Critique my photos

Interested to hear some feedback on some photos. Be brutally honest if you want, I promise not to cry. — One thing I like to do, in the interest of improving my photography, is to ask for honest (and even brutal) critiques. What did I do well (if anything)? What did I do poorly? Suggestions or ideas for improvement in the future. I love that stuff and while I will…

AI art : MidJourney vs Stable Diffusion

When it comes to your photography do you prefer this or that? How does that compare to other photographers? — A fellow photographer here on Medium Gareth Willey recently published an article titled This or That challenge for Photographers in which he challenged other photographers to answer five questions about their preferences.

Using ChatGPT to write poetry

I’ve been experimenting with stable diffusion (and similar) to generate artwork, but there is also ChatGPT which is an AI which can be used to write things. So, I thought I’d ask it to write a poem about photography. I could have been more specific, but I wasn’t. I left…
