A surreal and awe-inspiring spectacle is unfolding on the beach as a mysterious alien spacecraft has landed. The center of the spacecraft has released a beam of light that illuminates the air vertically, creating an enchanting and mystical atmosphere. This scene is inspired by the works of the famous sci-fi photographer Roger Dean. We will use the Sony A7R IV camera for this image with the following settings: shutter speed 1/80, aperture f/8, ISO 800. The lighting setup will be "surreal and ethereal", like in a dream. To add more artistry to the image, let's use some fancy words like "symmetrical, abstract, dreamlike, and cinematic". For the image format, let's use a vertical aspect ratio using the command "--ar 2:3".
