Jim P.<p>I took this photo of a Meerkat 11 years ago on a family Zoo trip and it's probably one of my favorite photos I've ever taken. It almost looks like they posed this way on purpose for a portrait. I've used it as a profile picture on and off over the years since it looks so much like a headshot.</p><p>It popped up in an "on this day" reminder this week.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Meerkat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meerkat</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Zoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zoo</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Animals</span></a></p>

David Allan<p>In a tidal creek off the Helford River on Cornwall's Lizard Penisula, sits this boat, (it's only sitting because it's low tide and it does actually float when the tide comes in!).<br>I understand it was originally a general cargo barge named 'Seroma', operating in Europe.<br>First photographed back in 2021 in a slightly more dilapidated state and prior to that it appeared to have been docked on what looks like a canal near Eindhoven in the Netherlands.<br>It has obviously been a restoration project in progress and the last I read was the vessel might be taking on a new lease of life running local pleasure boat cruises.<br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/cornwall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cornwall</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/landscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>landscape</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/summer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>summer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a></p>

Holger<p>Der aktuelle KI-Boom nervt und fasziniert mich gleichzeitig. Ich glaube auch, dass die Technologie das Potenzial hat, uns zu helfen (denke „Erkennung von Krebs in MRT-Bildern“), aber sie macht mir ebenso Angst (denke „Massenüberwachung“). Und zuletzt gibt es natürlich noch das Problem, dass jede Form generativer KI auf Trainingsdaten beruht, deren Urheber sicher „nicht immer“ […] → <a href="https://ho1ger.de/2025/07/22/ist-das-kunst-oder/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ho1ger.de/2025/07/22/ist-das-k</span><span class="invisible">unst-oder/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/holgersfotos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>holgersfotos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/fotovorschlag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fotovorschlag</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/photosuggestion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photosuggestion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/foto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foto</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/fotografie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fotografie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a></p>
