    Moving Water for Water Water Everywhere #215 & Lens-Artists Challenge

    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 is also my post for Sofia’s Lens-Artists Challenge: Water In Motion.

    For this challenge of water in motion, I thought I’d look at some obvious and less obvious forms of movement.

    So, I’m starting this post with water that is put in motion by others. This first shot is the Falkirk Wheel, a boat lift that essential is a section of canal that is rotated from the lower canal to the upper. In the shot, on the left of the wheel, you can see a canal boat sat in the closed off section as it is lifted up.

    In the Capital — Weekend Sky #121

    Hi All 👋 My latest entry for Hammad’s Weekend Sky Challenge.

    This early morning shot was during an unplanned overnight stay in Edinburgh??????

    I also transformed the image into a watercolour? In the prompt, I specified the location as being Edinburgh. Giving the AI a location does change the outcome of the transformation.

    The following picture uses the same baseline shot as above but without specifying the location. The transformation into a cityscape just after dawn is good, but the architecture is generic; the AI has picked up the older style architecture well from the initial image.
