Prompt
A real photograph in the observational documentary genre, captured on 35mm film with a 35mm lens at f/5.6 for generous depth of field and open visible grain. A single soft overcast daylight key from high front falls evenly across surfaces with loose open shading gathering lightly under ledges and folds, finished in a plain desaturated grade with honest midtone contrast and unpolished texture.
Wide 16:9 frame. In soft low tide light a hermit crab sits on wet sand beside a tiny pale shell it has left behind, now wearing a larger spiral shell that is too heavy for it, a second larger empty shell a few centimetres away, a thin line of surf behind, seen at ground level and framed as a close medium shot. No people, hands or faces appear; no readable words, numbers or logos appear and every mark, label and tag is blank or plain colour, and any pencil marks on a door frame are plain unnumbered tick lines.
