The Prompt
A violent lightning storm cracks across a night sky above a dark mountain lake, bolts forking down behind silhouetted peaks and igniting the clouds in electric violet flashes, mirrored in the black water. Vertical 9:16, 28mm wide lens, camera static on a tripod with a slow ominous push-in. Lightning forks and strobes naturally, rain sheets sweep across the lake surface, clouds churn and boil, the lake reflection shatters and reforms with each strike. Mood is dramatic and electric, palette of deep indigo, violet-white lightning and silver rain streaks. Photorealistic storm cinematography, natural lightning physics, crisp 8K detail, cinematic contrast, vertical framing with the lake anchoring the lower third.
