THIS GUY! I was laying in to him on reddit just a few days ago for him consistently claiming that his pictures are single photographs, when he then says the same photographs are made up of 'multiple shots'. It's no difference from fake imaging we've had since before photoshop ever existed. Intentionally screwing with the development to create something that has never been seen by the naked eye. And yeah, the problem is him posting it to r/earthporn which specifically is for real scenes that look like real life, and not posting to r/photography or r/pics, while only reluctantly admitting that the shots are composites. This one, by him, posted in r/earthporn does confuse me a lot: https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/comments/a8tzbf/top_down_view_of_the_bottom_of_a_glacier_river_in/ https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/comments/a8tzbf/top_down_...

As in the latter the only reference I see to multiple shots is for a panorama (which is possibly the least-controversial way of combining multiple exposures). > r/earthporn which specifically is for real scenes that look like real life Is it? There’s nothing in the subreddit’s rules about that. In fact its rules specifically state: “Panoramas, Image Stacks, Composites, and images edited via Photoshop or similar software are allowed”.

In fact its rules specifically state: “Panoramas, Image Stacks, Composites, and images edited via Photoshop or similar software are allowed”. Yes, but there are finer rules about different things. Super long-exposing the sky in 1 photo and a lake in another for a night shot looks cool, but is not a landscape photo for earthporn, since it usues techniques to make the actual landscape darker and it could be moderated away usign the 'silhouettes' rule, but they seldom are. They shouldn't be there at all (as stated in the extended FAQ but in sky/space/water/whateverporn instead). The picture I linked above needs to be a 'natural landscape', but isn't a landscape at all, and probably has never looked like that to anyone seeing it, ever.
