Well i for one liked the photos BUT they are a bit of fun not a work of art ,they really good i am not that clever with computer stuff to do that. But it is scarey what can be done with a i these days you just dont know what to beleive any more and is only going to get worse🤔.

If you post pictures of your models on this site you should not be precious about them

I have had some success with playful AI images of my models, but you can't beat the real thing. This was my Cormooring at our club lake. Unfortunately, I now appreciate the quality I put into it and since selling have completely lost track of her.

Perhaps AI photos are not acceptable for real model boat enthusiasts, as we pretty much deal with focusing on the "real" model and some fictional setting.

I know it is hard to get good photos of our model giving the small scale model in a 1:1 world. Water action, color, lighting, and background. This also applies to videos as well.

There are ways to improve real photos and videos of our models without AI. Depth of field, especially with close-ups, is a good one. A camera that offers photo adjustments like "aperture" for depth of field is one thought. (Unfortunately, cell phones don't have this.)

A slow moving boat does not spray the water so for close-ups that might be better. For high speed distance does not show the spray as much.

Get down close to the water. If you stand on the shore or dock and take a photo it will look un-real.

A 1/32 scale tied to a 1/300 scale ship is freaky in my view. Put the tug in the foreground and the ship in the background and force the perspective.

I try to use natural settings for my camera work.

As for using AI on this site I would recommend a disclaimer like "AI used" or "Is it real or fake?" with the later possibly being a fun topic.

I agree with both Chris and Jumpugly; you've made some good points, in my opinion.
The photos you posted of Ronald's boats are very suggestive, even if they're fake, hahahahaha.
We need to know how to use weapons, even if we don't like them.
Chris, if you want to experiment with my photos, you're welcome to do so now, hahahahaha.

Chris!
Please don’t get me wrong.
I am good with Ai art and creativity it’s just how it’s being abused online and within politics, especially over here. Not to mention Ai being used to have Disney animated characters discuss sexual topics. It’s insane.
At times, I feel as though the world’s gone absolutely nuts.
Thank God I have my shop and boats to retreat to.

In the future, please ask permission from the owner of the photo before posting it in an AI generated backdrop.

Thanks

Ron

These are fun Chris, but having spent 38 years in Hollywood...I'll not go any further other than to say I wish Sam Altman and Chatgtp would get the hell out of my life.

I am sick of watching these AI images. So many real ship videos that have been shrunk down in size and "operated" like RC boats around a pool or tank. This has become a nonsenseical tidal wave put out by people with little skills. I much rather watch AI steampunk videos that takes some imagination to create.

As for framing a model boat in a real background, that is quite different. I know that when building my models I can't help but imagining or visualizing it as a real boat. The skill is in the modeling and the background is just the frame.

Nice match!

Two-- the lighthouse adds a traditional charm to the picture and you still have the look of the model, AI can sometimes overwhelm the image and correct way more that you need... Well done
