Hoy exploramos cómo la Inteligencia Artificial está transformando nuestra forma de planificar, capturar y editar nuestras fotografías.    >   TALLERES DE FOTOGRAFÍA Ya están disponibles las fechas para los Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje que formarán parte de mi oferta formativa. Si te apetece acompañarme en nuevas aventuras fotográficas, respetando todas las medidas de seguridad, echa un vistazo. Plazas limitadas. Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje con Rafa Irusta INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL EN FOTOGRAFÍA DE PAISAJES En este episodio de Distancia Hiperfocal, Roger Vivé y yo nos adentramos en un tema que genera tanto entusiasmo como controversia: el papel de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la Fotografía de Paisaje. Analizamos cómo esta tecnología está transformando todo el proceso fotográfico, desde la planificación hasta el revelado, y debatimos sobre sus ventajas, riesgos y su impacto ético y creativo. PUNTOS CLAVE TRATADOS EN EL EPISODIO IA como herramienta, no como amenaza Coincidimos en que la IA no es un enemigo, sino un recurso que, bien utilizado, puede facilitar muchas tareas fotográficas. El valor sigue estando en nuestra mirada personal y en la intención con la que usamos las herramientas. Presencia de la IA en el equipo fotográfico Muchas cámaras, móviles y drones ya integran funciones como el enfoque al ojo, la detección de escenas o el seguimiento de sujetos, todas basadas en IA. Lo mismo sucede con programas de edición como Lightroom o Photoshop, que integran funciones inteligentes para máscaras, reducción de ruido o mejoras automáticas. Planificación con ayuda de IA Herramientas como PhotoPills o Viewfinder aprovechan algoritmos inteligentes para facilitar la planificación de localizaciones, amaneceres, puestas de sol o condiciones meteorológicas, mejorando así nuestras salidas fotográficas. Edición y selección asistida Discutimos sobre el uso de IA para automatizar procesos como la selección de imágenes, el reescalado, la eliminación de ruido o el retoque automático. Si bien pueden ahorrar tiempo, ambos coincidimos en que preferimos tener control sobre el proceso creativo, especialmente en la edición final. Riesgos y ética Hablamos de temas sensibles como el reemplazo de cielos, la generación de imágenes completas mediante IA o la pérdida de estilo personal si se delega demasiado en estas herramientas. El debate ético no gira tanto en torno a la IA en sí, sino al uso que hacemos de ella. ¿Hasta qué punto sigue siendo nuestra fotografía si la genera o edita una IA? Consejos para integrar la IA sin perder la visión personal Utilizar la IA como apoyo, no como sustituto. Mantener el control creativo en cada fase del proceso. Establecer límites personales (por ejemplo, no cambiar cielos, no generar paisajes inexistentes). Formarse para comprender cómo funciona la IA y sacarle el máximo provecho sin renunciar a nuestra voz fotográfica. Mirada al futuro Exploramos qué puede venir: edición por voz o texto, recomendaciones compositivas automáticas, simulación de estaciones, generación de imágenes cada vez más realistas… Todo apunta a que la IA seguirá evolucionando y formando parte del flujo fotográfico, por lo que será clave saber usarla con criterio. CONCLUSIONES La inteligencia artificial (IA) ha llegado para quedarse y en fotografía de paisaje puede ser una gran aliada si la usamos con intención y criterio. No sustituye nuestra sensibilidad ni nuestra creatividad: son herramientas que pueden ayudarnos a llegar más lejos, pero la visión sigue siendo nuestra.

[ Viewfinder TV ] 17 พ.ค.68

It isn't always intentional that the stories we bring together in our daily newsletter draw connections. But here's an interesting commonality between a story by Erika Page about artificial intelligence and the Viewfinder image of pigeons: According to studies from the University of Iowa, the birds that flock our public squares can learn to identify patterns the same way large language models do. Today's stories also include U.S. agencies pushing back on DOGE and whether US students can help solve Florence's tourist problem. Join the Monitor's Kurt Shillinger for today's news.

HT2192 - Monochrome Viewfinder As a lifetime black and white photographer, I have to admit that I do not see in black and white. Some photographers have that uncanny skill, but I simply don't. I need help to see in black and white. I used to use the Fred Picker monochrome viewing filter, but now I just set my cameras to monochrome in my viewfinder.

We live in a violent and complex world—wars, mass migrations, cartel violence, climate disasters, and pandemics shape our daily reality. Yet, despite constant exposure to brutality, many of us still feel appalled, angered, and outraged. That's due in large part to journalists who bring these stories to light—not to shock, but to deepen our understanding of the world as it truly is. Fabio Bucciarelli is one of them. A world-class photojournalist and storyteller, he documents some of the most dangerous places on Earth. Listen as he shares what drives him to keep returning to the front lines, capturing the stories that must be told.

Wicked movie director Jon M. Chu joins The Art of Kindness podcast with Robert Peterpaul to discuss being a kind leader on set, acts of kindness from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, his spellbinding memoir Viewfinder and more. Rejoicify - this is a thought-provoking chat filled with STAR-studded surprise guests! Jon M. Chu is known for his visually stunning blockbuster films, as well as his kinetic work across various genres from groundbreaking series to commercials and films. Additionally, his unique storytelling ability has earned him the honor of inclusion on the Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 list as well as Variety's New Hollywood Leaders. Most recently, Chu directed Universal Pictures' critically acclaimed WICKED, starring Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Part 1 of the feature-film adaptation of the record-breaking musical phenomenon released in theaters on November 22 and quickly became a box-office hit, becoming the highest-grossing Broadway adaption in domestic box office history in its second week earning over $350 million globally. His memoir, Viewfinder, is his journey from growing up in the Silicon Valley to transitioning to Hollywood and helming major studio projects, released Summer 2024. The book is an uplifting tale of belonging, creativity and learning to see who you truly are. His recent projects include the critically acclaimed adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical IN THE HEIGHTS for Warner Bros. Studios as well as the worldwide phenomenon CRAZY RICH ASIANS, which was nominated for numerous awards, including a SAG Award, a Golden Globe and PGA Award. It is one of the top 10 highest grossing romantic comedies of all time and the highest in a decade. It was also the first contemporary studio picture in more than 25 years to feature an all-Asian cast and opened a new chapter in Asian-American representation in Hollywood. Chu is in post-production on WICKED: PART TWO, which is set to release on November 21, 2025, and is attached to develop to direct the highly anticipated biopic for Britney Spears based on her memoir, The Woman in Me, with Universal. He is also in development on Dr. Seuss' OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! with Warner Bros and JJ Abrams' Bad Robot, which will be his first animated film. His previous films include GI. JOE: RETALIATION, NOW YOU SEE ME 2, JUSTIN BIEBER'S NEVER SAY NEVER and many more representing over 1.3 billion dollars in the worldwide box office. Thank you to Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh and Simon Hayes for the special surprise, and to Welcome to Times Square for supporting our Big Apple dreams.

Jon M. Chu is a visionary director known for his blockbuster films like ‘Crazy Rich Asians,' ‘In The Heights' and the hugely anticipated movie musical ‘Wicked.'  He sits down with Jenna Bush Hager to discuss how he welcomed his daughter on the movie's premiere day, and what it was like to turn the lens on his own life and work in his memoir ‘Viewfinder.'  Chu also reveals how he discovered the story of “Wicked” before it became a Broadway hit and what it means to him to reimagine this iconic American story as a son of immigrants. 

Jon Chu grew up in Silicon Valley, in the shadow of Apple Park. His father, Chef Chu, still runs his eponymous restaurant there, and Jon worshiped Steve Jobs as a kid. As a teen, he used Apple products to learn how to make movies. Now he directs some of the biggest movies in Hollywood, but his relationship with the tech industry is much more complex.  Kara and Jon discuss his “new view” trilogy: Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights, and his latest film, Wicked. They unpack his memoir Viewfinder, and Chu explains how growing up in Silicon Valley shaped his understanding of technology — and how the industry's switch towards data surveillance has changed his relationship with it as an artist.  Questions?
