    Rugosa Rose — FOTD Jun 19

    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 solar punk transformation.

    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.

    Speedy Snail — Monday Portrait Jun 17

    This is a fun challenge that no one hosts, so if you want to participate, just post a photo.

    I got a couple of shots of this snail at ground level; it seemed appropriate to add in some AI-generated motion blur to get the wee guy where he’s going

  • Inspired By Hammad’s Transcendent Poetry — Water Water Everywhere #224

    Inspired By Hammad’s Transcendent Poetry — Water Water Everywhere #224

    Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in whenever you have a water picture to post (any type of water, in any state, will do). See below for how to join the fun

    This WWE was inspired by Hammad’s poem in his WWE post: Tranquil Sigh.

    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
    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.

    How To Join In

    1. Create a Water Water Everywhere Photo Post.
    2. Add a link to your WWE blog post in my comment box, or create a pingback by linking to my post.
    3. Title your post Water Water Everywhere or add WWE tag.

    Hae a guid week 😁
