Iceland scenery - February 2026
Experimenting with AI enhancements
14/02/2026
This is my first attempt at using AI to generate a new image. It is the only image on my website using this questionable approach to photography.
I have started with an image taken in Iceland. A diver with a plume of bubbles has been removed from the frame and the small goldfish added. Trees visible through the surface have also been artificially created. Creating such a shot would have been well outside of my Photoshop skills as well as being produced in a matter of seconds!
The value of producing an image in this way raises all sorts of questions but there's no denying the power of such advances. The term 'AI slop' could be used but at least the starting point was one of my original shots!
