old times in photography

[BillFritsch]

Long ago there was film-- then came the digital revolution-- I post that drones are to digital photgraphy as digital was to film

Nah. Can you imagine a portrait photographer hovering a drone in someone's face to get a shot? Drones make it possible for anyone to get a shot or clip that used to require hiring an aircraft or getting elevated, but they aren't a replacement for ground-level photography or video.

Yes that is true but I am still getting a lot of requests for a drone-- a good eye can never be replaced weather film or digital

I don't think this is the right comparison, drones are a carrier or method, not the medium, as film or digital. Typically drones carry a digital camera. It is quite concievable that a drone could carry a film camera. In fact, Estes made a model rocket kit tht had a simple instamatic-type film camera in the nose cone.

Real estate, construction, commercial, motorsports, and a lot more want drones these days, but it's in addition to, not instead of.

Yeah, I don't agree with the comparison either, drones are a method, just one of the many. I'd be more worried about AI getting out of control. Of course you could have done some very realistic photoshopping years ago and there are entire guides on changing facial expressions and stuff, but there have already been cases of people misinterpreting AI images for real photos and vice versa, and it'll only get worse, I suppose. I don't think AI images are going to eliminate pro photography altogether, but the market is going to be flooded with stuff like that. Tbh I'd rather it to be drones

Can't agree. Drones are just a way to position a digital camera from a different perspective. They are more suited to video than stills. Nice try though.
