The Double Exposure of a Raging Storm in a Glass Bottle image was created using NightCafe AI Image Generator. IMHO NightCafe Studio is one of the best AI image generators for newbies.
The Double Exposure of a Raging Storm in a Glass Bottle AI image is a simple prompt:
“Double exposure of a raging storm in a glass bottle. Epic cinematic brilliant stunning intricate meticulously detailed dramatic atmospheric maximalist digital matte painting”
The second half of the prompt is a NightCafe preset called Epic: “Epic cinematic brilliant stunning intricate meticulously detailed dramatic atmospheric maximalist digital matte painting”
The first part of the prompt couldn’t be simpler: “Double exposure of a raging storm in a glass bottle.” and describes exactly what we want and what we got. I left exactly what SDXL to produce to chance, but thought it would look better with red adding, so tried:
“Double exposure of a raging storm in a glass bottle. Epic cinematic brilliant stunning intricate meticulously detailed dramatic atmospheric maximalist digital matte painting, reds”
Simply adding “reds” to the end of the prompt gave this result.
After that I went super obvious and added ship and green to the prompt:
“Double exposure of a ship in a raging storm in a glass bottle. Epic cinematic brilliant stunning intricate meticulously detailed dramatic atmospheric maximalist digital matte painting, reds, greens”
You can see despite keeping “reds” in the prompt, there’s not a lot of red. If I want red badly I could have added it earlier in the prompt or used red multiple times.
It’s an easy prompt to work with, minor changes will give good results.

Note: I didn’t use a negative prompt because I wasn’t expecting to see a lot of hands and feet or other things Stable Diffusion tends to have problems with since the main target of the prompt was a raging storm.

Thanks for sharing this. Firstly the images are wonderful.
I did try this out in NightCafe using Mysterious. Interestingly the storm in the bottle produces a similar result but whenever I had the word ‘ship’ to the prompt then I lose the double exposure and bottle from the result.
Any ideas what might cause that?
Warmest regards

From memory I only ran the ship prompt once, so I might have been lucky.
What I find helpful is doubling up on parts that that aren’t working. So for this prompt I’d try adding “Ship” and “Double Exposure” twice or more:
“Double exposure of a ship in a raging storm in a glass bottle. Epic cinematic brilliant stunning intricate meticulously detailed dramatic atmospheric maximalist digital matte painting, reds, greens. Double exposure. Ship. Boat.”
Ran the prompt once and got this https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/udkqQg7Ev4FhdgjwHK6S
You can also use brackets to enforce words/terms like this:
“(Double exposure) of a (ship) in a raging storm in a glass bottle. Epic cinematic brilliant stunning intricate meticulously detailed dramatic atmospheric maximalist digital matte painting, reds, greens. ((Double exposure. Ship. Boat.))”
Ran the prompt once and got this https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/szFZ3u3e8NOiMtVWEHRy
Adding the (brackets) would be the equivalent of this prompt (which doesn’t make sense):
“Double exposure Double exposure of a ship ship in a raging storm in a glass bottle. Epic cinematic brilliant stunning intricate meticulously detailed dramatic atmospheric maximalist digital matte painting, reds, greens. Double exposure. Ship. Boat. Double exposure. Ship. Boat. Double exposure. Ship. Boat.”
Ran the prompt once and got this https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/faqZK0lc7lbOouLENNue
The AI struggled with this one, we lost the double exposure and the glass bottle and only got a ship in a storm. Which is why (brackets) can be so useful.
More ((brackets)) means the phrase/words are more important.
To add to this double exposure can be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it works great, other times a complete flop.
