Some B&W images in the style of the great Ansel Adams. Really nice how we’re able to reimagine modern landscapes like this Patagonian Icefield retreat, where glacial pull-back has carved fresh fjords and exposed raw granite spires. After a bit of prompting, as I was also able to get to make images in the resolution that Mr. Adams shot in (large format, 8x10 and 4x5). The grain is really quite nice!

Not gonna lie, this is how I feel right now 
The output destroys my brain, it makes sense but also doesn’t. So now I’m daydreaming about an airco to cool down my brain a bit

Prompt
A wide, hyper-realistic artistic rendering of a 3x3 wall-mounted grid of square compartments, each entirely constructed from colorful, tightly woven yarn and embroidery threads. Every compartment displays a color word rendered in thick, sculptural yarn, surrounded by a richly textured fiber background that mimics the essence of the color through surreal textile art. The grid structure is made from braided yarn borders, giving it a handmade, three-dimensional quality.
Each square contains:
Top Row (Left to Right):
1. The word “GREEN” formed in verdant yarn, set against a densely embroidered background mimicking grass blades—stitched in layered green threads that simulate the softness and natural texture of a meadow.
2. The word “BLUE” crafted in deep blue yarn over a background of swirling, ripple-stitched water—intricately embroidered in electric and sapphire blues, following the flow of waves in thread.
3. The word “RED” sculpted from crimson and ruby threadwork, set atop a velvet-like fiber surface—formed by looped and brushed red yarns emulating plush textile folds.
Middle Row (Left to Right):
4. The word “GRAY” stitched in metallic silver-gray yarn atop a background that simulates the rough, woven texture of concrete or brushed steel—achieved through interlaced gray threads in geometric hatching.
5. The word “YELLOW” formed with brilliant golden-yellow thread, floating above an intricately layered sunflower-petal-inspired embroidery, bursting with sunny warmth and radial floral stitching.
6. The word “BLACK” woven in rich matte black yarn on a deep, complex background resembling carbon fiber or layered felt, composed of tightly bound dark threads that absorb light.
Bottom Row (Left to Right):
7. The word “BROWN” embroidered in earthy, warm brown yarn over a background crafted from yarns that replicate cracked soil or soft leather grain using depth-heavy knotting and fine fiber sculpting.
8. The word “PURPLE” spelled in bold violet thread on a surface embroidered with petal-like swirls and curves, reminiscent of velvety blossoms and ornamental textile motifs.
9. The word “WHITE” constructed from bright white yarn on a pillowy surface of coiled, softly frayed threads—evoking clouds or freshly fallen snow in delicate fiber form.
Each compartment’s word is centered and rendered in a bold, modern sans-serif form made from sculptural yarn embroidery. Lighting is clean and directional, casting subtle shadows that enhance the three-dimensional fiber textures. The entire composition is set against a pure black gradient backdrop, allowing the vivid threads and intricate textures to radiate with surreal clarity. The image is rendered in a wide-format, high-saturation, surreal fiber-art photorealistic style with tactile depth and rich material detail.
