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.

A couple of days ago, I did a post based on an idea by my wife — a floral fountain. This was to imagine a fountain with flowers taking the place of water. The end result was good but not quite what she envisaged, so back to prompt engineering to get the desired effect.

I used some new bouquet images and one of my shots of the Doulton Fountain in Glasgow as the baseline for the project.

The images below fit Susan’s description. I’m currently working on another post about the floral fountain, where I’ll share more about the journey through prompt engineering to get the right look. Between the concept and the end result, there were about 2 hours of continuous adjustment and 10 iterations.

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.
