The tiny town of Charleston has a boat yard filled with marvelously deteriorated vessels. Generative fill gave this one a chance to go to sea again.

Happy Slider Sunday!

I didn't like the environment that the truck was in so I used generative fill and got this desert scene with an ocean in the background.

Happy Truck Thursday!

I extended this photo by a couple of inches on both sides. I thought it more accurately depicted what I actually saw.

Straßberg ist ein kleiner Ort, hier ist nicht wirklich was los, ein Bach, ein paar alte Häuser, etliche Gebäude unbewohnt und verfallen. Einmal täglich allerdings erwacht der Ort für ein paar Minuten zum Leben, nämlich immer dann wenn die alte Dampflok der Harzer Schmalspur Bahn (HSB), auch Selketalbahn genannt, hier durchfährt. Den exakten Zeitpunkt kann man den Fahrplänen der HSB entnehmen. Keine 2 Minuten vor der angekündigten Ankunft hier, kommen plötzlich Autos aus allen Richtungen, bleiben teilweise mitten auf der Straße stehen, ein paar Leute springen hektisch raus, die Kamera bereits im Anschlag. Und da kommt sie auch schon angeschnaubt, pünktlich auf die Minute ! Schnell ein paar Bilder, hoffentlich stimmen jetzt alle Einstellungen und so plötzlich wie sie um's Eck kam, ist sie auch schon wieder verschwunden und mit ihr die paar Fotografen. Es kehrt wieder Ruhe im Ort ein 😁.

The Samuel Boardman State Park on the south coast of Oregon contains 12 miles of spectacular rock formations. A short trail leads to the overlook of two natural bridges in the rocks far below. There is a (closed) brutally steep and slippery trail leading to the bridges. If you zoom in you will see a person standing on the left bridge. I wanted to go there but Wilbur refused. So I had to make do with the view seen here. There was a man on the overlook that I removed with the help of Generative Fill in Photoshop. See the original shot in the comments.

I couldn't let Sunday pass without sharing the fun with Photoshop's Generative Fill I had today. I used Generative Fill to dismiss several logs on the right side of the basalt cliff where the falls drop, added some interest to the foreground water and as the coup de grace, added two figures jumping into the falls on the left. Generative fill works pretty well for inanimate objects but it's ability to do people is a spectacular failure! Those people are pretty scary; they're good for Halloween decor. They are too large as well as the falls drop is 43 feet.

I was inspired to add the jumpers because I read this fall is popular on social media as a place to film your friends jumping into the plunge pool. If you are curious about the number of logs removed, go look at the photo I posted looking down at the falls, three frames back.

Happy Slider Sunday!

I asked generative fill for Native American dancers and got this group. Shiprock plays a large role in the spiritual beliefs of the Navajo. So I was looking for something appropriate for the location. Not sure these dancers fit that role.

The Coquille River Lighthouse is perched at the mouth of the Coquille River. It opened in 1896 and remained staffed until 1936 when the Coast Guard placed an automated beacon on the end of the nearby jetty. The structure was abandoned for over 20 years until the state of Oregon created a state park around it. The lighthouse received a major restoration and was opened to the public in 1979. Weather continued to damage the building and it received another restoration in 2007. While the building is staffed by volunteers and is open to the public, the tower is closed off due to safety concerns from deterioration. The area around the lighthouse has a significant accumulation of lumber, tree trunks and other debris from storms. With the help of Photoshop generative fill, I am able to display this beautiful historical structure with the dignity it deserves.

The yellow bus appears almost ready to load up and depart. Except it's awfully rusty and its tires appear untrustworthy.

And on top of those issues, its reflection in a big puddle of water is brought to you via Generative Fill in Photoshop.

I have been experimenting with enhancing photos lately. This one was pretty good, but it was a vertical shot. When I adjusted the camera for a better position, the spider ran. So, the left and right edges of this photo are made up by Adobe 2023 Beta's Generative Fill feature. And I used Topaz Photo AI to sharpen it. A pretty low setting because it seems to distort macro details like hairs and lines. I am really impressed with both. I still needed to clean things up in Photoshop afterward, but it can help save the not quite worth posting shots.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them, however! Thanks again!!

I discovered some beautiful murals with an ocean theme. This version has been created using the 'generative fill' feature of Adobe Photoshop. As seen below, the original had three windows and a vehicle. I wished that there had been no windows and decided as an experiment to use this modern tool.

The new Generative Fill feature in Photoshop beta is quite useful. I tried the Remove function in the recent version of Photoshop beta to remove several palm trees at the bottom of the image. It did not work well at all. The new Generative Fill does work quite well. See the image below for a shot with the palm trees in place. It probably does not hold up under close scrutiny, but the filled in areas blend nicely with the neighboring areas.

I thought the large flying fish at Bombay Beach would look better flying over water. Photoshop Generative Fill gave me water.

Happy Slider Sunday!

I did some experimentation with Photoshop Generative Fill. I removed the five logs cluttering the scene. See below with the original photo complete with logs and no cropping. I also smoothed the water of the plunge pool in the second image below. I am astonished at how well Photoshop Generative Fill performed.

Here is the image of my yesterday's post "Mt. Diabloe Sunrise". I used Adobe's newly developed Generative Fill tool to replace a foreground and some middleground. The results are amazing and AI is definitely a game changer for phtotography.

Protzige Regierungspaläste, barocke Kirchen, ein paar Relikte aus der Römerzeit, das eine oder andere hippe Stadtviertel. Das haben doch alle mediterranen Städte. Man kann sie kaum voneinander unterscheiden. Wirklich einzigartig aber und es gibt sie so nur in Lissabon, das sind diese putzigen kleinen Schmalspur-Straßenbahnen. Alle Strecken (bis auf 1) werden bis heute ausschließlich von diesen hübschen, vielfach noch aus den 1930er Jahren stammenden Bahnen befahren. Die Steigungen sind immens, die Kurven eng, eine andere Bahn hätte hier ohnehin keine Chance. Besonders beliebt bei Touristen ist die Linie 28, deren Verlauf fast wie bei einer Stadtrundfahrt durch die schönsten Viertel der Stadt führt. Einen Sitzplatz zu bekommen ist fast unmöglich. Mir egal, von außen sind die Bahnen viel hübscher anzusehen, als von innen 😉.

Along Highway 550 in New Mexico there are several abandoned trading posts. Prior to World War 2 trading posts were very important to the Navajo. The posts were the sources of goods sold to and from the Navajo and served as social centers. The vehicle was provided by generative fill.

Oh, wie schön ist Quedlinburg !

Zu DDR-Zeit gab es Pläne die sich im Verfall befindliche Stadt und ihre Fachwerkhäuser abzureißen. Zu groß erschien der Aufwand einer Sanierung all der hübschen Häuser und Gassen. Die Zeit dieser Planungen hat Quedlinburg überdauert, ab den 90er-Jahren begann dann die umfassende Sanierung der weitläufigen, vielfach noch aus dem Mittelalter stammenden Bausubstanz. Heute steht Quedlinburg auf der Liste der UNESCO-Liste des Weltkulturerbes. Sie trägt daher auch den Beinamen "Welterbestadt".

.

Oh, how beautiful Quedlinburg is!

During the GDR era there were plans to demolish the decaying city and its half-timbered houses. The effort required to renovate all the pretty houses and alleys seemed too great. Quedlinburg survived the time of these plans, and in the 1990s the extensive renovation of the buildings, many of which still date back to the Middle Ages, began. Today Quedlinburg is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is therefore also nicknamed “World Heritage City”.
