Hi All 👋 Feel free to join this weekly challenge whenever you think, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).

This is also my post for Terri’s Sunday Stills: Editing.

This time, Lensy’s getting the Hot Mods treatment.

FROM REAL PHOTOS TO COLLABORATIVE AI ARTWORK: MY EXPERIMENT WITH AI ART

I used this shot of the Clackmannan Bridge as my baseline shot for my first re-imagining.

My idea for this shot was to have a dragon guarding the bridge.

I wasn’t specific enough in the prompt about Lensy, so the AI removed him from the image; back to the prompt

My next shots are variations of modifications to Lensy sat on a mossy branch.

I was going for an enchanted forest setting with runic symbols/glyphs. I was happy withy the outcome for these.

Next up, Alloa Tower House gets the Hot Mod treatment.

Again, staying with the mystical/enchanted theme.

Clackmannan Tower gets a similar treatment.

For these, I was trying for a fusion of old & futuristic. I designed the prompt so that the image inside Lensy was an old-style, mystical tower, whilst outside was a futuristic world.

The first re-imagining combined old/futuristic within the lensball, so back to the prompt. The others came out pretty well.

THE EVOLVING ART OF PROMPT ENGINEERING IN AI-GENERATED ARTWORK

Prompt engineering is an evolving function; for the same prompt, you will get different outputs from different photos. The prompt needs to be tweaked constantly to fit the original photo & the desired outcome. So, join me over the next few weeks as I delve further into the world of prompt engineering & artwork manipulation.

Come back next week to see how a simple shot of some snowdrops…

…led to a tottie wee bit of an obsession & the following end result.
