Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Leya: Circular Wonders.
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to join in with the LAPC; hopefully, I won’t go overboard (no promises).
I’m starting off with some architectural circles in Glasgow. The first is the roof of Kibble Palace, then the Templeton Building & the staircase in the Lighthouse.
I did a watercolour transformation of this shot using Hot Mods.
Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Leya: Magical.
For me, nature needs nothing added to it for that magical touch; simply a new day, golden sun & a hint of mist to soften the reflections & scene.
I am currently embarking on a new creative project based on my photography, & the use of AI to generate re-imaginings of some of my shots. You can follow my progress in my Fan Of… series (my first AI post here: https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2023/12/11/from-photos-to-fantasies-exploring-ai-art-manipulation-in-my-fan-of-series/), as I tackle prompt engineering within Hot Mods, a function of ChatGPT.
Having seen my first post, Bushboy mentioned Lensy featuring; a shot of him was my very first go at prompt engineering. The original shot is of Lensy sat on a mossy branch in a wooded glade with the low winters sun coming through a break in the trees. As this was my first prompt, it is at it’s most basic & I simply told the AI to make the scene mystical. Below are the original & the re-imagining.
More lensball re-imaginings will feature in the coming weeks.
Hi All 👋 Feel free to join this weekly challenge whenever you think, “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).
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.
Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Patti: Empty Spaces.
I thought I’d go with a seasonal theme for Patti’s challenge; snowy landscapes seem like an excellent response for “empty spaces”. We’ve had no snow as yet, but with temperatures not getting above 0?, winter is undoubtedly here
