Monday Midjourney - Weekly Generative AI Image Inspiration

Studying complex generative AI image prompts, particularly involving lighting and camera instructions. Full prompts in alt text.
Symmetrically staged scene of a whimsical pastel-hued bakery, shot with a Fujifilm GFX 100S. The owner, an eccentric woman in her 70s, stands proudly at the counter, surrounded by a delightful array of pastries. Style of Wes Anderson. Rich detail. It should highlight the pastel color palette and the geometric precision in the composition. - ar 3:2 - v 5.2 A mesmerizing cityscape shot on a Sony Alpha 1, capturing the essence of a sprawling cyberpunk metropolis. Skyscrapers pierce the night sky, their neon signs reflecting off the rain-slicked streets below. Holograms dance between buildings as silhouettes of cyber-enhanced individuals move hurriedly under the glow of electric umbrellas. Use high contrast and high saturation to emphasize the neon colors and create a rich, vibrant atmosphere - ar 16:9 With a Sony Alpha 1, capture an expansive room where thousands of colored strings hang from the ceiling, creating undulating waves of color. As air circulates, the strings sway, making the waves ebb and flow. Soft spotlights from above and below add depth, making certain colors pop while others create a gentle gradient. Focus on the dynamic movement and the interplay of light and color. — ar 4:5 — v 5.2 — s 910 Using a Canon EOS R5, capture an enigmatic moment deep within the heart of the jungle. The shaman stands poised next to a serene water source, with reflections of towering ancient trees in the backdrop. The atmosphere is thick with mist, creating a surreal veil around the shaman. Ethereal blue and green hues dominate the scene, giving it a dreamy, otherworldly aura. The scene should resonate with a profound connection between nature and spiritual rituals. - ar 3:2 - v 5.2 - s 900
