Adding the following phrases to your prompt may help change or enhance the quality of your generated image:
→ Camera Lenses
"15mm" — An ultra-wide lens that captures a wide field of view [perfect for landscape or architecture]
"35mm" — A standard lens with a natural perspective similar to human vision [ideal for street-shots or general use]
"85mm" — A medium telephoto lens with a narrow field of view that creates beautiful bokeh [out-of-focus areas] and isolates the subject from the background [great for portrait and low-light settings]
"100mm" — A medium telephoto lens that provides a longer working distance for macro photography [perfect for capturing detailed close-ups of small subjects]
"200mm" — A telephoto lens that provides a narrow field of view and magnifies distant subjects [great for sports, wildlife, or events where the subject is far away]
→ Lens Filters
"Color-Gel" — Modifies the color temperature or creates a specific color effect.
Example: "Blue color-gel filter" to cool down a warm light generation or "red color-gel filter" to warm up a cool light generation.
"Diffusion-Filter" — Softens the image and reduces contrast to create a dreamy or romantic effect.
Example: "Soft focus filter" for portraits or "diffusion filter" for nature.
"Polarization-Filter" or "Polarizer Lens" — Reduces glare, reflections, and enhances color saturation by controlling the direction of light waves.
Example: "Circular polarizer filter" for landscapes or "linear polarizer filter" for removing reflections from glass surfaces.
"Dichroic-Filter" — Separates light into different wavelengths to create a color separation effect.
Example: "Prism filter" for creating rainbow effects or "star filter" for creating sparkling lights.
"Neutral-Density-Filter" or "ND-Filter" — Reduces the amount of light entering the lens without affecting color balance.
Example: Capturing flowing water or creating motion blur in bright daylight.
"Infrared-Filter" or "Infared-Cut-Off-Filter" — Blocks visible light and allows infrared light to pass through to create a surreal or eerie effect.
Example: "Infrared filter" for landscapes or "night vision filter" for security cameras.
"Graduated-Neutral-Density-Filter" or "GND-Filter" — Reduces the exposure of a specific area of the image, usually the sky, to balance it with the rest of the image.
Example: Balancing the exposure between a bright sky and a darker foreground in landscape shots.
"Ultraviolet-Filter" or "UV-Filter" — Blocks ultraviolet light and protects the lens from dust, scratches, and fingerprints.
Example: "UV filter" for protecting the lens in outdoor photography or "Haze filter" for reducing atmospheric haze in landscape generations.
→ Space Filters
"Astronomical-Filter" - The general term to enhances colors of light emitted by celestial objects, such as stars or planets.
"Oxygen-III filter" - Capturing the blue-green emission nebula in astrophotography.
"Hydrogen-Alpha Filter" - Isolates the red emission line of hydrogen atoms emitted by nebulae and regions of ionized hydrogen gas.
"Light-Pollution-Reduction-Filter" - Blocks specific wavelengths of light associated with artificial light pollution, allowing clearer images of the night sky to be captured from light-polluted areas.
"Broadband Nebula Filter" - Enhances the contrast of emission nebulae by blocking unwanted light and enhancing the transmission of specific wavelengths of light associated with nebular emissions.
The phrases above are more influential when they appear closer to the beginning of the prompt OR at the very end.
