Ever wanted to make pictures that seem super real, like they're from real life? Well, guess what? u/KudzuEye on Reddit just shared this cool trick using Midjourney v6.

Let's check it out and see how it's done! Below is general structure of the prompt, so you can use it and tweak it by yourself.

We tested out this prompt, and here are the coolest pictures we got.
