Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

Although Cee’s taking a much-deserved break, I’m keeping my FOTD posts going as I explore further with flowers in Hot Mods. Looking forward to Cee’s return in February

I am delving into my archives for warm, sunny shots during these frosty days.

Any of you following my blog will know I’m currently working on a project fusing my own photography with AI creativity. For more on my journey with AI, check out my Fan Of… series, the latest being a re-imagining of an old Steam Locomotive.

I’m keeping my AI creativity a bit more simple as we go through silly season in the retail world — there just isn’t the time to devote to prompt engineering. The next series of AI artwork will feature magical enhancements to the flower picture.

I’ve used Hot Mods to transform the original picture into a scene of a buttercup meadow set in a mountain valley surrounded by trees. The second image has been further enhanced to look like a watercolour.
