Tennis Court from Above
Flux
Prompt
A single tennis court photographed straight down from directly overhead, deep terracotta clay surface with crisp white lines in the correct regulation layout, a baseline across each end, two long sidelines running the full length, a service line drawn across each half partway between the net and the baseline, and a short centre service line joining the net to that service line only and stopping there so each half reads as two service boxes, no line running the full length of the court, the net casting one thin shadow across the middle, faint fine broom-sweep marks curving through the clay like a dragged brush rather than vehicle tracks, a few footprint scuffs near one baseline, two balls resting close together in a corner, a dark green windbreak border framing all four edges, flat even overcast light, perfectly square-on symmetrical composition, no people, no text

Tennis Court from Above is a Flux.1 dev prompt for a graphic aerial study at 1:1. Drag-broom arcs are the one organic mark on an otherwise rigid grid, and overcast light protects the symmetry the composition depends on.

How to use this prompt
This is a geometry exercise, so the camera has to be genuinely square-on — a few degrees of tilt makes the sidelines converge and the flat graphic quality that makes aerial courts appealing disappears entirely. State it twice, as "straight down from directly overhead" and "perfectly square-on", because Flux drifts toward a three-quarter aerial by default. The drag-broom arcs earn their mention by being the only curved, human mark on a field of straight lines. Overcast light is structural: hard sun lays a long diagonal shadow across the court and destroys the symmetry.
Variations to try
- Blue hard court version with the ball-machine and a bench, cooler palette, same overhead framing
- Weathered municipal court: cracked surface, faded lines, weeds at the baseline, warmer tone
