Looks like 3 stages of the same island. I knew it. Parts of Earth are procedurally generated!

That's the beauty of the universe, it's all procedurally generated!

Some say it's hand crafted!

Those people can't tell a watch from a walrus! Maybe the rules for the procedural generation were... For all I know the whole universe has been a graphics card benchmark for some being outside the realm of our perception. It seems unlikely but the beauty of not being able to know is that I can invent whatever I want.

Almost looks like something flew through the islands, into the sea.

What have you done to those clouds xD Those clippings are next lvl.... I hope it is because of compresion and upload and that original one is fine :D

DeepPanPizza69 t1_iunp66g wrote

I think it is just jpeg compression because the details are sharp, the edges are just jagged because of the loss of detail upon compression.

HeyTikO t1_iunq4e2 wrote

Probably just a heavy jpg compression so bots/peoples don't get the HQ version.

What happened there? Was it an editing accident, or didn’t expose right? Absolutely gorgeous shot otherwise!

They have no idea how difficult the clouds are in the Faroes 😉😂

brocahantas t1_iuni1v6 wrote

They’re sure as shit not pixelated like this lol

I’m guessing OP did some extreme cropping because they didn’t have a long enough lens.

KleioChronicles t1_iumoxpv wrote

Love the framing, not so much the editing or whatever is causing the grain/distortion that I can see on the rocks and clouds. I really love the lighting too, it really draws your eye through. 👍

MithridatesX t1_iup44jg wrote

I’m trying to work out how much of the graininess is just compression from getting the image small enough to upload.

According to local legends those separated rock formations are icelandic giants, Risin og Kellingin, envious that the Faroes were not part of Iceland. They tried to pull the island group to Iceland but took so long a time the sun turned them into stone. Been there, such a beautiful place, and interesting folklore everywhere

Clossix t1_iup8q17 wrote

This is true, essentially, Risin og Kellingin means “The Giant and the Bitch”

Why does it look like a dragon crashed and carved it's way through the top of each cliff, until it finally landed on the cliff closest to the camera and tumbled off into the sea.

sdurs t1_iumja47 wrote

I mean, my initial impression was a meteor of some sort.. but a dragon is cool

Nah aliens all the way. They crash landed there.

I was once playing GeoGuesr and was dropped in some farm in the Faroes. I was so shocked by the beauty I just kept moving around, exploring the place.

Absolute wonderland.

Was in Iceland earlier this year, do the ring road, it’s seemingly unlimited views such as this. I couldn’t suggest it more.

It looks like someone rested a large sword on a very cool stand, and the part next to the hilt rested on the largest cliff in the back, with lighter tip, and thus lighter groove, on the closest.

Which one takes out the u.s. eastern seaboard if it collapses?

Lotharofthepotatoppl t1_iuojf50 wrote

They’re just about midway between Norway and Iceland to the east and west and a bit north of Scotland, so it’d probably take several of these hitting the ocean from space to take out the US east coast, unfortunately

Nice! I went there in 2020, own car all alone. Ferry Denmark-Faroer-Iceland and back.

Same place

Was a nice hike and I made some impressive panoramic shots of the spot. Will do that trip again, best vacation ever.

Agh... It's such a beautiful landscape but the bit crunched colors just take it from an 8 to a 3 for me.

RileyGuy1000 t1_iurn4dq wrote

My goal definitely wasn't to make you feel bad. I personally just prefer to have the full color depth in pictures of landscapes such as this. Some people like it, others don't. If a lot of people like it then you're probably doing something right anyhow. Take my comment as my own personal opinion, not an objective judgement of whether or not your photography is good. I do apologize if my comment came off as dismissive or rude.

In fact I would say everything else about the photo is superb to me. You have great composition. Don't be discouraged by little old comments like mine, and keep doing what you love. :)
