What do you see in this picture?

[Paladin-X]

I'm curious to know. I only see the literal details, such as green grass and cloudy sky. I understand how an NF would see this picture, but I want to know what an NT sees in it.

Take about 30 seconds and tell me what you see in the pic.

Thanks!

Bad link.

 

[Paladin-X]

Fixed!

Well, I believe I am an ISTP. Though I thought for a long time that I was an INFJ. I understand now how NFs tend to see things. I am curious how NTs differ.

 

[Montresor]

Fixed!

Well, I believe I am an ISTP.

Me too.

Details. I see a sea of details.

 

[own8ge]

I'm an INFJ. And I don't see anything in this picture.
"Museum art" for instance, I often can look at for 'hours'.

I'm curious though, what do you see in this? (I made it myself)

I see people sitting on top of what appears to be small planets floating above the clouds while meteors rain down.


Most intuitive-feelers that I've given this test to, see a story and/or abstract details (such as vast, empty, etc) in the picture I showed.

Interesting.

Waiting idle and powerless while the world around you is taken down, unable to intervene.

The esteemed self, immune but ineffective. Forced to watch and know, and understand.

Trapped. Safe and sound, yet not content with the security of knowing.

Unfulfilled.

Yeah, I was kinda bored by it and just saw what was literally there. I get more of a response from the evocative (show me Giger, for example), not the surreal. (I have the same kind of response to Dali, but this picture was even less inspiring than Dali.)

The concept of people sitting on planets isn't bad, but it wasn't done in a way I could appreciate, it was far too literal and straight-on.

I see the inside of a hollow Earth. But it looks like the Sun is about to burn through. Shame, that.

Chicken?

 

[Cavallier]

Lying here like I am with my tablet in front of my face I kind of get the feeling I'm lying in the grass of the photo. I feel like I am a part of the picture. Otherwise? Yeah, just details. It is an interesting perspective because it makes you feel involved in the picture but that's all I'm getting out of this.

 

[Minuend]

It seems to be more focus on the shallow beauty than any meaning behind it.

Meh.

 

[Fukyo]

It's a pretty photo. That's about it. I feel like those who'd immediately be compelled to wax poetics about it are probably bullshitting.

 

[Obsidian]

Only thing I notice is that it's a pretty photo, and that it seems to be fake based on the extremely bent horizon.

 

[own8ge]

Chicken?

Chicken?

 

[Turniphead]

and that it seems to be fake based on the extremely bent horizon.

This is a joke right?

Anyway...

I see a wide angle shot of some grass and sky/sun/clouds. Fairly static and boring, not very compelling.
The photos next to it however, are a fair bit more interesting.
This one for instance... I see some of the details, but for the most part I am more affected by the overall mood of the image which seems to be feeling based and happens almost instantly.

 

[bartoli]

I see the point of view of an ant

 

[own8ge]

This is a joke right?

No, I myself considered that too. (Only I, would have used a different argumentation than he did XD)

 

[Turniphead]

Sooo... it looks fake because people aren't familiar with any form of curved lenses including things like peepholes on doors?

If anything there is probably some HDR(high dynamic range) editing going on, that would make it stand out as fake.

 

[own8ge]

Sooo... it looks fake because people aren't familiar with any form of curved lenses including things like peepholes on doors?

That's why I would use a different argumentation. I am observing the picture, not how it is being made. The picture itself (that what is visible), is not the lens, it is the effect of the lens. You can see a bend horizon (How that was being done/made, is irrelevant in this picture IMO).
"What is the meaning of a bend horizon?" (As it is a picture of a horizon..), So I wonder.. What was the purpose of showing us a bend horizon? There isn't much else to think about... The bend horizon doesn't give an earthly effect, Thus it isn't real in that perspective. And that's what he means with it being fake, I think.

 

[Obsidian]

It's not just the weird horizon. The colors in general look photoshopped.

 

[own8ge]

Yes it's Photoshopped. I can tell with certainty. ^^

 

[Turniphead]

Hence why I mentioned the (likely) HDR.


Ok.. 90%(yes I made that up) of the photos on flickr are photoshopped. Well, it could actually just be in camera HDR rather than photoshop.

I guess I'm just too used to fisheye shots(not that I'm overly fond of them).

/pedanticness

 

[own8ge]

I hate fisheye shots. ISTPs love them though.
e.g. Skateboard movies, they 'all' use fisheyes.

 

[Turniphead]

Yup... I feel similar. I have actually filmed parts of a few BMX videos while avoiding the use of fisheyes... to the annoyance of some of the people I was filming.
They can be necessary in small spaces though.

 

[own8ge]

They can be necessary in small spaces though.

Interesting. I acknowledge this indeed.

 

[Obsidian]

Honestly, I consider it "fake" even if the fakery was created through an unusual lens and not (just) a computer.

 

[Turniphead]

All images are fake*. Even what our eyes perceive is only part of the visible spectrum.
Maybe by fake you mean... "Not similar to average human vision." ?

*not an accurate representation of reality

 

[own8ge]

I made a piece a while ago, but no 1 seemed to be able to appreciate it. (understand it as I intended). And as this forum is rather honest, and me being an 'idealistic feeler', can anyone appreciate this? Or is it just shit. XD

Spoiler

 

[Nezaros]

Chicken?

On closer inspection, that thing to the far right is not actually a chicken.

 

[The Gopher]

Hahah, let’s see how much flowery description we can fit in here.

The centerpiece, the sun a symbol of hope shining through the clouds. It draws all too it, clouds, grass, even the very horizon curves towards it like a yoyo. The grass reaches up towards it; like humans it strives to grow and reach out but will soon wither away. As the clouds are drawn to the sun the rain is gone; all good will leave the land as darkness descends.



Or... something like that

 

[Brontosaurie]

grass blades and sky in a rather skewed, uncomfortable and blunt textural composition

i'm not gonna claim to see anything beyond that just to prove i'm Ne

 

[Montresor]

I feel like this dart was aimed in my direction.

If it is the case, you possibly overlooked some important info, @Fukyo.

It it was aimed elsewhere (like just up at the sky), then just leave 'er be.

 

[Fukyo]

lolque? Didn't even read your post (but now I will go back and do it). Anyway, it's not a dart, but an opinion.

 

[ILYGodney]

Boring but kind of nice details

Not a very Fi answer is it?

I see what a field mouse would see if it got hold of a camera with a convex lens.

A globe/glass ball in the grass.

[C.Hecker88]

This kindof makes me feel left out, but I saw an inverted sort of picture. My eyes saw the sky as its own planet. I saw the grass as a green space.

Hmm I saw it more as an in-curved planet where the sun never sets like the inside of a ball. (but I chose to ignore that for the sake of having to have a sun set in my silly story)

The position of the sun in respect to the view makes it seem as if the sun is being used as a guide, and the the view is so low you can't see over the grass kind of like not being able to see your future. So the picture could represent the journey to someplace "one step at a time".

"It's lonely at the top" ? People are isolated on their own worlds(egos) high in the sky, away from everyone else.

 

[Hadoblado]

I see the cocave horizon and immediately my thought turn to the simplest mosel that could support this picture without photo alteration: a shallow dip in an lawn in which the camera is placed.

Having satisfied my need to identify the physical consistency of the photo, I can then appreciate the detail of the grass, and how it behaves differently to what I would expect from this angle. It's not that I don't know what grass looks like, but being a tall chap with a bad back, average eye sight, and zero intrinsic interest in grass, I very raraly find myself close enough to actually look at it from any perspective other than from directly above.

Other than the grass, all there is are clouds. Clouds are interesting to look at, as they are constantly in sight, but always difficult to put to scale. Trying to rotate a cloud in your head is difficult, and accurately estimating the distance from yourself to the cloud is impossible without some background understanding that I lack. All the depth cues are confused, and this makes them worth a second glance.

 

[Starswirl]

The cloud/grass picture...well...unnerved me a bit. It may have been in part the seemingly concave ground, but those clouds seemed menacing.

The picture just felt disturbing. Or maybe just strongly intriguing. So what do I think of it? It confused me.

 

[Alice?]

To me, it looked like how the world would seem if you lay dying on the grass during your last breath. Like the world was swallowing you.
Cheery, I know.
That being said, it's not a particularly great or inspiring picture.

 

[Niclmaki]

Looks like a black square to me.

 

[QuickTwist]

I agree with your analysis Mr. cubed spuared.

The second picture has both patterns and randomness.

 

[Paladin-X]

Looks like a black square to me.

Click the link. I don't know why a black box is forming.

 

[QuickTwist]

Life as it should be.

Doh, I just kept clicking on the black square thinking that was the link -_-. I got it now.

Looks strange, made me think of a tornado how everything seemed to be spinning. Then I thought it was like a picture from an asteroid with grass on it looking down at the earth.

I asked my brother as well and he said "Grass and the sky - I don't know what else there is" I think he took the question too literally.

This kind of made me think of how everyone really is in "their own world" but still all apart of the same one. It just being up in the sky made me think that's the kind of feel it was supposed to give. An "airy" "in your head" kind of interpretation.
