Sample prompt · generate an image directly
The technique comes first, followed by the subject, scene, details and aspect ratio. Paste it straight into an image model and swap in your own subject.
Macro shot at the minimum focusing distance right up against the subject, very shallow depth of field, only one line of texture sharp. A dewdrop hangs from the edge of a leaf in the early morning, the whole garden reflected inside it, the leaf veins clear, the background melted into soft green bokeh. 1:1, a round dewdrop with a plausible reflection.
04
Common pitfalls
- Depth of field so shallow the whole subject blurs.
- Blown reflections turn the detail into white blobs.
05
Parameter tips
You must say exactly which detail the focus lands on (a dewdrop, the markings on a dial, a single eyelash).
