This is a framing of dust clouds among the stars of the Hyades star cluster in Taurus.
At lower left is the emission nebula Sharpless 2-239 embedded in the dense and brownish dust cloud LDN 1551. At upper right is the bright reflection nebula NGC 1555, called Hind's Variable Nebula, aka Sharpless 2-238. It is embedded in another dark swirling cloud that does not appear to have a separate entry in dark nebula catalogues. The bright star above centre is Ain, or Epsilon Tauri; the blue star at bottom is Delta3 Tauri. The stars in the image lie along the upper edge of the V-shaped Hyades star cluster. The field of view is 4.7° by 3.2°.
The odd nebula NGC 1555 was discovered by John Russell Hind in 1852 and seems to be variable in brightness due to changes in the brightness of its embedded source star T Tauri, a prototype of a class of young, newly formed stars that vary in brightness. An adjacent object, NGC 1554, was catalogued by Otto Struve, but has faded from view; thus it is called Struve's Lost Nebula.
This is a stack of 30 x 6-minute exposures (= 3 hours) with the Astro-Tech AT90CFT refractor at f/4.8 and the filter-modified Canon EOS R camera at ISO 800, though no filter was used in taking the images. I shot this on a very clear night from home November 17/18, 2023. Autoguided with the MGEN3 stand-alone guider on the Astro-Physics Mach1 mount.
Applications of luminosity masks created with Lumenzia, plus the nebula filter action from the PhotoKemi action set and the Detail Extractor filter from the Nik Collection 6 Color EFX plug-in brought out the faint nebulosity. An application of AI Generative Fill eliminated an unsightly lens flare from nearby Aldebaran, though I defy you to see any trace of the GenFill!
A small wooden doorway in Prague. I was fairly satisfied with the original photo, but was curious to see what Generative Fill would choose to do if I tried to expand the photo's borders. I'm not an architect, but it seems to me that it is able to "understand" architecture sufficiently to build realistic visual scenarios. Not what the building actually looks like, but certainly a plausible alternate reality.
I also made some Raw Camera adjustments & a few minor touch ups.

My photo of Bisti Badlands in New Mexico plus content added with the aid of the Generative Fill tool in Photoshop.
Here's the original photo that was the starting point:

Continuing my adventures with generative fill. The original photo was rushed, not great quality & had two women walking from the building. I used a variety of techniques, but mostly generative fill, to eliminate the two women, flood the streets (they were completely dry in the original shot), extend the two sides (there was no door on the left in the original), add a potted plant & create two imaginary statues. Photoshop did a great job with the reflections in the puddles, though it did take some extra tweaking & fine tuning on my part. It's definitely not a "push the button & everything happens automatically" situation (at least at this point in time)
Just to be clear, I'm not advocating the use of AI tools to be deceptive. I'm exploring the capabilities & limitations of these fascinating new tools & trying to have some fun while doing it. I hope photographers & others will use these tools responsibly & not for nefarious purposes.
Original photo of Arches National Park, which I then enhanced using Photoshop's generative fill tool to create a whimsical wild west fantasy.

This is a panorama of a green auroral arc (with hints of red) across the southern sky defining the sweep of the auroral oval. I shot this in the late evening on November 9, 2024 at sea during a coastal cruise in Norway on the m/s Nordkapp, a ship in the Hurtigruten fleet of ferries and cruise ships. This is looking south from the aft viewing area of Deck 7 of the ship. We were between Trondheim and Bodo this night. A Kp5 level storm sparked bright aurora early in the evening.
The waxing gibbous Moon is low in the south amid clouds creating a glitter path on the water. At left are the stars and Taurus and Jupiter rising in the east.
Technical:
This is a panorama of 7 segments, each a 0.8-second exposure (short to minimize trailing from ship motion) with the Nikkor 20mm lens wide open at f/1.8 and Nikon Z6III at ISO 3200. Stitched with PTGui with manual control points needed to assist in the alignment. Shooting a panorama from a moving ship is tricky and has to be done very quickly, and even then some segments can be trailed as at left.
I did a moderate bit of HSSing on the window. I made it larger and centered it before adding the insert using generative fill. There had just been plain cardboard, and I thought it deserved a winter scene.

This is the inner lighthouse in Malmö harbor. I used Photoshop generative fill to remove a ferry on the right hand side.
Playing with the generative text feature of generative fill in Photoshop to transform my photo of an ornate fireplace into a fantasy scene. The new element I tried was to select two areas on opposite sides of the image & see if generative fill would create the same content on both sides. In most cases, it created very similar, but not exactly the same content. The mirrors at right & left were almost identical mirror images of each other.
I found the quality of the results somewhat acceptable at normal viewing size, but if you zoom in more closely, it looks pretty ragged & blurry. Hopefully, this will improve in the future.
