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.

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.

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words.
Thank you for sharing your photo from your day with the family. Please share more from your next adventure!
Thank you! I will!
Fair enough. Just be careful and remember your phone does that.
I was just reading about how to turn it off. It seems like people say to turn on RAW images, but I think that will take up a lot more space? Idk, I haven’t tried it yet.
It will take more space, and pictures very zoomed in will look pixelated and noisy. Phones and modern digital cameras do a lot of heavy processing on pictures to make them more attractive. They all do it, heck our brain does it too in everyday life, what we see is not what hits our retina. There’s no such thing as pure photography, even during the film era there was a lot of alteration that came with the choice of film and other camera settings. Ignore the Luddite purists, even the most advanced professional cameras do a lot of post-processing even if they do finally save the image to RAW. If the picture looks nice, then it looks nice. The Pixel got creative to fill in pixels it doesn’t have to make the picture nice, any other camera would have crapped out and given you a blurry and muddy mess.
Thanks, I feel the same way.
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.
