I try to make something that looks good (or at least doesn't look like random static) by running pictures I've taken through audio editing software. There are some extra steps that go into it to "trick" the program into importing the picture as if it were a sound file, making sure the header (information that tells your computer that this is a picture) doesn't get fucked with, and then exporting the data in a way that it will be saved as a picture and not an mp3 or something else.
On the rare occasion I do bring it up, I can literally watch people's eyes glaze over. Until I show them a picture
Edit: internet is really bad right now, will reply with an image when I can
Edit2: picture was too big at 7MB. Hopefully a screenshot of the picture doesn't look too bad
Looks pretty good, like some Rorschach test. War sit a picture of trees?
It was! Taken during the winter so there were no leaves, and at night too
Do you have the original?
Here is the original. Just a picture from my backyard looking at the neighbor's house and then i did some cropping after the audio software fuckery
Wow! What a difference!
Not at the moment, but it should be floating around somewhere on my computer at home. I'll try to remember to find it after work
you just post the link to image hosted on imgur.com or catbox.moe, don't really need to upload to lemmy itself. Like this -
