## Prompt · English

```text
A candid 35mm-film photograph of an ordinary evening on a quiet Japanese neighborhood street. A person in everyday clothing pauses beside a small shop while a bicycle and distant pedestrians add life to the scene. Use an unposed composition, imperfect framing, gentle motion blur, subdued colors, natural skin texture, fine film grain and soft halation around practical lights. Keep the setting believable and lived-in; avoid fashion-ad polish and excessive neon. Landscape 3:2.
```

## How to use

Keep the scene ordinary and unposed. Adjust time and weather in the copied prompt; this generated scene is not a documentary photograph of a specific place.
