Using Playgound and Leonardo AI Today Kate showed us how to use 2 different AI software to create some images. I enjoyed having a play with them. However, I found there wasn't much I could do with Playground as it asked me to pay for the subscription after a while With Leonardo, I was able to generate the pre-set prompts to create some really nice scenes and also get an idea of the kind of wording that is used.

This is the type of scene I want to create behind a gate. A small opening into a beautiful land behind the gate.

I knew this would be the case but I was still hoping to find some overgrown parts with lots of old vines and ivy leaves. I did find a gate all on its own which was a little creepy. My kids seemed to like it.  A gate to nowhere and everywhere.   I was so surprised by how neat many people kept their back gates and hedges during the Winter months.                             Below are some unmaintained gates within Wollaton park that I found. I'm still a bit unsure of what direction I want to take. I really love the idea of looking at some overgrown areas, if only we were in the Summer months, it would be a lot easier to find overgrown green areas. I do like the idea of keeping things realistic and look...
