His poem inspired me to try & visualise the scene he set using my own pictures & AI prompt engineering in DALL-E (ChatGPT). These are my baseline pictures.
I then generated this image by combining these images, Hammad’s brilliant poem, and my own prompts.
Whispering secrets to the sand
I say eventually because there were many prompt rewrites to get the image to match what I saw in Hammad’s words. In the carousel below are a few of the images that, whilst good, do not quite fit what was conjured in my own mind.

For this week’s challenge, I used three different baseline shots. These were taken at the Kelvingrove Museum & The Burrel Collection at Pollock Country Park.
The first prompt came out really well & I’m using the resulting picture as my entry for this week.
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.

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…
