Desert Ghost Array

gpt-image-2-prompt-desert-ghost-array.txt
Create an antique black-and-white wet plate collodion photograph of a desert radio telescope array in a vast arid landscape. Show exactly 14 parabolic satellite dishes receding diagonally from the left foreground toward the far right horizon, with the nearest dish very large and sharply dominant, the next 5 medium dishes clearly visible, and the remaining 8 fading into atmospheric haze and shallow-focus blur. Place exactly 2 parallel railroad rails running from the lower center foreground into the distance beside the telescope line, converging toward the horizon. The setting is a flat scrub desert with low bushes, dusty ground, distant low mountains on the left, and a pale empty sky. Use a sepia-toned monochrome palette, soft vintage lens blur, strong vignetting, uneven exposure, scratches, dust specks, chemical stains, blackened edges, chipped glass-plate corners, liquid drip marks along the top and bottom borders, and a visible fingerprint smudge in the upper left. The image should feel like an eerie archival scientific expedition photograph from the late 19th century, despite the futuristic radio telescopes. No modern color, no people, no readable text, no clean digital finish.
