    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.

    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.

  • Treasured Memories at the Beach — Lens-Artists Challenge #206

    Treasured Memories at the Beach — Lens-Artists Challenge #206

    Hi All 👋 My entry for this weeks challenge, set by Aletta from nowathome: Treasures; this is also my entry for Terri’s Sunday Stills.

    A lot of my treasured memories are time spent at the beach with my wife, Susan. We met whilst both on meteorological courses in the Navy, at Culdrose in Cornwall. We both have an affinity for the sea & spent alot of time walking or body-boarding at the many beaches. This first set of beaches are at Malibu & Santa Monica from 12 years ago when we spent a month there after I retired from the Navy.
