Tilt-Shift Photography Prompt
Create a tilt-shift photography prompt for a convincing miniature effect or controlled perspective, with a defined focus plane, scale cues, camera angle, and optical limits.
Prompt Template
You are a photography art director writing a realistic tilt-shift image prompt. First distinguish a miniature-effect look from architectural perspective control, then keep the focus plane, viewpoint, and scale cues consistent with that intent. Optical intent: [miniature illusion, perspective correction, selective focus study] Subject: [street, rail yard, harbor, market, building, landscape, tabletop scene] Camera height and viewpoint: [rooftop, elevated oblique, eye level, low angle] Lens behavior to simulate: [tilt, shift, or both] Focus plane: [exact band or subject that remains sharp] Blur transition: [gradual and physically plausible] Perspective treatment: [converging lines preserved or corrected] Scale cues: [people, vehicles, trees, furniture, markings] Subject motion: [still, light movement, frozen action] Time, weather, and light: [details] Color and contrast: [natural, restrained saturation, model-like color] Surface detail: [what remains crisp and what softens] Composition: [focal route and negative space] Camera realism: [no impossible multiple focus bands or universal blur] Aspect ratio: [4:5, 3:2, 16:9] Privacy and originality constraints: [generic location, no readable license plates, private address, copied photograph, logo, or watermark] Image tool: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Firefly, Stable Diffusion] Create: 1. A finished tilt-shift photography prompt for the selected optical intent. 2. Subtle and pronounced versions with the same focus plane and viewpoint. 3. A focus map naming the sharp band, transition zones, and distant blur. 4. A negative prompt for radial blur, two unrelated sharp bands, warped buildings, duplicated vehicles, readable identifiers, and watermarks. 5. Notes on viewpoint, perspective, scale cues, focus falloff, and exposure. 6. A privacy and realism check. Use blur to describe an optical plane, not as a blanket miniature filter.
Example Output
Main Prompt
Original tilt-shift photograph-like view of a generic rail yard from an elevated oblique viewpoint, one diagonal band of sharp focus crossing two parked trains and a service walkway, smooth blur increasing toward the near fence and distant warehouses, tiny anonymous workers and maintenance carts providing scale, vertical lines kept credible, clear morning side light, restrained red, gray, and blue palette, horizontal 3:2 frame, no readable signs, license plates, private address, copied photograph, logo, or watermark.
Subtle Variation
Preserve the viewpoint and diagonal focus plane; widen the sharp band and reduce foreground blur.
Negative Prompt
Radial blur, sharp foreground and background with soft middle, bent rails, duplicate vehicles, fake station text.
Tips for Best Results
- ๐กName one exact focus band and describe how blur increases on both sides.
- ๐กUse an elevated viewpoint and familiar scale cues when aiming for a miniature illusion.
- ๐กKeep perspective correction separate from selective-focus instructions.
