Art and Photo - Devil's Bridge, Bulgaria

The new (Beta) Adobe Express added some rocking new features, such as video editing and AI text-to-image generative content.

The Devil's Bridge is one of the most beautiful ancient stone bridges in Bulgaria, dating from Roman and probably pre-Roman Empire times. I've been there several times. In the past it needed some hiking to go to it but lately a new road has been built and there is a big car parking just a few feet away from it so generally everyone could visit it.

Here is a photo I recently took of Devil's Bridge, so you can compare, no sunset versions as there were heavy clouds:

The Adobe Express Beta could be accessed at that link at the moment: https://new.express.adobe.com/
I have access to it as a part of my Adobe Creative Cloud paid subscription, I am not quite sure it could be used for free.

Here is the prompt I provided to Firefly:

the devil's bridge in bulgaria with motion blurred river of burning water, sunset sky and water reflections

The "Generate" function could be called a few limited times, each time it "produces" four images.
I am sharing only those I like and find more creative.

The last picture from the series is my favorite one:

next stop let the AI create a gaming environment that looks realistic enough , it's amazing to see what it can do , and also scary , how long before someone will be conficted of a crime due to false AI images ?

Probably such environment already exists :)
I think the courts already have a lot of experience with fake photos, Photoshops exists for a few decades already ;)
Thanks!

This is a popular name for bridges and other kinds of crossings around the world, but I don’t remember a single bridge of angels, whatever you call a ship, that’s how it will float :)
Gorgeous photographs!

Thanks. One of my travel photographs, the other images are AI generated as I wrote in the post.

This bridge is close to what we're speaking about ;)

I think that after waiting for sunset or sunrise, you could do without his services and the bridge would look the same. I did not understand that these are all variations of AI :)

LMAO, true. And they didn't have to go to construction stores to buy crappy stuff :D
I just remembered when I was child I was spending a part of my summer vacation in the countryside with my grandparents and my grandpa was waking me early in the morning so we go to the nearby river with a wheelbarrow and pick stones for the yard wall :)

You mean Photoshop?
I have the two copies of the newest versions installed already ;) At the moment only the Beta version has the embedded AI text-to-image input field.
I've tested it with a few travel photos and some of the results are really impressive.

Thanks so much for appreciating my work!
There isn't much editing, just the usual shadows highlights, contrast, dehaze, on my photo here, mainly. ;)
Have a great day ahead!

Wow, What an amazing collection of pictures from this beautiful bridge! Incredible it looks real like it would actually exist. Scary what AI can do.

I know that Adobe Firefly AI is trained and trains with the photos uploaded by the stock photographers in Adobe Stock. Mine included too. So I am not surprised the generated pictures in some extent look close to the real bridge. What surprised me is the AI "creativity"...

Drop me a message if you decide to go to the bridge, I'd love to have a joined bridge-photo-shoot-session :) And a few beers (or coffee eventually) as well! Cheers!
