Prompt
Scene: the curved stone ghats of Varanasi on Kartik Purnima night, every step lined with thousands of small clay lamps, temple spires and old buildings above, boats on the river carrying people watching, floating leaf lamps drifting on the water. Moment or Pose: wide view from a boat mid-river, the lamp lines reflected as golden streaks in the dark water, a full moon rising above. Light: warm lamp glow everywhere, deep blue night sky, soft reflections. Camera: 24mm, f/2.8, slight long exposure feel so the water is smooth, boats sharp. Style: cinematic travel photograph, calm and grand, true-to-life colour. Format: horizontal 16:9. Avoid: crowds of identifiable faces, fireworks covering the lamps, two moons, text, logos, watermarks.
