Tips
- 1Experiment with 'LIGHTING TYPE': Don't just say 'night lighting.' Specify 'moonlight,' 'starlight,' 'aurora glow,' or even 'cosmic dust glow' for more unique results.
- 2Layer your subjects: Instead of just 'night sky,' try 'ancient tree under night sky' or 'futuristic city under a meteor shower night sky' to add depth and interest.
- 3Utilize 'COLOR' effectively: Describe the colors of the night sky, not just the objects in it. 'Deep indigo sky,' 'iridescent nebula,' or 'silver starlight' can guide the AI beautifully.
- 4Play with 'FRAME SIZE' and 'LENS SIZE': A 'wide shot' with a '24mm lens' will give a different feel than a 'close-up' with a '500mm lens,' especially for celestial bodies.
- 5Incorporate specific celestial events: Mention 'meteor shower,' 'solar eclipse (night phase),' 'comet,' or 'supermoon' to add dynamic elements to your night sky.
