I frequently bemoan that I am no longer doing much photography, but I have another phone pic today, along with some editing in Photoshop. (I had a few posts in the queue and this was supposed to have been posted before yesterdays blog, which also contained photos.)
About twice a year, we take heavier loads to the laundromat so as not to overburden our own washing machine. This time it was to wash floor mats.
While Sue waited inside, I went out to sit in the car. I looked up and saw a vintage car in a driveway just across the road.
I ambled over with my phone.

| The hood was up, and I saw that the hobbyist was installing quite a modern-looking engine. |
Back home on the computer, I wondered if I could use AI to change the surroundings. After selecting the car I asked for a field of daisies to be placed around it. While I had pictured something different, this works for me.

| Never look to closely when I do stuff like this because I don't get into the painstaking details, so the shadows are wrong and perhaps other things too. I am just experimenting and am happy to have accomplished what I have. |
As I often do, I also made a mono conversion. I think that was the best result on this occasion.
At least I am keeping my hand in the hobby to some degree.
Wow, that is interesting how you can 'imagine' and ask for a different background like that!
ReplyDeleteI really like it!
Experimenting with AI looks like it might be fun!
ReplyDeleteYou are becoming an AI master. I do like your choice of car with field of daisies.
ReplyDeleteSure looks good in that field of daisies. Great job if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember how awed photoshop made me! I like all these photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool car. I wonder what make and model it is. Fun stuff with the AI.
ReplyDeleteWow, AI is an amazing tool in photography it seems…..my AI foray has been mostly looking at how it can write. Both forms are a bit scary to think about.
ReplyDeleteWell, good for you for using AI. It's something which I know little about.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I love best about that last picture? It's in keeping with the age of the car, if you get me. It's as if I am looking at a car from the 1940s (wild guess) in a picture taken at that time. The black and white also mutes the rust and damage. It looks new again.
ReplyDeleteI love the daisies, especially in black and white.
ReplyDeleteInteresting…. I do not recognize that vehicle, even though I am pretty decent at knowing most makes and models (a caveat I guess would be I mean from the 1950s to the present). Do you know what the make/model/year is of that beast? I am guessing it must be a late 40s vehicle of some sort, but I really do not know.

The vehicle ALMOST looks like a badly done AI generation of a VW Beetle. :)

In this case I actually like the B&W best. You are really good in photoshop.
ReplyDeleteYes I join in preferring the B&W. Colours can distract
ReplyDeleteI especially like the juxtaposition of the tires.

ReplyDeleteI am taking a 4-week break from photography so far. Just to heal my thigh. It might not be a bad thing
You are amazing! I love the work you do.
ReplyDeleteThat works beautifully! And I remember cars like that.
ReplyDeleteThe monochrome one was my favorite as well, AC. Since I know nothing about using AI with photo images, could you perhaps do a post in the future on the process it seems there are several others interested as well, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh I disagree about which one is best ... it's the color version for me! Astounding, AC! Beautiful work. xoxo
