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

    I am delving into my archives for warm, sunny shots during these dreich days.

  • Lensball Shots Re-Imagined As AI Artwork in my  Fan Of… Series #1

    Lensball Shots Re-Imagined As AI Artwork in my Fan Of… Series #1

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

    It’s my birthday at the end of the week, so I’ll be taking a wee break. Fan Of… will return on the 26th of February.

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

    The inspiration — Exploring the World of AI-Generated Artwork: My Journey in the ‘Fan Of…’ Challenge

    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.

    For more about AI in the creative world, visit Susan’s site & in particular, the series of posts that she’s writing: Post 1 & Post 2.

    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.

    The first re-imagining is Lensy in an enchanted forest with a dragon that can only be seen through him.

    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

    And 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.
