SchmusRealism: Trail Cam

作者：SchmuserKadser

● Trail Cam Motion-triggered infrared night shots for Krea 2 Trail Cam makes any scene look like it was caught at 3 am by a hidden wildlife camera: black-and-white infrared, a harsh flash that blows out whatever is closest, everything further away falling off into pure black, glowing eyes, heavy sensor grain, a cheap wide-angle lens and a hip-height point of view. It works on any subject, not only animals. Settings

• Trigger: end the prompt with night trail camera photo

• Krea 2 Turbo, 8 steps, CFG 1, Euler / Simple, 832×1248 (landscape 1216×832 works just as well)

• LoRA strength 1.0 (0.6 to 0.8 for a slightly cleaner image with less grain and falloff)

• Hires pass (recommended): ×1.5 latent upscale, 4 steps, denoise 0.4, which gives 1248×1872

The included workflow, SchmusRealism_TrailCam_workflow.json, has all of this set up. Prompting tips

• Describe the scene, not the look. You don't need "infrared", "black and white", "grainy" or "flash".

• Write it like it was caught: "caught mid-step", "unaware of the hidden camera", "trotting past". Subjects that look into the lens feel staged - except if you're going for that look.

• Animals and night places work best: eyes reflect as glowing dots, so foxes, deer, cats, owls and raccoons look great. Gardens, forest trails, backyards, campsites, driveways.

• Indoor and daytime scenes work too. They just get the flash look of a camera set up in a dark room.

Good to know

• Output is black and white. Strongly colored objects in the prompt ("a red armchair") can keep a hint of their color; leave the color out if you want pure infrared.

• The flash falloff is part of the look: whatever is far away goes black. Put the subject close to the camera if you want it clearly visible.

Thanks for checking out my LoRA and I hope you find it helpful in your artworks. Feel free to leave some feedback or let me know what could be improved. 🫶
