Distant Shores

I made an account over at Nightcafe the other day and started to play around with the Stable Diffusion Model trying some phrases from my stories. This one turned out quite decent I’d say. I added the titles in Gimp afterwards.

Fascinating topic, endless possibilities, and it will only get better… or worse… depending on your POV.

Check out the rest of the creations on my profile here.

ZEN Trinity

To NFT or not to NFT that is the question… or maybe it isn’t really a question anymore? Either way, I have just created my first NFT collection ZEN Trinity on opensea.io, starting with some minimalist fine art photographs I have taken in various locations from 2009 to the present day.

Here’s a sneak peek of Zen Trinity I Series 001.

Zen Trinity I Series 001 – Simplicity in nature.

Dragonlake Evening Glow

Here’s the shot I took with my Canon EOS 50D and EF-S 10-22mm lens with a B+W ND10 ‘Big Stopper’ and a tripod, exposure was 300 seconds at f/22 and ISO400. With so little light left I should have used an ND500 or less instead but then again, if your sensor can handle the exposure time without hot pixels then go for it! Here I had to do some median filter pass on the dark areas, crank up the noise reduction and reduce clarity in those areas to get rid of the pixel noise. I guess I have to look into @leefilters or similar.
