AI-generated mobile wallpapers

AI-generated

I did not though creating images using AI would be so much fun. Just entering what one wants to see and getting a result. No limits to one’s imagination. Too bad there is no way to specify things like composition at all. But probably in the future. The results are not really always what I imagined.

Mobile wallpapers

While experimenting I created quite a few that are very suitable for mobile phone wallpapers, all 1:2 aspect ratio, 2000x4000px. Should be good enough for almost all phones available. They especially look good on OLED screens. Since there are a lot of them, I decided not to post them directly here, but in a separate gallery on my portfolio page. You can find them here.

Master Exposure Blending series now free

Master Exposure Blending series now free

A while ago (actually quite a long while ago) I created and started selling a video tutorial series about HDR editing and luminosity masking. After a while, I decided to upload it whole for free, but somehow never got to doing so. But that changes today.

Content

The series includes over 2 hours of video, covering these toppics

1. Welcome
2. Preparing brackets in Lightroom
3. Working with layers and layer masks
4. Luminance masks explained
5. Creating luminance masks
6. Blending two exposures
7. Blending multiple exposures
8. Using Oloneo Photoengine
9. Using Photomatix Pro
10. Blending panoramic photos
11. Adding glow

I don’t go through the edit from start to finish on the provided photos, I rather focus on the blending technique of the images, which is the main subject of these videos.

Additionally, you can download all the videos and also the RAW files I’m using (28 in total), so you can try all the edits also for yourself.

Head over to the Master Exposure Blending page to get them now!

AI-generated art

I have been playing around with AI-generated images in Midjourney recently, and I thought I share some with you. I wont be doing that mostly on this blog, as I would like to keep to photography here. But there is a new category under wallpapers here, AI-Generated wallpapers, and I also created a new Twitter account @hdrshooter-ai, where I will be sharing them. Feel free to follow me there.

Don’t forget to check out other available wallpapers:

4K wallpapers – Single Screen – Surface, 21:9 and dual-screen – Super ultra-wide – Mobile – AI-generated

32:9 and 4K walllpapers

And for the wallpapers I already shared, you can get them here. There are some in 32:9 (3440×1440) and standard 4K 21:9 (3840×2160) resolution.
