How to use this prompt

Rainy night city shots need reflections to carry the image. Wet pavement doubles every light source. Umbrella silhouettes add scale and movement. Steam from a grate creates depth and atmosphere. The 16:9 frame suits a cinematic street view. Keep neon colors limited to two or three; too many create visual noise. Silhouettes work better than detailed figures.

Variations to try

  • Tokyo rainy street — Japanese signage and red umbrellas for specificity
  • Empty rainy street — no people for a lonely mood
