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

    This was a very quick transformation in the motion blur style;? watch out, speeding primroses??

    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.

  • Autumn Song — Lens-Artists Challenge #297

    Autumn Song — Lens-Artists Challenge #297

    Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Egidio: Music to my eyes.

    Now, this was a real tester; I didn’t think I would have anything to contribute to Egidio’s prompt.

    I don’t really associate music with my pictures apart from one particular song that has stuck with me all my life. I first heard the song “Forever Autumn” by Justin Hayward as a young child & whenever I see autumnal scenes, the song plays in my mind.

    To that end, I’ve concentrated on the one song & imagery that I associate with it.

    Autumn
    Autumn

    The song is from the 1978 Jeff Wayne adaptation of War of the Worlds & is about the main character reminiscing about how he & his wife used to kick through the autumn leafs in a passed time.

    Dancing Tulip — FOTD Apr 29

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

    This tulip in a wee bottle in the window has lost its petals; unlike the other flowers that had dropped them completely, these were still hanging on like a skirt

    I did a watercolour transformation through Hot Mods that came out really well.

    Next up is a Baroque-style transformation, which brings an over-the-top, grandiose feeling to the scene.

    I then re-imagined the Baroque scene as a watercolour; it looks a lot like Venice.

    I finally went a bit crazy & added Cyberpunk elements to the Baroque-style architecture.

    This was a very quick transformation in the origami style. I really like the 3D effect of this style
