Absolutely agree!

On the flip side, I also lead/teach a lot of photography workshops around the globe each year. Since Ai has come onto the scene, I have seen a massive uptick in people wanting to have their own experiences because they can't trust what they see online anymore.

This is very true. It is going to disrupt a lot of fields.

AI generated Videos are getting crazy! With access to Google Gemini 's VEO2 engine I was able to create this 8 sec video that mirrors nearly 100 clips I have personally filmed in Africa of leopards. It did it in under a minute with a few simple prompts.

What are your thoughts on AI generated video?

I love the challenge of photographing birds in flight. This is where your camera's AF system and high FPS (frames per second) come into play.

An incredible sunset over Torres del Paine in Southern Patagonia. Such a remarkable destination! While the weather here can be very unforgiving, it can also be rewarding when everything lines up!

The Eyelash Pit Viper (Bothriechis schlegelii) is an incredible species of snake found in parts of Central and South America. These smaller vipers are arboreal (live in trees) and are ambush predators. They get their name "Eyelash" because of the scales that can be found above their eyes.

Keel-billed Toucans are both incredibly funny looking and insanely beautiful birds. They can be found in central and South America, but only Brazil has them listed as their national bird.

Oh wow. I watched that documentary. So sad!

Colby Brown Photography @colbybrown.bsky.social · Jan 18

Much appreciated!

There is no greater wildlife experience on the planet than seeing wild Silverback Gorillas from the ground! No safari vehicles separating you...just you, the gorillas and the surrounding jungle!

Pre-Dawn light appears over one of my favorite mountain ranges in the world, Torres del Paine in Southern Patagonia. Even after 20 trips to this region over the years, this view NEVER gets old!

Have you been to Patagonia before?

Easily one of my favorite hidden gems in Australia is Karijini National Park. Located in Western Oz, it consists of a handful of amazing gorges, pools and waterfalls in the middle of the outback.

Have you ever heard of it before?

So amazing to have it to yourself like that!

Colby Brown Photography @colbybrown.bsky.social · Dec 28

I highly recommend it. Lots of foot traffic there now days but still worth an experience!

Colby Brown Photography @colbybrown.bsky.social · Dec 28

Such a great spot!

When the light hits the walls of Antelope Canyon in Northern Arizona, it becomes a pretty magical place!

A magical moment of a rainbow appearing behind an Eagle Hunter in Mongolia. Timing is everything when it comes to situations like this!

A good puffy down jacket. I always get mine from Eddie Bauer as they generally have athletic cuts in "tall" sizes.
