can be “very harmful” if incorrectly deployed.
The Guardian has approached Creo, the art events organisers behind the competition, for comment.
On this one I used the sun peaking through the shade at a medium slow shutter speed 1/40 second to make little squiggly lines in the water ripples from the sun's reflection on the water, this is done in bright afternoon light in the shade, now you know how to do this trick,
it's about imagination and the love of light, break free, feel the light. you can do anything with a camera, get a idea in your head and then figure out how to do it, and bring it to life, might take a few try's, learn what went wrong as you attempt your creation, and end up with the image you wanted, it is not magic, it is you. be yourself, and use the light
Using the cloudy night to work on edits, and keeping an eye on the one who we all know comes sooner or later... :)

Typically, Gerard used a very sensual image, that of a ripe berry bursting with fluid full in the mouth, to describe how Christ’s instress, once acknowledged, could flood and change a person: “How a lush-kept plush-capped sloe / Will, mouthed to flesh-burst, / Gush!—flush the man, the being with it . . . / Brim, in a flash, full!—Hither then, last or first, / To hero of Calvary, Christ, ’s feet— / Never ask if meaning it, wanting it, warned of it—men go.”
-A Heart Lost in Wonder The Life and Faith of Gerard Manley Hopkins, Catharine Randall
Welcome to the big wide world on a small, narrow screen!
Due to no more service on his old track phone, my husband
reluctantly upgraded to an android, without internet . . .
He thought he'd start at a snail's pace, using his new toy
for photo ops and texting with our daughters & granddaughters!
Well, even he reluctantly admits he is a "changed person"
and doesn't know how he ever lived without this!
So, true confession, I also honed in on the shot
and played with the snail! LOL
Now we follow one another around the yard
getting different points of view!

Used this texture and a displacement map, among other things. Any guesses what the texture shot is?

Photographed using a Helios 40-2 85mm Lens
The flare was actually caught with the lens. Flare is quite prominent with this lens. It just happened to be in the right place this time so I kept the photo.
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees belonging to the four o' clock family, Nyctaginaceae. They are native to Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. There are between 4 and 22 species in the genus. The inflorescence consists of large colourful sepal-like bracts which surround three simple waxy flowers, gaining popularity for the plant as an ornamental. The plant is named after explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville (1729-1811), after it was documented on one of his expeditions.
The species grow 1 to 12 metres (3 to 39 ft) tall, scrambling over other plants with their spiky thorns. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4–13 cm long and 2–6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colours associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes called "paper flower" because its bracts are thin and papery. The fruit is a narrow five-lobed achene.
I used to call this tree the Eagle Tree. Now that it no longer bears an eagle's nest, I am not sure what to call it and it looks a bit lonely without it,
I still love the tree though, It's like an Arthur Rackham illustration with its stark and jagged lines.
Using an enlarger or projector lens as a day-to-day lens is challenging. In case of enlarger lens, they are usually set to perform the best on certain distance to enlarge 10 times or less). They perform very well as macro and close-up lens.
I tried it as a landscape lens. (Disclaimer: I am not a landscape photographer at all). I liked it in combination with IR or ND filter.
On this photo I tried to get a vintage BW grainy look. Long exposure aide in camera was disabled. NO grain added in post-pocessing.

The chapel was built in the 13thcentury, in honour of the nurse of San Vito, Santa Crescenzia. Legend has it that the woman remained petrified - transgressing the order not to turn around during a landslide event - in the same place where the chapel later arose.
The structure is arabesque, but influences from other styles, particularly Gothic and Norman, can be seen. Initially it was used as a place of pilgrimage but. around the 15thcentury, it became a real fortress.

L' effetto "pendenza" delle torri è stato realizzato attraverso «uno spessore crescente nella muratura esterna», nei punti più larghi utilizzata per ricavare piccole stanze di servizio. Altra particolarità, le facciate nere e lucenti, rivestite con 20 mila lastre di vetro gres e le mille finestre quadrate disposte in modo irregolare. Pareti rosa per i corridoi interni, con una sfumatura diversa ogni due piani.

I no longer use my light meter now that I've swapped to digital and shoot with strobes most of the time. It still hangs on my tripod though, and I've forgotten how to use it. But sometimes, if I need to think while shooting someone, I'll hold out the light meter and act as though I'm metering light. I twist a few dials and mutter to myself as I think. It looks very professional and impressive.

These used to be called Wall Browns when I was young. This one is warming up on the chalk downs. They are easily spooked and I had to use all my fieldcraft to get this shot. There is a bit more detail when viewed large.
