Last week I had drove 4 hrs, shot 2723 shots over 7 hours with 2 cameras, hardly slept, then drove back to LA, had a dentist and doctor's appointment Worth it This is the Perseids Meteor Shower over the Milky Way in Mt Pinos with 100s of my newest friends 🌌 PDFs: drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fo...
A foreground of dozens of cars, including a camper right in the middle, and someone on the right side with their parking lights on, in front of a mountain and trees. above that is the milky way with air pollution which fades into a larger star field, that looks like old pictures of space. That star field was taken with a nikon lens from the 70s so it gives a different sense, and the milky way was taken with a new 20mm lens, 14 shots, merged. the retro sky is 2 shots. there are 14 meteors that mostly focus on the center of the picture, but these aren't where they were in the sky. I shot 8 to 10 different areas of the sky that night. All meteors but one were with my new camera and new lens.

The Milky Way has a flare on the stars due to moisture on my camera lens, which I kept given the chaos of the situation. It took me 50 minutes to capture 14 usable milky way pictures because so many people had car lights on. 60 second exposures on the milky way, tracked in move shoot move, 10-15 seconds on the meteors.

This took about 8 hours to edit.

Milky way light pollution processed in GraXpert, foreground stitched in lightroom, milky way stitched in Kolor Autopano Giga, saturated and recolored in lightroom; everything finalized in photoshop, including the meteors. In total 19 layers and about 33 final shots used of the original 2723.

To me, the foundational tension of modern AI is this: If the stated goal is to create a human-level intelligence that can replace human workers but lacks human rights, then the real aspiration is slavery; but if human-level intelligence is impossible, then the industry's stated goal is a lie.

Sounds based to me. More politicians should follow sex workers. Sex work is work and sexuality is normal. The weird thing is when religious people are conditioned to toxically entangle their faith & shame with regular sexual desires. The weird thing is stigmatizing & criminalizing working people.
