    Swan Family — Thursday Trios

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Mama Cormier’s Thursday Trios.

    I took these shots of two adult swans & their juvenile at Straiton Pond, just outside of Edinburgh.

    I did a couple of watercolour transformations. In the first, I didn’t specify the number of swans or mention their ages; in the second, I told the AI that there were two adults and one juvenile swan.

    Hi All 👋 My entry for Debbie’s Six Word Saturday.

    I was going to apologise for this, but I’m not sorry in the slightest

    I also transformed this into a watercolour?

    Carnations: FOTD Feb 10 with AI Artistry

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

    I am delving into my archives for warm, sunny shots during these windy days.

    When I first ran the above image through Hot Mods, I didn’t mention the fence in the prompt & so it was excluded from the AI image. I revisited the prompt to add the fence in. I also added a drop of AI magic dust to these beautiful wee?flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolour

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

    I am delving into my archives for warm, sunny shots during these windy days.

    This is the same picture I used for yesterday’s FOTD, but this time, I was able to import the baseline image into Hot Mods. I’ve done a comparison so that you can see the difference between prompt engineering with no starting image & starting image. I also added a drop of AI magic dust to these beautiful wee?flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolour

    And as a watercolour?

    As you can see from above, when I used the baseline image, I didn’t stipulate in the prompt to keep the fence in; come back tomorrow when the AI image has been altered with the fence.

    The function in Hot Mods where you can import photos & change them was not working so I had to use my powers of description to set the scene with the bouquet above. I also added a drop of AI magic dust to these beautiful wee?flowers & also re-imagined the image as a watercolour

    Tomorrow, I’ll use the same flowers in Hot Mods & alter them through prompt engineering.

  • Storm Damage — Cellpic Sunday

    Storm Damage — Cellpic Sunday

    Hi All 👋 This is my latest post for John’s Cellpic Sunday.

    This is just across the road from where we stay. I did these shots with the phone inverted so that the camera lens was close to the ground for a ground-level perspective. I’d found a wee twig on the path that I could rest the phone on. The focal point can be altered by leaning the phone away from you or back towards you.

    In this first shot, I tilted the phone toward the ground slightly so that nearer objects, like the twig, come into focus & the background is blurred.

    For this second shot, I tilted the phone back towards me a wee bit so that the background came into focus.
