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.

How does one accomplish a shot like this?
-Amateur photographer

[–]josh_the_nerd 17 points18 points ago

-Early morning for great light -Ultra-wide angle lens -most of your settings (shutter, aperture, ISO) depend on the light in your situation. The light meter will help you so much. (I'd suggest an f10 though) -White Balance will be either AWB or something in the 3000 - 4000 k range -increase contrast and vibrance post edit in PS

It is a great shot. I wish it were bigger.

I think he uses the HDR technique.

[–]blink-me 2 points3 points ago

Shhh, don't say HDR. The hivemind will know and start downvoting this!

[–]Darwinning 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes. Zsolt Zsigmund, or Reality Dream, is a big user of the HDR technique, and has even gone so far as to capture pictures with moving things in these photos, which i have no idea how he does

[–]fancy_dave 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

he makes "fake HDRs" so one shot, and change the exposure afterwards in photoshop/lightroom

[–]mattindustries 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Dammit, I had a whole thing typed up ready to be saved about how he might just process his images to look like that, but then noticed an HDR tutorial on his website that he offers. I figured if I could get this shot from a single exposure on my point and shoot he could make some epic things with a nice camera and lens. The sky is what made me think he didn't use HDR, but it looks like he just knows how to use HDR well. Either way, he creates pleasant images.

What Skyrim mod is this? I've tried ENBSeries shaders, the FXAA post-injector, and "Realistic Skyrim V3", but this puts them to shame.

Somewhere in Hungary is the best I can figure out. The photographer lives in Zsédeny, Hungary, so probably somewhere in the surrounding countryside.

My ideal place to live when I'm older is this.A log cabin up in the mountains with a view next to a stream for fresh water/irrigation. Grow my own crops/food to be self sustaining, live life how I want and with who I want to share my life with and forget about the messed up world we live in. Be my little declaration of independence.

Or a hell-beast from the beyond. Actually, I think it's just shadows from the way the ground is beveled from drainage. I mean a hell-beast.

The hipster race track.

[–]mikemcg 2 points3 points ago

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

Why did you feel the need to call it a hipster race track? How do you even come to that kind of conclusion?

[–]Durpadoo 4 points5 points ago

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

I could see hipsters holding a race there. What's your problem?

[–]mikemcg 1 point2 points ago

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

And why's that?

My problem's mostly with the rampant and nonsensical use of the word "hipster" to label just about everything these days.
