Expert Usage Tips
Tip 1: Use the –stylize parameter in Midjourney (e.g., –s 250) to balance artistic flair with the structural integrity of the pagodas.
Tip 2: To change the focal point, simply add “Close up of [object]” at the beginning of the prompt to shift the camera behavior.
Tip 3: Experiment with different times of day by swapping “golden hour” for “blue hour” or “deep night” to instantly alter the emotional impact.
Tip 4: If the AI generates too much clutter, add “minimalist composition” to the prompt to force a cleaner, more focused look.
Tip 5: Use an aspect ratio of 16:9 for cinematic video style or 9:16 for mobile-friendly social media reels.
