I am delving into my archives for warm, sunny shots during these windy days.
Carnations
When I first ran the above image through Hot Mods, I didn’t mention the fence in the prompt & so it was excluded from the AI image. I revisited the prompt to add the fence in. I also added a drop of AI magic dust to these beautiful wee?flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolour

This is the same picture I used for yesterday’s FOTD, but this time, I was able to import the baseline image into Hot Mods. I’ve done a comparison so that you can see the difference between prompt engineering with no starting image & starting image. I also added a drop of AI magic dust to these beautiful wee?flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolour

As you can see from above, when I used the baseline image, I didn’t stipulate in the prompt to keep the fence in; come back tomorrow when the AI image has been altered with the fence.

The function in Hot Mods where you can import photos & change them was not working so I had to use my powers of description to set the scene with the bouquet above. I also added a drop of AI magic dust to these beautiful wee?flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolour
Tomorrow, I’ll use the same flowers in Hot Mods & alter them through prompt engineering.

Hi All 👋 Feel free to join this weekly challenge whenever you think, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).
Finally, it’s here, more AI-assisted re-imaginings of an old steam train. This week’s Fan Of… #237 is AI-assisted artwork featuring the Bo’ness Steam Locomotive. This old steam locomotive runs a short tourist route out of Bo’ness Station to Kinneil on the southern shores of the Firth of Forth. Bo’ness Station is also home to the Museum of Scottish Railways.

Probably, most of you are wondering why AI; it all comes down to the time of year. Here in Scotland, daylight hours in winter are pretty much between 0900 & 1500 & unless you get one of those bright, clear days. The weather can best be described as dreich (those grey, miserable, wet days) where the light is not so great. Don’t get me wrong, If there’s something worth photographing, I’ll happily be out in the worst of weather?
I also work in retail; this sees an increase in work hours & very little chance to get out with Snappy. The end result is that I can feel my creativity start to wane; not being able to get out with my camera certainly puts a dampener on the creative spirit — & so over to AI & Hot Mods.

This form of AI artwork allows me to use my own photography as a basis for AI prompt engineering. In all my Fan Of… posts about AI creativity, I’ll show the original image & then the various outputs from Hot Mods as I work with the AI to create new artwork.
As you’ll see from these posts, the expected output is not always what I wanted (I’ll share these as well), so I’m back to rewriting the prompt.
This is the original image I shot & used as the basis of my prompt engineering.

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
