AI DrawingWritePrompt wordIf you can't figure out how to compose a picture, if you can't focus...if you can master the three-piece "field of view/angle/focal length" set, the quality of your work will definitely improve greatly.
existMidjourneyWhen generating photography, the field of view determines the scope of the image, the angle affects the mood of the viewer, and the focal length controls the sense of space and the relationship between reality and reality. The combination of these three elements allows the AI to truly understand the "language of photography" you want.
