I just discovered this and I have questions They’re joking right?

These things always start out as a joke. Then after a while people take it serious. Like the flat earth society and in some ways /r/birdsarentreal

-edit Forgot to include QAnon.

ahmadove t1_j5bpdb8 wrote

Don't know about flat earth, but I browse /r/birdsarentreal every now and then, they take the joke very very far sometimes, but I sincerely doubt anyone there doesn't know it's satire.

All birds aren't real? No, not a chance. Some birds aren't real? Absolutely possible/ probable. The tech exists now. Why not?

There is a reason I hate satire. The Colbert Report had a ton of people that lived near me that thought that was a very serious show.

I honestly feel satire causes more harm than good.

Nah none of those satir shows had net negative effects. Fox on the other had, they suck.

Uniqueusername5209 t1_j5clhw9 wrote

So… are they saying that Switzerland is so beautiful and surreal it seems fake? Like, how can something so otherworldly exist? The sidebar doesn’t clear anything up and I’m so confused!!

boldgoer t1_j5co05a wrote

I always took it exactly as that, but people in on the joke don't like it spoiled the few times I've explained it in the group to people who didn't get it (including some Swiss).

Very serene. What are those blue flowers?

nightcrawleress t1_j5ajh06 wrote

The ones at the front? There's a lightning effect, they're actually white and, if my quick research are correct, are Renoncule à feuilles d'aconite (idk in english)

Quetzalbroatlus t1_j5b0xz3 wrote

They look similar and I'm sure the family is correct but the petal count is completely different

5

CallingDoctorBear t1_j5bp4ej wrote

I also thought they might be alpine anemones/Pulsatille des alpes (Pulsatilla alpina). Do they generally have lower number of petals, or lose them together? I ask because there are many photos of them seemingly with similar and varying numbers of petals

5

Quetzalbroatlus t1_j5bpwoq wrote

Those look incredibly close. I'd be willing to bet it's that species, or maybe one very closely related.

Oh you're right! I thought about color and leaves shape and blindsided myself lol

acoretard t1_j5caaae wrote

I like it! Gotta ask tho, is this a stack of two different focus or stack of two different images (different locations)?

dasarpan007 OP t1_j5dp1pj wrote

Yes it is focus stacked for the flowers, same location but I failed a bit because it was so windy it was impossible to stack them gif

That raw photo is great, by the way. I didn’t doubt you personally, but I really like seeing the raw photo nonetheless. Makes it a lot more impressive for me.

dasarpan007 OP t1_j5e08qm wrote

That is totally fine. If people nicely ask that is totally fine but then there are these smarty pants replying every comments that I photoshopped the flowers from somewhere else.

acoretard t1_j5ec3fa wrote

Thanks for the reply! It just looks so surreal and now I appreciate more your shot hahah. Also nice to see the raw too ngl. There's so many composition photos that are "fake" (and which is fine) so people might doubt.

ThreeCheeseTeo t1_j5em0wc wrote

Yeah I'm tired of this flowers in the foreground, scenic mountainous background - style pictures. Whats your photo about? Where am I looking? The flowers are not that interesting to be the focal point (if so, frame them differently).

Imo go our there and do landscape photography, not this half assed shit. But we see nothing else here in the sub
