The sun is almost set, so grab those last warm rays while you can. With deep lilac skies and the first hint of starlight overhead, hopefully the photographer brought the bounce light reflector.

Technical Note:

It took a bit of convincing to get Stable Diffusion to create beach photos that aren’t “high noon” lighting. Photographically speaking, the term for this type of light is “blue hour,” but adding that to a prompt just makes everything blue. The trick I landed on was to use regional prompting. Create a skinny column that’s 10% of the frame, and set the background there by itself with the help of a low-light lora. Then use the other 90% of the frame for the subject. This keeps the “blue hour” description from influencing clothing and hair colors. IE: (dune grass, pre-dawn morning twilight light, (blue hour:1.5) <lora:LowRA:.5> ADDCOL)

Programming Note:

Thanks to everyone that pointed out the issues with albums in the prior post. I figured out the markdown required to host jpgs here on LemmyNSFW, but still links to the original PNGs on catbox.moe. Hopefully things work better for everyone and the various mobile apps. Let me know if you have issues. ♥️

    Very nice work. With regional prompting, I wasn’t sure that Lora’s would apply only to the specified region but I guess it’s working for you.

    Apart from one image having a bad hand distortion, the images are quite stunning. At times, the nipples look a little off too, but only on a few of the photos. The faces are quite remarkable.

      Thanks! I haven’t quite got the hang of inpainting yet, it’s on the list for nipple adjustments. I try and bury the hands in sand/hair/clothes though, those things are always nasty to deal with.

        Yeah, it will be nice when AI manages to generate convincing hands. It’s amazing how many poses you can get with them hidden though.

          Feels like cheating. I have high hopes for the newer 1024x1024 SDXL models
