Those plants look evil

That's because Switzerland is fake. Check out r/switzerlandisfake there's tons of evidence there.

Can anybody identify those plants? I want to order some seeds!

NekoArtemis t1_j66rgm2 wrote

Google lens says cirsium spinosissimum, the spiniest thistle. Looks right. Grows in the right environment.

It be like that sometimes. I have a similar shot of the late afternoon sky in Switzerland. It looks fake but it’s not.

LinnunRAATO t1_j67vjg0 wrote

It does kinda look edited. I have seen hot pink skies, but I don't think they ever cast pink light on the surroundings? Not to say it's not possible, just my observation.

maybelle180 t1_j6a0lej wrote

I dunno, maybe my eye isn’t that good- I can’t tell if it’s casting pink light or if the purple is just overwhelming since it’s above and below the landscape. Here’s mine, totally untouched, for comparison. https://imgur.com/a/epVGN4X

Aw, pretty photo. Yes, the lake and horizon fog could be attributing to it.

TheTallerTaylor t1_j64v8qa wrote

Amazing shot! Can you tell us more about your technique to capture this? Is it a single exposure? Different focal length for the mountains for a perspective adjustment?

53

dasarpan007 OP t1_j655d0k wrote

Yes, multiple shots with same shutter speed & settings, but focussed at different points as the plants in the immediate foreground are quite closed. Not different focal lengths for this image as those peaks are quite big, however, I use that technique from time to time.

Focus stacking?

that_guy_you_kno t1_j665ixw wrote

You're either incorrect or lying to people. An exposure is a shutter cycle. If you blend multiple shutter cycles into an image it is not by definition a single exposure.

TrebekCorrects t1_j668ybv wrote

Yes that is, by definition, multiple exposures but at different focal planes.

FLATLANDRIDER t1_j66bjtd wrote

Yea this person is wrong. If you ended up with multiple files that you then stacked/blended together to make the final image, then the image is by definition a multiple exposure image.

To put it another way; the camera sensor was exposed multiple times to capture the image, hence being a multiple exposure image.

10

TrebekCorrects t1_j66ccxb wrote

When I read their initial setup, I wondered how tf they could rack focus from the plants to the mountains during a single shutter click without lens warping or any blurring.

eye_spi t1_j6630u8 wrote

Is this a distinction made possible by digital cameras/photography? What limited experience I have is from traditional film, and I have trouble envisioning what you say in that context.

5

FLATLANDRIDER t1_j66bmxd wrote

The sensor was exposed multiple times to take the image though. It's a multiple exposure image.

grayrains79 t1_j66kwya wrote

TIL that photography is a lot more complicated than I thought it was.

ipoopedonce t1_j65mn4g wrote

Can you give the focal length? And general angle to take these photos? Beautiful by the way

6

dasarpan007 OP t1_j65o708 wrote

Most of these kinds of shots are taken at 15 mm (which is the widest I have available). The angle totally depends on what I want in my composition, for example in this shot I wanted that stream and the whole reflection of the mountain in the midground, so I was higher from the ground. In some shots, there is nothing interesting in the midground, and so I am more closed to the ground and immediate foreground. Hope it helps

barangala t1_j67hk3o wrote

Cirsium spinosissimum - Alpen-Kratzdistel or in english Thorny Thistle

WildlifePhysics t1_j65hhnn wrote

Feels very artificial (e.g. too much pink/purple and smoothing), but pictures of the Alps are always nice.

Most places USA bleed a patient dry before actually helping at all. Free service isn't anywhere in this capitalism dystopia. But don't worry, I'm not going to off myself. All a person really needs is a backbone, a wishbone, and a funnybone. Lucky I've got all three.
