The mother Giraffe was being very affectionate and rubbing her face on the young giraffe. I just kept snapping photos until I got this one, where they looked like they were sharing a special moment together.

      Shitty phones like huawei are marketing 100mpx cameras using a 5mpx sensor and then use some software crap to upscale the images and everything ends up looking like what you see. It was the precursor of ai generated images as they were using some every similar technology

      It’s real. Taken with my Pixel 7. I wouldn’t even know how to generate photos with AI. I have never looked into it.

        Dude. Zoom in on that photo you posted – I think your phone used some kind of scripting to mess with the image.

        You need to go buy a separate camera.

          I guess I see it when I zoom on the grass. But it’s probably because I was zoomed like x6 when I took the photo in the first place, and the phone filled it in.

          But honestly, it doesn’t take away from my enjoyment of this photo. I don’t enjoy photos by zooming in on the grass. I’m just looking at it on my phone and it looks nice. :)

          Maybe if I took photos more than once a year I would consider buying a camera, but this was just a case of going to a place with my family and snapping a photo for fun.

          The Pixel series has a ton of postprocessing integrated into the photography. It usually results in something people find eye-popping, but I suppose this is the inevitable result when it sees something unfamiliar.
