    Impressionism Style Enchanted Hydrangeas — FOTD Jul 03

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

    WoohooCee’s back

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    For today, I’ve done an impressionism-style edit. This is fast becoming one of my favourite styles, softening the look of the picture & creating an almost enchanted backdrop

    If you follow my blog, you know I’m currently working on a project fusing my photography with AI creativity. For more on my journey with AI, check out my Fan Of… series, the latest of which is a reimagining of some lensball shots.

    A couple of shots of Loch Lomond & The Maid of the Loch

    • Maid of the Loch

    I did some AI transformations of the Loch & paddle steamer (see carousel). In all the transformations, it’s mainly the Maid of the Loch & foreground that has been transformed & the background mountains left very natural (apart from the 1st Art Deco one). The styles are Steampunk, Cyberpunk, Art Deco & Baroque.

    I think my favourite transformations are the Art Deco ones, particularly the first, for their elegance & simplicity; what about you?

    Fantasy Transformation: Pink Rhododendrons in Galaxy Background — FOTD Jul 02

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

    With Cee recuperating, I’ll be posting flowers daily to give her a bit of floral delight (my version of a bouquet)

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    For today, I’ve done a star-style edit. This is meant to re-draw the picture in stars, but the complexity of the original image means that it hasn’t quite worked. Instead, the rhododendrons have been kept as they are in the original, but the background & path have been turned into galaxies; I actually really like this effect & it looks like one my own fantasy transformations

    Discover the Vibrant Yellow Azaleas in a Sci-fi World — FOTD Jul 01

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

    Happy Julylet’s start off with a cheerful yellow azalea bush

    For today, I’ve done a sci-fi-style edit. For me, the colours of this vibrant azalea matched well with the blue neon of the sci-fi world

    Next to the Azaleas– Pull Up a Seat Wk #26

    Hi All 👋 My entry for Xingfumama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge.

    This bench is in the Burns (Rabbie Burns) Monument & Memorial Garden next to a vibrant azalea bush that seems intent on claiming it as its own. I’ll be featuring some more benches from this Garden in the future.

    I thought I’d do a few Hot Mods edits for this bench.
