Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

  1. set up camera #1 in actual photo shot and take photo of no-one using tripod.
  2. take timed shots of each pose including the one where you hold up a blank photo to the camera and the one where you are standing taking another photo from the opposite angle using camera #2.

now you have all the elements for the original shot. now to make up the elements for the photo in the hand.

  1. fix camera #2 in the same place as where you were standing and take empty shot of no-one.
  2. set up the camera using the tripod and proceed to fill all other poses using timed shots including the crouching position taking a shot of camera #1 would have been and the one of the blank photo.

now you have all the elements for the photo in the hand.

  1. take home all shots and use photos from camera #1 to build the shot and photoshop in all the poses together. since the first shot is blank, it's easy to place easy pose in since they barely overlap each other.
  2. do the same for camera #2
  3. superimpose camera #2's photo onto the blank photo in original shot when wearing the red jumper. now this will still mean that the photo of the leather jacket is still blank.
  4. superimpose the current full photo of this onto the blank photo of the leather jacket, repeat 7 & 8 until too small to see.

They both took a picture at the same time and then photoshopped them into each other...? What's the photos they're holding up might have been anything.

Anything. Can you imagine? Anything.

Pretty simple. Take the first posed shot, travel back in time and give it to your past self to hold in the second photo, then go play basketball.

More of a mindfuck when you realize they are all the same guy. No, this isn't an 'all asians look alike' joke. They even have the same pants!

Well first of all you see something that has been popular on reddit many times, then wait to not see it for a while, then repost it in an attempt to gain karma. I agree that it is kind of a headache.

Technically, your brain cannot hurt, due to the fact that it has no pain receptors. This is why you are awake during brain surgery without enough painkillers to kill the entire population of Africa.

It's called a composite photo. Use a tripod, take a bunch of pictures and head to town. The shadows can be a bitch.

[–]somnolent49 0 points1 point ago*

Take two simultaneous photos with two seperate cameras of people holding blank white cards, one in front of each camera.

Photoshop the respective photographs into the white cards on the other photo, recursively.

Posing twice would be a waste, and it brings up all the difficulties of trying to get each photo to look the same as the other one. By taking photo's at the same time, you eliminate all of this difficulty.

Edit: If you wanted to mess with people's heads a bit more, you should stick some element in the center of the scene which couldn't be easily replicated. Falling water, flame, a dog jumping after a mid-air frisbee, pretty much anything along those lines.

Edit2: To get even fancier than that, set up a ring of cameras/white cards all pointing inwards towards eachother. Ensure that you can see not only the front face of the card directly in front of each camera, but also the two cards in front of the adjacent cameras. Photoshop the camera image directly opposite of each camera into it's respective white card.

Now for the tricky/cool part, upload all of that into flash or some similar program, and allow somebody to navigate through the scene by clicking on any given white card, or card-within-a-card etc etc, causing you to fall forwards, move sideways, or any combination of the two, to any given depth, while recursively rebuilding the appropriate scene.

It'd take a few cameras and a dozen or so hours of work, but it'd definitely get you some karma when you uploaded it to reddit.

Correct me if i'm wrong: i also noticed that the trees in the main pic are all in full "bloom" (if that's the right term) whereas the trees in the inset pic a devoid of leaves -- maybe implying that the pics were taken months apart?

edit: nevermind -- on closer inspection, the trees in "bloom" look like perrenials

Well you see, sometimes someone posts a picture here, and then a month later, it gets posted again, and then a month later..... you get the point.

Its done by finding someone who has posted this picture and reposting.

[–]TheSunAlsoRises 5 points6 points ago

But the OP is not claiming to have found it, he/she is seeking wisdom on how it is done. We can't file this in the traditional repost folder.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well you see, you just go back really far in /r/pics and find something that got upvoted a lot. Then rehost it to imgur, and post it again. You seem to have it nailed.

The easiest way to do it would be to have him holding up a green card, then a simple Photoshop filter would let you easily insert whatever photo you wanted there, including the photo itself.
