    I did a watercolour transformation through Hot Mods that came out really well.

    Next up is a Baroque-style transformation, which brings an over-the-top, grandiose feeling to the scene.

    I then re-imagined the Baroque scene as a watercolour; it looks a lot like Venice.

    I finally went a bit crazy & added Cyberpunk elements to the Baroque-style architecture.

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

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    This was a very quick transformation in the origami style. I really like the 3D effect of this style

    If you follow my blog, you know I’m currently working on a project fusing my photography with AI creativity. For more on my journey with AI, check out my Fan Of… series, the latest of which is a reimagining of some lensball shots.

    Breaking Through — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies & CWWC

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Ambush in a Shadowy Forest.

    As this involves an ambush on a track through a forest, this is also my post for Cee’s Which Way Challenge.

    This was quite a simple one & required only one baseline photo to base my prompt on in Hot Mods.

    This first attempt came out really well. It shows a dispatch rider breaking through an ambush in a forest.

    I decided to also winterise the scene & added a sidecar to the bike.

    As usual, I could have stopped here, but where’s the fun in thatNext up is a cyberpunk-style image, as seen through the scope of a sniper following the action; this one’s my definite favourite.

    My next favourite is this abstract-style re-imagining of the scene.

    As usual, there were many different runs in different styles, including the ambush being viewed from a command centre. Enjoy these in the carousel below

    One other picture I really liked was this Baroque-style one; the bike looks really ornate & cool.

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    This was a very quick transformation in the Fish-Eye Lens style. Both have captured the raindrops really well, but I prefer the second picture as you can see the flowers in the background

    Hidden in the Woods — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Hidden Safe House.

    Okay, so this one became a bit of an epic as one idea led to another. I ended up with three different scenarios, & thus, three different baseline images.

    I’m starting out with the safe house in a wood scenario. The following is a photo from an old WWII military site at Elie, Fife.
