AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

πŸ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

πŸ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

πŸ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

πŸ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

πŸ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

πŸ“Έ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

This is a fantastic picture and a great fit for the sub. Sorry, community.

the first picture looks so staged. like a bad stock picture

[–] ButtDrugs@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago

Looks like a wedding photographer staged it after they for real dropped the ring and people dove in to help look.

Tom Cardy is the man. He's got stuff on Spotify I've never seen on YouTube/TikTok, too.

This song is amazing! Can't believe I've made it this far in life without seeing the video

Love Tom Cardy. His lord of the rings song is a constant rewatch favourite.

Y'all ain't from the Midwest are you? Half the people I know right now are in creeks like this looking for brown or pink rings and usually a fight or two.

[–] CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll show you a brown ring

My what a lovely tea party.

Mr and Mrs Adobe sounds like a nice person then.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

I don't know how much the ring was worth, but that picture and story are probably pretty close

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Did they find it?
