    Susan and I will be taking a short break to celebrate our anniversaryWe’ll be away for a couple of weeks, but don’t worry, Fan Of… will be back on May 27th with even more exciting AI-powered Lensy re-imaginings. We can’t wait to reconnect with all of you then

    Have a great couple of weeks & see you on the 27th

    Again, this post was inspired by Elke’s Fan Of… Deadheads. Last week’s Fan Of… Daffodil Walk was a gallery of daffs still going strong; after a couple of weeks & the daffs on the walk were all starting to wilt & had been munched on by various wildlife. Enjoy the carousel below

    This is also my post for Cee’s FOTD, & as all these pictures were taken with my iPhone SE, it is my post for John’s Cellpic Sunday.

    Join me again next week for some homemade biscuits?

    This post was inspired by Elke’s Fan Of… Deadheads, which was posted last week; the daffs around here are still going strong, so I thought I’d share some with you

    This last week, Susan & I went for a wee walk to stretch our legs & spent more time photographing the daffodils along the way.

    This is also my post for Cee’s FOTD, & as all these pictures were taken with my iPhone SE, it is my post for John’s Cellpic Sunday.

    Snowdrops -A Bit of an Obsession with AI Artwork in my Fan Of… Series

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

    This week, some snowdrops get the Hot Mods treatment.

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

    I started off with a very basic picture of some snowdrops & let my inner chimp’s (Godfrey) imagination run crazy; this is the baseline picture.

    My first idea was to have the snowdrops in an ornate frame but seeming to grow out of it.

    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.

    Lensball shot of Clackmannan Bridge

    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…
