AI image generationWritePrompt wordsIf 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.
InMidjourneyWhen 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.

Focal Length Utilization
Wide Angle

Standard Focal Lengths
- Prompts: standard lens, 50mm lens, normal lens

Medium Telephoto
- Keywords: 85mm lens, 105mm lens, portrait lens

combo trick
Examples of classic combinations
- Portrait standard: medium shot, eye level, 85mm lens
- Landscape: panoramic view, slightly high angle, 24mm wide lens
- Product Features: close-up, slightly high angle, 100mm macro lens
- Architectural shock: low angle, wide angle lens, looking up at architecture
Wrong combinations to avoid
- extreme close-up + wide angle lens (severe distortion)
- panoramic view + 300mm lens (conceptual conflict)
