Nature Photography SREF Codes

Professional nature and wildlife photography SREF codes for Midjourney including landscapes, wildlife, macro, and botanical photography.

Nature photography SREF codes capture the beauty of the natural world with professional techniques. These codes understand outdoor lighting, natural colors, wildlife behavior, and landscape composition.

Quick Start:

Use --sref 2653204188 --sw 120 for soft botanical photography, or --sref 620884445 --sw 150 for dramatic landscape shots.

Lighting Matters:

Nature photography codes respond well to specific lighting descriptions. Mention "golden hour", "soft morning light", or "dramatic storm lighting" for best results.

Best Practices for Nature Photography

1

Specify Lighting Conditions

Nature photography is all about light. Always mention specific lighting:

  • "golden hour light"
  • "soft morning mist"
  • "dramatic storm lighting"
  • "dappled forest light"
  • "overcast diffused light"
2

Include Environmental Context

Describe the setting to help the SREF code understand composition:

  • "mountain valley with river"
  • "dense forest understory"
  • "open savanna grassland"
  • "rocky coastal cliff"
3

Use Camera Equipment References

Mention equipment for professional quality:

  • "shot with 70-200mm lens"
  • "wide angle 24mm perspective"
  • "macro 105mm lens"
  • "telephoto compression"
4

Describe Weather and Atmosphere

Weather conditions add mood and realism:

  • "morning fog lifting"
  • "light rain falling"
  • "clear blue sky"
  • "approaching storm"

Combining Nature SREF Codes

Advanced Technique:

Mix landscape and wildlife codes for complex nature scenes:

grizzly bear fishing in river with mountain backdrop --sref 620884445::2 662073165::1 --sw 140

The first code (landscape) influences overall scene, while the second (wildlife) affects the subject.

Style Weight Guidelines for Nature

Subject TypeRecommended SWNotes
Grand Landscapes130-170Higher weight for dramatic effect
Wildlife Portraits130-160Strong weight for sharp detail
Botanical Close-ups100-140Moderate for natural softness
Macro Photography110-150Balanced for detail and artistry
Documentary Nature80-120Lower weight for authenticity
Atmospheric Scenes100-130Moderate for mood without over-processing

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don't Over-Describe Style

artistic nature photography with soft lighting and dreamy mood --sref 2653204188

The SREF already contains the style. Just describe the subject.

Don't Skip Lighting Details

mountain landscape --sref 620884445

Too vague. Lighting is critical in nature photography.

Don't Use Conflicting Descriptors

dramatic cinematic mountain range --sref 253531001

This code is for documentary style, not cinematic drama.

Don't Forget Context

flower --sref 2653204188

Too simple. What kind of flower? What's the setting?

Nature Photography Tips

Golden Hour Magic:

Most nature SREF codes respond beautifully to "golden hour" or "magic hour" lighting. Use these terms liberally for warm, professional results.

Seasonal Variations:

Specify seasons for appropriate atmosphere: "autumn colors", "spring blooms", "winter snow", "summer green".

Wildlife Behavior:

For wildlife codes, include behavioral context: "alert", "hunting", "resting", "playing". This helps create authentic poses.

Depth and Scale:

Include scale references for landscapes: "towering mountains", "distant valley", "expansive horizon", "intimate clearing".

Start Experimenting:

Nature photography SREFs work best when you experiment with different lighting conditions and times of day. Start with --sw 120 and adjust based on your results.
