    From Photos to Fantasies: Exploring AI Art Manipulation in my Fan Of… Series

    Hi All 👋 Feel free to join this weekly challenge whenever you think, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).

    The inspiration — Exploring the World of AI-Generated Artwork: My Journey in the ‘Fan Of…’ Challenge

    My wife, Susan, recently used a function within the paid version of ChatGPT called Hot Mods (to help mock up cover designs for the book she’s currently working on) to enhance one of her pictures of the Kelpies.

    To learn more about ChatGPT & the use of AI as a writing assistant, have a read of this awesome post by Susan: Revolutionising Writing with AI: My Journey Begins. In her post she describes how AI has allowed her to work whilst suffering from CRPS, & how she has engineered ChatGPT to work as her assistant.

    Below is her original shot & the subsequent re-imagining based on her prompts.

    Seeing Double — Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #207

    Hi All 👋 The crazy moderators at LAPC have given me the honour of hosting this week’s challenge.

    Seeing double is all about reflections—probably one of my biggest photographic obsessions. I tend to see them everywhere & actively seek them out when they’re not readily apparent. My reflection hunting started shortly after I got Snappy, my DSLR, 12 years ago with some poolside reflections.

    This shot shows reflections of objects not seen in the picture, in this case, Malibu’s Serra Hills behind the house.
