Aaron Burns Incense on the Golden Altar

Prompt

Exodus 30: inside the holy place, before the veil, Aaron burns sweet incense on the small golden altar of incense with its four horns and crown of gold, as he trims the lamps in the morning. Aaron in his high priest's garments stands large and central, sprinkling incense onto glowing coals, and fragrant white smoke curls upward before the great veil of blue, purple and scarlet embroidered with cherubim. Warm golden lamplight fills the sacred room; the mood is quiet, prayerful and holy. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
