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.

Why are the stars closer than the clouds?

[–]gbi 102 points103 points ago

Because absinthe, that's why.

[–]lajksdgbiu 2 points3 points ago

This is the credited response

[–]Sleepy_One 4 points5 points ago

Maybe they were fireworks all along.

[–]Kalahan6 0 points1 point ago

And that plant in front is freaking gigantic.

[–]SHAME_CUM_AND_FARTS 7 points8 points ago

THATS A PLANT!? I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME WEIRD SPIRALLY TOWER THIS WHOLE TIME.

[–]Kalahan6 -1 points0 points ago

Apparently it's some sort of tree but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be 3 time the size of that church tower.

[–]FrenchChic16 2 points3 points ago

It's a cypress tree.

[–]Acholous_Cognoscente 27 points28 points ago

You can thank the Doctor and Mrs. Pond for that one.

[–]Uppercut58 2 points3 points ago

My favorite episode, BTW.

[–]ryan_byan_bo_byan 18 points19 points ago

I prefer this one.

[–]ihithim 18 points19 points ago

One day, when we are very old, someone will combine these two and everything shall be right with the gifs of the world.

[–]Shadradson 3 points4 points ago

I am working on it right now. I have never been so into a project in my life.

[–]0ericire0 0 points1 point ago

Is there actually a process you can follow to combine these two gifs?

[–]Shadradson 0 points1 point ago

No, I am doing it from scratch. I am fairly proficient in after effects, and photoshop.

[–]RedPandaMediaGroup 0 points1 point ago

I was about to do it myself when I noticed you had already started. Only commenting to keep notified. I wanna see what you come up with.

(i'll also we wondering how you do the swirls. The 3D is the easy part IMO)

[–]Super_duper_cereal 2 points3 points ago

With enough psilocybin you can get the original painting to do this as well

[–]zulu90 35 points36 points ago

[–]S1LW3R 16 points17 points ago

any tutorial or something to make things like this? please?

[–]vvgldv 10 points11 points ago

Really simple. It's a flip image, a form of stereoscopy. You take two two-dimensional pictures taken the same distance apart as your eyes are, make a gif. Play in loop. An illusion of depth is created.

You can make your own on the website of the NY Public library. I just made one:

http://stereo.nypl.org/view/38566

Edit: You have to experiment a little. Each image combo needs a different distance, for best results set [View as animated gif] on 'fast' and move the frame until it nearly stands still.

[–]Mustkunstn1k 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, if you are dealing with photographs. But this thread has 3D art.

[–]S1LW3R 1 point2 points ago

Thanks it will be cool to take my own pictures 3d!

[–]Psythik 1 point2 points ago

Yeah but how does one learn to draw in 3D? Cross-eyed technique?

[–]alphanovember 0 points1 point ago

That wasn't drawn, it was rendered.

[–]Psythik 0 points1 point ago

I'm talking about the other pics in this thread.

[–]alphanovember 0 points1 point ago

So am I.

[–]RepostThatShit 1 point2 points ago

It's really hard to give you a paint-by-the-numbers guide for how to make art. If what you want is to recreate what this artist has done, then you'll need 3D modelling software, but this is not a simple piece to create and there's no single tutorial that could possibly cover all the different skills you'll need to develop to make this for yourself.

[–]S1LW3R -1 points0 points ago

i know i just found the name on the internet of that photographing style and i found some photos of people throwing shiny dust or something to air in 3d i will try to learn it and show to my uncle (who is professional photographer) and will tryor a new learner

[–]fastf00dknight 0 points1 point ago

here's a website that will let you make your own, using a photo or any other image: http://www.3defy.com/modeler

[–]flashfrost 2 points3 points ago

What is the name of this painting?

[–]Radtown 3 points4 points ago

Seems to be Dain Fagerholm. Here's another

[–]MagicMothafucka 0 points1 point ago

All of these '3D' things are super awesome.

[–]Psythik 1 point2 points ago

There was a whole gallery of these posted about a year back. Anybody remember what I'm talking about?

[–]A_1337_Canadian 0 points1 point ago

Here is one that I found. Probably not the same one, but it's still cool.

[–]Psythik 0 points1 point ago

Yeah it's missing a bunch.

[–]psYberspRe4Dd 0 points1 point ago

There needs to be a subreddit for this stuff !

[–]Doggerel 5 points6 points ago

Has anyone ever animated a short movie in this 3D technique? I'm wondering id it would be 'watchable' or just induce nausea. . .

[–]Cafuzzler 4 points5 points ago

I think this might work if it is an animated dubstep music video...

[–]Doggerel 2 points3 points ago

That idea rocks! Now, if only I had talent, or an attention span of more than . . . Ooh! Look! A chicken!

[–]youRFate 0 points1 point ago

i was listening to doomsday by nero while looking at OPs picture and thought of an art installation :D

[–]themagictoast 8 points9 points ago

You mean Vincent Van Whoaff?

[–]SuperKlydeFrog 5 points6 points ago

just in case readers don't get it: his name is pronounced 'GOFF' not 'GO', therefore it should be 'Whoaff'.

languages. am i right?

[–]farewelltokings2[S] 3 points4 points ago

Meh.

[–]SanguinePar 1 point2 points ago

Depends - if you believe Qi (BBC show about quite interesting facts for those who don't know it) it's neither GOFF nor GO but actually HUUGHH (with a kind of phlegm-y sound at the end)

So it'd be Vincent van Wuughh.

As a Dutch person I can confirm that this video teaches you the right pronunciation.

"Don't try this at home" is solid advice, by the way.

[–]norahceh 14 points15 points ago

Cool Starry Bro

[–]aroymart 3 points4 points ago

is there a subreddit for this kind of thing?

[–]bbbobertson 9 points10 points ago

[–]Probulator 0 points1 point ago

Holy crap!

Thanks!

No, but a website: http://stereo.nypl.org/

[–]speed_demon92 3 points4 points ago

As someone who's never seen a tree of that type in real life, it took me until I saw it moving to realize that ISN'T a great big castle/mountian thingy on the left. My whole life has been a lie.

[–]TaxCunts 7 points8 points ago

I'm too high for this shit

[–]thepoultron 7 points8 points ago

So this is what LSD is like...

[–]gerre 5 points6 points ago

Kinda

[–]ryosuke727 1 point2 points ago

Dubstep music played in my head.

[–]Zenike 0 points1 point ago

Is this real life?

[–]betafish37 5 points6 points ago

Is this going to shake forever?

[–]Vaywen 1 point2 points ago

Nah man, it stops after 29 minutes.

[–]FJsoccer17 1 point2 points ago

Spectacular.

[–]WhaleProbe -1 points0 points ago

Why are the moon and the stars in the foreground?

[–]Maslows_Revenge 1 point2 points ago

It's not real.

[–]AcidWashAvenger 0 points1 point ago

That represents a loooot of work in after effects. It's nicely seamless, I think.

[–]mikeymikemam 0 points1 point ago

try and find something in the painting that's holding still

[–]Trifur 1 point2 points ago

It takes a large image to really appreciate the original.

[–]sinedup4 1 point2 points ago

why is the moon in the foreground?

[–]NikeRoxSox 1 point2 points ago

I clicked on the link at the same time as Light by Elli started playing on my computer. Now that's whoa.

[–]cappa16 0 points1 point ago

Stared at that for a good 7 minutes.

[–]ElGuano 0 points1 point ago

Is thee a way to make it slower?

[–]LoneWave -1 points0 points ago

This should be posted in r/trees XD

[–]ebt158 0 points1 point ago

im too hungover for this.

[–]The_Infinite_Cool 0 points1 point ago

[This](www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsmgNWf9a60) Started playing when I clicked that link. Being a hungover bastard, you can imagine how tripped out I felt, when they started to move at the same appx. beats per min.

[–]Hopulus -1 points0 points ago

You should cross post this to /r/woahdude

[–]wallieburger 0 points1 point ago

I KNOW KUNG FU.

Makes me want to play GW2 ... don't know why

[–]Lauren_squish_H 0 points1 point ago

this is so cool

[–]TimothyGonzalez 0 points1 point ago

When pronounced correctly "van Gogh" doesn't rhyme with "Whoa"! ;)

Sorry for the smart-assery, but in my defense; I'm Dutch.

[–]Technolog 0 points1 point ago

Is there higher resolution? I'd like to have it (with slower motion) as my wallpaper.

[–]T0mmyTsunami -1 points0 points ago

broke my elbow and tore a ligament in my arm. on hard pain meds. this is sweet. upvote.

[–]a_simple_lampoon 0 points1 point ago

would be a nice addition to /r/woahdude

[–]OhMyGoshAPanda 0 points1 point ago

Woah :D

[–]Leehae831 0 points1 point ago

That's really beautiful! I have a print of this in my living room. _^

[–]MrPinkFloyd 0 points1 point ago

It's amazing that it still looks 3d, even with one eye closed!

[–]ShawnDawn 0 points1 point ago

I always wondered how one does this..hmm. What a pretty starry night.

[–]psYberspRe4Dd 0 points1 point ago

Also was on /r/woahdude - but there needs to be a subreddit for just those gifs..

[–]pugzlie18 0 points1 point ago

If you want the real 3D effect it needs to be faster.

[–]fuzzydunloblaw 0 points1 point ago

That'd make a good live/scrolling wallpaper for android.

[–]teious 0 points1 point ago

Shouldn't the moon be static?

[–]Jubei_08 0 points1 point ago

There's a subreddit for animated Impressionist paintings, isn't there?

[–]Tronosaurus 0 points1 point ago

My bro and a fellow ent actually has this poster in his room, 3d and all. He's actually the one who took me out for my first toke up.

[–]Oneironaut2 0 points1 point ago

Someone needs to make a 3D model of this that I can explore with the Oculus Rift.

[–]agaiwa 0 points1 point ago

Hahahah I work for the company that produced this :) 3d Van Gogh sells like crazy

[–]disposable_me_0001 0 points1 point ago

when I was in 2nd Life, there was a section of the world that looked like this painting. It was very trippy.

[–]DontBreatheThis_ 0 points1 point ago

Is there any way to speed up this GIF?

[–]Arrancar013 0 points1 point ago

is there a sub-reddit for just these pictures?

[–]afromthec 0 points1 point ago

One does not simply keep their heads still while looking at this...

[–]eltigretom 0 points1 point ago

A whole new perspective

[–]RICH_LITTLE 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, 3D's okay, but is it Scratch and sniff? If not, i'm not interested.

[–]Netcob 5 points6 points ago

It's definitely scratch&sniff. You just need to scratch really hard. Go on!

[–]PosiedonsSaltyAnus 4 points5 points ago

Smells like my blood.

[–]Perpetual_Entropy -2 points-1 points ago

Can somebody make this loop, it's hard to get the full effect on 1 play. DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

[–]AnOkayThrowaway 0 points1 point ago

It loops for me...

Apologies, my laptop was acting up earlier.
