My focus for the next several posts in this series is going to be what you might call industry specific, or creative focus specific to - Photography.

I will be using Claude.ai in this post (+ Midjourney for images)

Photographers (and those who take pictures - even with your smart phone) - hello! I have so much I want to say to you and share with you about how you can use LLMs, I am just about to burst. For those who have never taken a picture in their life… hold your taters. I bet if you follow along, you can see some practical cross-over for YOUR industry and creative outlets also.

Photography

Aside from the various iPhones in the house, there are 3 digital cameras, that include my wife’s Minolta, a Nikon D90 (my first quality foray into Digital shooting), and this lovely Canon EOS Rebel T2i. There were several film cameras I got rid of a few years back - that included a Pentax (my very first exchangeable lens camera I used in college), 2 Nikons, and some random point-and-shoots. Of course a year after I got rid of them - COVID happened, and everyone wanted those old film cameras. That is a story for another time…

Watch this…

Canon EOS Rebel T2i

This is an older camera kit that I bought when my oldest kids were playing football - so I could capture closeups of the action. Still takes great images. Along with the camera bag (not important for this discussion), the kit includes:

  • Canon EOS Rebel T2i camera body

  • Canon EFS 18-55mm Lens

  • Canon EFS 70-300mm Zoom Lens.

With your Camera setup - we are going to start a conversation with your favorite LLM. I’ll start with ChatGPT-4o
