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.

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.

Firstly, I would like to apologise for not being able to interact with your posts this weekMy two-day, sixteen-hour work schedule unexpectedly turned into a five-day, 40+ hour marathonI hope to catch up with all your posts this week

I know this week was meant to be more re-imaginings of the Bo’ness & Kinneil Steam Locomotive, but I went a different route

This week’s Fan Of… #236 Susan’s Spies, Lies & Digital Skies Digital Art Challenge

This week’s Fan Of… #235 is images that didn’t make my post for Susan’s Spies, Lies & Digital Skies: Clandestine Meeting.

One of my thoughts was to have the clandestine meeting down at the docks; this is the original image I shot & used as the basis of my prompt engineering.

Last week was the Glenlee; this week, I’m working on the old Steam Locomotive that runs out of Bo’ness Station.

This is the original image I shot & used for the basis of my prompt engineering.
