Siberian Irises at Rabbie Burns’ Cottage — FOTD Jul 23
Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

Some more Siberian irises from the gardens at Rabbie Burns’ Cottage.
As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

For today, I’ve done some cumulative transformations based on the Scots Baronial-style architecture. I’ve started off with a basic setting change, then added into the prompt a nighttime winter setting & finally, dawn with the sun’s first rays starting to melt the frost on the irises… enjoy
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.

Cold Winter’s Sun Illuminates Empty Playpark

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

Empty playpark

I decided to transform this into a watercolour using Hot Mods. I went through several prompt amendments to get the end result I was after.

I liked this first attempt, but wanted some evergreens in thew picture.

Again, a good outcome, but a touch on the vibrant side, & the original was a cloudless sky.

Getting closer, a softer light from the sun & back to the original cloudless sky, but the sun is now sitting too high above the horizon; one more go…

…finally, a lower sun casts longer shadows of an empty playpark on a cold winter’s day.

Dawn’s Orange Glow Infuses Wintery Skies

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

I decided to do some AI Artwork from this image. First up is a watercolour of the scene.

Next up, I decided to combine the original image with the #6WS title as the prompt. I also specified the addition of cirrus clouds & the removal of the buildings; it was quite a vivid outcome.

Next up was a transformation of the above picture as a watercolour to soften the image.

Dawn’ Soft Glow Through Winter Trees

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

Dawn through winter trees

I thought I’d try a couple of AI mods for the above image. First, I simply used the #6WS title as the prompt but also instructed the AI to style it as a watercolour. The AI really picked up on the wintry theme & added snow to the image.

Re-imagined wintry path in watercolour

For the second, I simply transformed the image into a watercolour.
