Ae praise day
Today, July 16, Ae praise dayWell, at least it is according to the AI Heart LLC, the company that invented this “holiday” in 2021. Its purpose is a day to accept the positive impact on society, as well as promote discussion about morality and AI’s responsible development.
While we recognize AI’s ability to revolutionize areas from healthcare to scientific research, we are slightly more uncomfortable about the flood of AI-borne imagination, most of which are based on training using photographs taken by real humans, usually without their permission.
While we are not going to bring that particular genie back into the bottle, we have really decided to celebrate AI Prasad Day by appreciating something: showcasing Real By Real Photographer in the DPREVIEW community. These photos highlight our favorite images Editors’ photo challenge Series in 2025. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.
Oh, and we would be Rimis if we fail to mention that July 16 is Corn Freightrs Day, National Personal Chef Day and National Hot Dog Day. Just if you need an excuse to celebrate.

Very big jump

Secret oasis
 |
Challenge theme: chasing summers
Photographer: Giampier
Description: It was one of those July afternoon when the air is still more heavy, and the sun burns your skin. The city seemed to be slipping under the oppressive heat. For three young friends, boredom was about to handle boredom, until their parents bring them to a park, with a mystery. First, it was a way like any other, which was rolled with a wooden fence and topped by a pergola of climbing plants. But then, such as magic, a thick, calm cloud started descending from the paragola. It was a tunnel of mist. This picture catchs the exact moment when shyness turns into pure bliss. After a brief moment of hesitation, one of them darted, and others chased without another idea. They are running not only to get relief from the heat, but also to cross one portal into another world.

Challenge theme: Water
Photographer: Cliff Connell
Description: Autumn 2011, on one of the last hot days in 2011, just before our southern Australian Easter was swollen, I had finished a long session of surfing some very large, clean waves, when I decided to return to catch some of the rest of the water shots of the rest of the crew. Most of the shots I received that morning were very average, except that a young man diving under the closed-out section of a 5-6-foot wave. This made my day!
