Taken from a bridge over the M40 motorway outside oxford. Chose the spot because of an absence of motorway lighting, and the curve of the road. It was freezing cold and windy as hell when I was taking the shot, but it was fun. Lit completely with ambient headlights.

Taken out of the window of a train outside Totness at around 100mph. Motion of me relative to train tracks was minimal, but motion relative to background was high, blurring the background nicely but leaving a nice sharp pair of tracks.

Very useful. If you are going to implement please share your results!

Thanks Pandya for the photos you posted and the explanation. Do you remember your shooting settings? Did you touch the images using any software?

Some of those are cool but most of the still scenes with moving vehicles or humans just look like crappy shots. Like why are there people blurred at the fruit stand or the water slide? Clearly the objects in motion weren't the focus (no pun intended) of those shots. And some just don't make sense. Like the first one. The building was moving on him? In both directions?

Yeah. The light trails on the motorway was shot with an EOS40D and a 17-40L lens at 17mm, ISO100, f/4 and a 25 second shutter. The train tracks was shot with the same equipment, ISO100, 17mm, f/8 and 1/25th second shutter. Some minor post work was done on both images to tidy them up, as I do with all my shots, but effects of motion blur were entirely done with the equipment, not in photoshop. Black and white conversion was done in Photoshop on the train tracks.

rashikaviani - no, most of them are not done in photoshop. It's what happens when you have a camera shutter open for an extended amount of time.

Here's my best efforts... they were all taken on a normal ?70 point and shoot digital camera with no special features...

the one of big ben and the red bus, i actually used someones head as a tripod lol....

cant get hold of originals at the moment which are a lot better quality... not bad for an amateur tho ay? lol

How did you do that?

^ Just one of the shots I took on a freezing cold night. :)

Those 45 photo's are just amazing though!

Nice. Can you share the settings you used?

How did you do it? Did you ask them to stop moving?

That looks strangely like one of mine:

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
