    Viewed From Above — Lens-Artists Challenge #291

    Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Patti: Cityscapes.

    Often I see cityscapes from ground level, amongst the maze of hustle & bustle; it’s often refreshing to get above it all for a different view.

    These first shots are of Los Angeles, seen from the Griffith Observatory.

    I added a drop of AI magic dust to these vibrant wee flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolourAs mentioned yesterday, the AI was having an issue with the name so I used the alternative name, Knautia Arvensis, to run the modification; the outcome was quite different.

    I added a drop of AI magic dust to these vibrant wee flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolourThe AI was having an issue with the name so this was done as a modification without naming the flower. As you can see, the flower is quite generic & not really that similar to the original. Come back tomorrow to see the transformation using the name in the prompt.

    Hacks The Way To Do It– Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Hacking.

    I used a couple of baseline photos for this challenge.

    So over to Hot Mods & away we go. The very first prompt came out pretty well.

    I wanted the guy to be more sneaky-looking, so I told the AI to put his hood up to hide his face; this came out really well.

    So basically, job doneBut why stop there; let’s steampunk it!

    Now, that’s cool, but whilst we’re at it, let’s try cyber-punk.

    Again, love the outcome, particularly the control orb he’s using to do the hack. Now, let’s blend steampunk & cyber-punk.

    Awesome, but where nextI know, how about mythical, with a wizard doing the hack
