    Holly & Berries: FOTD Dec 25 with Magical AI Artistry

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

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

    In honour of today, I thought I’d add in some magical & Christmas elements to this holly & berries shot.

    Any of you following my blog, will know I’m currently working on a project fusing my own photography with AI creativity. For more on my journey with AI, check out my Fan Of… series: https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2023/12/11/from-photos-to-fantasies-exploring-ai-art-manipulation-in-my-fan-of-series

    I’m keeping my AI creativity a bit more simple as we go through silly season in the retail world — there just isn’t the time to devote to prompt engineering. The next series of AI artwork will feature magical enhancements to the flower picture.

    Seasons Greetings

    Hi All 👋 With an increased workload over the next couple of weeks (some unexpected), I’ll be taking a wee break from my Fan Of… & WWE series. Both will return on 08 Jan 2024.

    I’ll still be around with occasional posts & of course, my contributions to Cee’s FOTD with magical AI Artwork.

    Here are some AI artwork images I worked on from an original shot of a steam locomotive; I had to go with a seasonal theme

    For the first two pictures, I went for a more futuristic-looking train based on the locomotive; the first is a real blend of modern & old, almost as if the engine is morphing from new to old as it moves along. The second, when I added more elements to the prompt, came up with a train than looks like the famous Japanese Shinkansen. For the third, I styled it as more of a cartoon image.

    Happy holidays & I hope you all have a great New Year & an even better 2024
