Having spent the best part of 40 years looking through a viewfinder of a stills or video camera, sitting in front of a computer editing photos or videos, producing websites and managing content and social media accounts for organisations or individuals, it’s a very strange feeling to now say “I’m retired".

Despite no longer taking on commercial paid work, it’s virtually impossible to suddenly stop what you’ve been doing for the best part of your working life so, for the past few years I’ve been taking on work on a ‘pro-bono’ basis for church, charity or voluntary organisations. I hope that my experience, skills and equipment can now be put to good use by those who perhaps, don’t have the budget or funding to produce what they want or need for their media requirements.

How do you get your head around ChatGPT?

I edited a piece to camera for a good friend, it was about keeping the church graveyard grass mown and the relationship between us, and those who have passed before us and who lay under the ground that he was mowing. We couldn’t decide on a title for YouTube for the video so I threw the script into ChatGPT which then came up with around 15 different suggestions, we chose “A Cut Above the Past’. I could understand how ChatGPT managed to do that from what I supplied but, what followed was beyond my comprehension...

Peter asked if I could find a photo of a Husquvana ride on mower in a graveyard situation, mowing the grass...I did try my usual picture source, Depositphotos and found nothing, so I provided a descriptive prompt to ChatGPT and you can see the result!

Yes, it could have been achieved in Photoshop or similar but it would have taken considerably longer than the 2 minutes it did in ChatGPT!
