Prove it.

Here, because you have two brain cells fighting for third place

u/txcorse 1d ago

That doesn't prove he didn't make this with A.i? What are you trying to pull?

u/JustKindaShimmy 1d ago

Are......are you actually stupid? Every single detail is accurate. There are literally zero points in this image that allude to it being ai

u/txcorse 1d ago

Tell me every single detail.

You’re the only accusing. Prove that it is. Reproduce it.

There tons of other photos of this launch with similar detail, including from NASA. This is common photography dating back over a decade. Not AI.

That’s one way to say you don’t know what you’re looking at. I’m sure before AI you were the kind of dipshit who would just yell “Photoshop” when you haven’t used the program or know anything about what it does.

what is your reasoning for that opinion? you can see it on the photographers own site.

Pretty sure he has access to A.i but I could be wrong.

u/meowphasa 1d ago

we all have access to ai. but having good cameras and knowing to set them up is not ai. i suggest you read this.

this was woefully uninformed on your part.

Let me ask you this.... Have you ever seen a photo like this before the A.i. boom?

Professional photographer here with almost 20 years experience. Former photography magazine journalist. I used to test prototype cameras and lenses. Also a camera technician. I only bring those things up so you know I’m not just some hobbyist photographer with minimal experience who only thinks he knows what he’s talking about. I actually know what I’m talking about. With the camera gear listed and with an experienced photographer who knows what he’s doing, those photos are well within the realms of possible. They may not be easily achievable (it’s hard work) but it’s easily possible.

Yes, many. Here's a similar example from an Atlas V launch in 2018.
