[Community Challenge 38] The Night Feeling

The Night Feeling

The Night Feeling is the thoughtful nostalgic emotion you feel when you walk/drive alone at night, or see a city skyline at dusk with the wind in your face.

The feeling you get when you’re feeling lonely but at peace, thoughtful but melancholy, and homesick for something you can’t quite remember.

  • Walking home at night after your day is over, carrying some last minute groceries for a quick dinner.
    The streets are already deserted and the cool summer night's air adds that special scent that makes you feel so at peace...


    Prompt: A woman walking down a tree-lined boulevard along a canal, carrying a plastic white grocery bag, at a summer night, artificial lighting, peaceful atmosphere, shot on disposable camera --ar 3:2 --style raw

    This is such a nice challenge, I love the idea.

    • I keep getting other ideas and inspiration for this one.

    • This looks natural and realistic. It really captures that feeling. Thanks!

      • You're welcome and thank you as well :)

        I wanted to go for a realistic touch because I can really relate with what you were describing. I love that Night Feeling.

    • Score: most upvoted + prompt + OP's fav = 5

      The image exceeds my expectation of current AI image generation. Amazing!

      You are the winner of this challenge. Here is your trophy:

  • It's not perfect, and an overly complex workflow, but after many attempts, time is running-out so here it is

    Workflow

    *I wanted something about the contrast between the youth finishing to party when the workers are already up, think about the Il Est 5h, Paris, s'éveille (I couldn't find english subs for the original)

    I started with a naive prompt like A city at night,in an almost empty street, A young girl in clubbing clothe leave the scene at left, while an old man in work clothe walks in opposite direction at the right and got something like a couple with a huge age gap. (And for the lol, that prompt is too NSFW for bing AI)

    Not what I want, so I went for inpainting, started with

    A modern city, late at night, dawn is coming,in an empty street, A young girl in clubbing clothe walks away, photography in real visionXL getting the lady I was looking for

    Used inpainting An old man cleans the street getting an awful old man,

    To get a decent garbage man, I went into img2img with A modern city, late at night, dawn is coming,in an empty street, A young girl in clubbing clothe walks away, an old man cleans the street I feel like I could have generate a few dozen extra images to choose, but I still want to do something this afternoon, so times runs out, let call-it a day.

  • Prompt: A nightly photo of a street scene: A single person is calmly walking down a small path at midnight in an urban surrounding with fully detached houses with garden. There are few street lamps and a crescent moon in a starry summer sky. Vintage photography style.
