Observations:

Harold Edgerton (1903–1990) was an American engineer and photographer, renowned for his pioneering work in high-speed photography and stroboscopy. He revolutionized the field of photography by inventing the electronic flash, or strobe light, which allowed for the capture of fast-moving objects in unprecedented detail. His iconic images, such as the "Milk Drop Coronet" and "Bullet Through Apple," have become symbols of the intersection between science and art, revealing the hidden beauty of split-second moments. Did you know? Harold Edgerton was not just confined to the lab; he was also an avid explorer. He collaborated with marine explorer Jacques Cousteau, using his strobe light technology to photograph and explore shipwrecks and underwater landscapes. This adventurous spirit led him to work on various projects, including mapping the ocean floor and locating ancient shipwrecks. His work in this area earned him the nickname "Papa Flash" among underwater explorers and further solidified his legacy as a pioneer in both science and art. The Midlibrary score is 9/9

What is Midlibrary Benchmark
and how rate styles

Midlibrary Benchmark is a test comprised of nine standardized prompts designed to test how Midjounrey styles (AKA artistic styles, reference styles, or style modifiers) work with different subjects in a variety of contexts.

Benchmark prompts
cyberpunk character
Nazgul over sleeping town
decaying peonies
tech genius teenage girl
cute Mainecoon cat
Chernobog
bioarchitecture
Thom Yorke
Francis D. photographed by Andrei Kovalev. Paris, 2011
Image Prompt: Francis D

Style ranking

Depending on how a style manifested itself with each prompt, we add 1, 0.5, or 0 points to its total score.

cyberpunk character by Hieronymus Bosch

The prompt produced a generic results with no unique style features: this test adds nothing (0) to the overall score.

cyberpunk character by Ron English

This generation inherits more elements from the referenced style, but they are scarce and dilluted. Which adds 0.5 to the style's score.

cyberpunk character by Guy Bourdin

In this case, the Midjourney style showed a distinct and unique result, well aligned with the style's real-world prototype. A firm 1.
