Alright faggots, ChristmasFag has given us the news that he is retiring and it's up to someone else to make this years collage happen. That someone is me...and anon. Which means the annual Waifu video is still happening! So lets get this shit started.
Rules:
4:3 ratio
Decent quality
Some fucking effort put into your picture
I'm gonna try to get both this collage and video done by the time the last country enters December 26th so get on it, faggots!
Oh boy here we go
I guess I'll be the one making the collage. Will update as thread goes on.
>faggots
Brace for a lot of meme joke ones and bullshit.
Someone delete the last thread so I can repost my pic
Thanks Jebus. For future reference, its important to mention the deadline in the OP.
I just got off of work and still need to cook, so I'll post my picture in a few hours.
>>135185542
just be patient
>>135185542
Edit a single pixel in ms paint and save it. As far as 4chan is concerned, that is a different image.
I-I-S that good anon-kun ?
>>135185542
Just rotate it 90° and then rotate it back.
Feeling really comfy with Ritsu
Is it time?
Really glad that someone is going to carry on with it, I hope you guys will sort out the joke entries. Thanks for doing this and thanks to Christmasfag for dealing with it all these years.
Nothing fancy here, but I enjoyed emptying that bottleand some boxed winewhile rewatching the show and having some quality time. Merry christmas to all of you.
>>135185365
Jebus saves the day.
It's time
I love you Ai
>>135185622
>>135185689
try not to use flash if you can steady the camera on something.
RIP ChristmasFag, I hope you find your waifu on the other side
I wish I had a waifu ;_;
>>135185365
>>135185447
Thanks Jebus and Collage anon. It may not be the same thing, but, I think it's important to keep this tradition alive.
It's been a great year for the both of us, here's hoping the next year can be just as good.
Merry Christmas Kagura, and Merry Christmas /a/!
Sad to see ChristmasFag go, but at least he can finally be free. Free to live and actually fucking watch anime instead of talking about watching anime.
Anyway, Merry Christmas everybody! To you and your waifus.
Another Christmas, another year with my love, Neptune. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and another great year with their waifus.
>>135185715
It's /a/ tradition.
/a/lone with my waifu
thank you Jebus
>>135185365
>faggots
That isn't very Christmassy
>>135185365
>that fucking chicken
>>135185773
That Neptune (not PH) daki is cute. Where did you get it from?
>>135185767
>>135185769
>>135185773
so much merch, i'm jealous.
>>135185804
maybe it's meant in a nice way.
>>135185824
which neptune one? hung up or with the pillow?
Unfortunately I don't have the time to do anything too fancy since my family came in my home this year.
But Akari and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
>>135185850
Sorry. Hung up on the top-right.
>>135185728
I'm sorry about this, I made the picture hours ago and I ate the diner with Lain, I can't do it again. Thanks for the advice, i'll try to do better next time.
>have to choose between daytime with decent lighting or nighttime with proper Christmas atmosphere
Most important thing: take LOTS of photos. Do several for each way you light things, and try lighting it in many different ways. It's really tough to see how a picture will turn out before you take it. There's a reason you see professionals take photos rapidfire.
As for lighting: start by turning on all the lights you can (unless you're using candlelight). If you don't have enough lights, take some from elsewhere. Turn your monitor onto the lowest brightness setting. Then start adjusting both (while taking pictures) until the brightness of the monitor meets the brightness of your room. How can you tell when they're matched? By looking at the finished photos. That's why you take a ton of them.
After you take all the pictures, load them onto your computer without cleaning up. If you find one you like, roll with it. If not, get ready to keep taking pictures.
Does this sound like a lot of work? Good. Worthwhile shit is rarely easy. Oh, and try taking the picture from lots of different angles, too. It can only help in your final selection. During selection, elimination is probably the best way to do shit.
Hope that helps.
>>135185915
Don't worry, anon. Someday you'll be able to join us at rock bottom.
praise jebus
I had my night with Remilia a few days ago before traveling home to my family to spend christmas with them (just to explain the timestamp, if it causes confusion) and now I can't decide between 2 pictures I took back then, one with more light and one with less lighting.
I'll just post both and you decide which one to take.
As every year I had massive trouble with the lighting in my room because I'm a terrible photographer and had to take way too many photos until I finally got some that are at least semi-presentable, so please don't expect too much.
Pic related is the first picture. I'll post the second one in a minute.
>>135185970
Some others advice by a kind anon:
Turn your monitor onto the lowest brightness setting.
or use a polarization filter if you have one. Although if you do I probably don't need to tell you this.
- if you use a phone camera try some app that lets you set settings manually, especially exposure times and ISO values, this can help removing grain
- if you use a camera that has an USB port then tether it and use remote operation software if available
- don't use the flash.
- candle light or indirect incandescent helps for warmer color tones
- look for reflections of your light source on the monitor and see if you can place them differently or adjust the monitor angles
And tripod / some steady rest are important for low light conditions/long exposure times.
One could just cover up a lamp in the room behind some paper for some ambient light to go along with the candle. Better than no ambient and the candle drowning out the picture.
Just be careful to keep any covers fairly far from the bulb, especially if it's a hot-burning lamp (such halogen) or it could start a fire.
Once again, thank you for your years of service Christmasfag. You made all of us enjoy the holidays that much more.
Merry Christmas /a/, we may not always see eye to eye but we can still kick back and enjoy our precious time with our waifus. Seika and I will certainly enjoy ourselves better than last year's Christmas.
>>135185915
>I'm not sure if I pity you guys for having sunk this far or if I'm jealous that you've found a solution to the problem of crippling loneliness.
If you don't know the answer you shouldn't be on /a/
>>135185988
And this is the second picture with less lighting. Just pick whichever looks better to you.
Is this good enough?
>>135185773
can you give me some monney please i'm starving here
Homemade festive gingerbread with the Sakuya-tachi.
Merry Christmas /a/.
>>135186089
Inu-Saku is missing!
>>135186016
Festive as fuck.
>>135186048
A decent first attempt. Don't worry annon i'm sure you'll make it someday.
>>135185728
I'm sorry anon. Time was short, pie's all gone, and I don't have fluorescent lighting like in my valentine's day pic. That was my best shot with the limited resources I had. What really matters to me was that I had a even a little time with her.
>>135185902
tripod, long exposure time and incandescent lightsource will give good results during night time too.
>>135186047
This one. An over-lit room doesn't complement Remi at all.
Another year together. I hope you all have a wonderful day with your loved ones, Merry Christmas /a/.
hi im uzuki
Couldn't afford a cake this year so I made a lot of cookies instead. A lot. Merry Christmas Itsuki. I've loved her for 5 years and I will love her for many more
>>135186157
I wish I had nice food to share with mai waifu.
Merry Christmas Erza, and Merry Christmas /a/. I hope all of you are having a wonderful time with your waifus this time of year!
Also thank you Jebus and Collageanon for carrying on the torch after Christmasfag.
>jani deleting normalfag posts
This gives me hope.
I have a really shitty camera so i hope this is atleast somewhat up to par.
Merry Christmas to every tripfag, /a/non and everyones waifus in this thread and a happy new year!
>>135185895
Oh that one is doujin so it will be hard to find. Got it from Manda. Dont think there are anymore though. You can check.
A very Merry Christmas to everyone from Azusa and me.
I love her so damned much.
>>135186440
It's a Christmas miracle. We can beat the cancer just yet
>>135185781
what the fuck do you know about /a/ traditions you stupid tripshit
When is the deadline? Will this go on into Christmas day?
I want to participate but I won't be home until very late (GMT-5)
>>135186604
It goes on until Christmas has passed through everyone on the globe.
Seeing as it's still late afternoon on my end (at the tail end of the date line), there's still plenty of time left.
I'm sorry mine is so simple, but I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow morning, so I only managed to bake the mille-feuille.
Merry Christmas, /a/nons! May your love for your waifus be eternal!
>>135186712
I like your mousepad.
>>135186742
Thanks!
There was a smell filling up the room.
This sweet, poisonous aroma felt as though it melted the heart, if not the soul itself. It was the smell of that venomous green drink that the man couldn't bring himself to part from.
There are probably very few people who would associate this venomous colour, which filled the glass, with an alcoholic beverage.
Disregarding poor taste, the man took the glass that was standing right besides him and finished it.
"...I want to see it. I want to see it just one time. I want to see Beatrice's smiling face one last time. Oh, Beatrice, why have you resisted me for so long!? I'm prepared to lose everything! So please, show me your smile just once..."
"Beatrice, I beg of you! You must be able to hear my plea...that's the kind of woman you are! I beg of you, show yourself to me!! You're here, aren't you?! You're standing there invisible, listening to every word I say, and even now you're mocking me from somewhere in this room, aren't you?!"
"Please, appear before me just once and smile!! Feel free to scold me, even snatch away my life by your own hands if you wish!! I don't want to die alone like this!! I cannot let myself die until I've seen your smile just once!! Aah, Beatrice!"
"Beatrice!!!"I really hope Absinthe will finally let me see her just once. Just fucking once.
>>135186941
Nice to see you again Beato anon.
>>135186678
Oh, good. I participated last year and posted very late on Xmas day but still managed to get in - but seeing as a different anon is handling it, I was a little worried.
Thanks.
I want to participate but have no merchandise and nothing festive ...
>>135186941
Can't say I know enough about art to judge, but fucking grade A effort anon.
>>135187022
Same. I do have a Santa hat I can put on my monitor, and if I rummage through my attic, I might find something else. But I have nothing good to give my waifu yet.
>>135186951
Have you tried taking some pictures without the camera flash?
>>135187140
is not camera flash
<3
>>135186941
SICK dude
>>135187095
Cook something easy anon, I'm sure she will like it.
>>135187194
>>135186951
Put some effort into it. God damn.
>>135186941
It's nice to see Kinzo posting in this thread.
If I remember correctly you had another seacats painting to one side of your Beato, or am I mistaken?
>>135187093
It was the first time I've ever painted something in my whole life back in '10, never touched paints before. I'm working on 1,2x3m painting of Beatrice right now since I finally got enough skill to pull it off.
>>135187194
I hope this is a parody.
>>135187189
Well, it looks like there is a strong lightsource somewhere in front of the monitor and I think it might look better if that lightsource was turned off. I just assumed it was the flash.
>>135187306
Arent all of them parodys at this point or do people actually take this super serious?
>>135187365
At least two retards took it seriously so go figure.
>>135187365
I mean a parody of a poor quality photo, as a response to all the people so obsessed (and rightly so) with the quality of each picture.
>>135187365
Is there a way to get 4:3 ratio from aniPjone 4S?
>>135187505
Didn't mean to quote.
>>135187505
My phone had a built in cropper I dont know about iphones. Im sure you could find an app pretty quickly
Happy holidays from me and my husbando /a/!
>glorifying tripfags
What the fuck is wrong with you
>>135187505
Probably, yeah.
If you can't get it to work just take a 16:9 picture and crop it to 4:3 on your PC.
>moved my image over to my phone since I knew I would be out the rest of today and tomorrow
>image is 4.1MB
Fuck.
I'm going to spend Christmas playing games with my waifu. I got two pics but I can't decide which one is less shittier.
>>135187656
It shouldn't be too hard to scale the image down until it's less than 3MB.
There are a million image editing apps for all kinds of phones.
>>135187656
Post it on imgur. Hopefully it'll get put in.
>>135187656
Upload it on Imgur or something.
>>135187656
Upload it somewhere else and just post the link.
>>135187705
Or this.
I took this in November as I'm visiting parents for Christmas, and this was probably the best one out of the numerous shitty photos I took.
I don't expect to get into the collage, but I have fun doing these. Merry Christmas friends.
>>135187719
Yeah, I just don't want to fuck up the ratio when I crop/resize it, but I'm gonna look for a decent app.
>>135187729
>>135187727
>>135187737
If all else fails I'll just do that.
Sorry for the lack of christmas decorations all i got is this little snowman thing hope its good enough
Merry Christmas everyone!
Happy Holidays, anons. I hope you all have a good one and I wish you all the best of luck in the coming year.
As usual, I cooked some medium rare meat as usual since it's something I enjoy and feel she would enjoy as well. I also tried making some tiramisu which I will try after dinner; I'm hoping it turned out okay.I'll miss ChristmasFag, best wishes to him.
>>135187820
Just email it to yourself and select the phone's "large" option. It's what I generally do with mine.
>>135187857
Poop and fries? Looks tasty
FYI those of you using PNG can decrease their filesize dramatically without loss in quality using this
https://tinypng.com/
>>135187656
I believe you can do this on mobile
And of course we couldn't retire the tradition gracefully, it has to be forced to continue by some attention-whoring normalfag.
Oh well, I've done this enough times to not feel the need anymore. Merry Christmas to those of you who actually have waifus you love, and die in a fire to all the normalfags doing it to be part of the meme collage.
>>135185365
Here u go
We're both spending Christmas Eve this year without the one we love. But at least this way we can be lonely together.
Merry Christmas, anons.
>>135187910
Kill yourself.
>>135187902
Such an honored tradition. Thanks for the inspirational speech
>>135187889
You have god-tier taste, anon. She's the best.
>>135187910
Great job Anon! I'm in the same boat as you. Stuck on Ebrietas myself.
I love Kotori
>>135187897
Yeah it works, thank you anon!
First time doing this, and unfortunately this was the best lighting I could get. Love my waifuher own game when?and Merry Christmas to all my /a/nons.
>>135187914
That bird is so tiny holy shit.
I love it. Good pic anon, merry xmas.
Forgot about the 4:3 so the daki is just barely there
Satorin~
>>135187621
There's never been anything wrong with tripfagging as long as it's for its original purpose (verifying an identity in designated threads).
>>135188088
Cookies look delicious and at least your waifu is in the at-least-its-not-miku tier so yea. Cheers m80
Did the best I could for my beloved! Any chance we can get a confirmation that our pictures have been accepted, Jebus-senpai?
>>135187948
why the hate ??? anyone care to explain this??
>>135188158
>Jebus-senpai?
fuck off with this shit
>>135188148
That trip in particular has no purpose outside of attentionwhoring, and you're feeding him.
>>135188168
Its because saberfags are almost always cuckolds willing to let any anon fap to their waifu when asked.
>>135187789
don't be so down on yourself anon, that looks great. I hope you get into the collage. Have a merry christmas with mugi-chan!
>>135186712
>that mousepad
kek
>>135188207
>no purpose
If he took off the trip how would anyone know that a new thread was really made by him?
>>135188207
These threads have always been managed with a trip. Trips are always acceptable when somebody is making or doing something (same goes for live TLs).
>>135188221
>le cuckold saber meem
>>135188148
Jebus is a huge attention whore though he is nothing like ChristmasFag.
>>135188207
Merry Christmas, faggot, <3
Merry Christmas /a/
>>135188318
Are you actually saying Christmasfag (the organizer of the whole thing) using a trip to make threads (so people know the original organizer is making the thread) is the same as this normalfag retard using his trip to beg for attention? One serves a purpose, and the other is to feed his ego.
Merry Christmas everyone.
>>135188317
>>135188318
Not that anon but I agree with him, jebus is a attention whore and a shitty ronery fag. A trip is needed for this but he could of just created a new one instead of trying to stroke his epeen.
>>135188024
Thanks bud
Merry Christmas /a/!
something light this year
>>135188564
Is that a wine bottle?
Anybody got a link to the 2ch or japanese alternative?
>>135188490
Well I guess the images will be all tiny and compressed anyway, but that's a straight-up potato camera.
>>135188693
Honestly I would of resized it myself if i realized it be that bad. That was my phone camera, myvita camerawas only 480x480 for whatever reason. I took a fair amount of shots too, its too bad.
>>135188670
Just a cute decorative Santa.
>>135187890
kroketten en friet!
>>135188708
4chan and /a/ culture has folded in on itself a thousand times.
Merry Christmas!
A bit of a green Christmas up here in Canada. Decided to spend the day outside with my waifu. There is a lack of Christmas charm unfortunately so I understand if my picture is unacceptable.
>>135188600
looks comfy af
>>135189105
You again, it's like a family reunion. Do you only do outdoor pictures? Last time you had a beer on your laptop no?
Why do so many anons drink wine, in particular?
>>135185769
Didn't know there was a Momozono husbando.
She was pretty cute, though.
>>135189174
thanks, dude. Hoping to get some figures and tomatoes for february
I'll be going all out tomorrow! looking forward to seeing how nice a time everyone else had as well.
What was image limit again, 300?
I did one of theses once when I was drunk then regretted the morning after
reminder that visiting relatives doesn't stop you from quality time with the waifu
merry christmas /a/
>>135189430
I thought it was 250
>>135189462
Why did you regret it? Did something bad happen as a result?
Merry Christmas
>>135189518
its embarrassing
>>135189646
this is really cute
>>135189496
At least cook those carrots you fucking fraud
>>135189496
cerea deserves better anon
>tfw someone posted my waifu ITT
>but has shit pictures and shit light
Heh
But how do I make a picture if Mai waifu is /a/non?
>>135189707
HAZUKASHIIIII YO
>>135189760
i know
>>135189797
Who is it?
>>135189233
I've only done outdoor pictures yeah. Though I know there's at least another anon out there who lives close by a hill/mountain that also does outdoor pictures. I think the laptop and beer was his. This was 2 years ago however.
I ended up missing the thread last year.
Pic related was one 3 years ago.
2 days of baking.
>>135189900
Nice double dubs
I'm one of the Waifu Wednesday anons
>>135190053
Looks great, you're lucky she has so much merchandise.Nice R2
The lack of festivities kind of killed the mood, but this was the best I could do considering the fact that I'm being shipped off to Lebanon tomorrow for work. So an early Merry Christmas from me.
>>135185365
merry christmas /a/
>>135190131
Leb/a/non
Man this is crap. I'll try to do a better image later, but I'll leave this here for now.
>>135190101
Thanks. It was worth it.
>tfw you're waifu doesn't have merchandise
>>135190180
Oh wow! That's so cool! The desserts look so good.
merry christmas
>>135190495
Me and you anon ;_;
Alright, stole ChristmasFag's template. That being said, I will reject images that are not 4:3. So please crop your own image and resubmit if you do not see your image. However, there are some that did not seem like there was much effort. I cannot accept those. Also if there is something botched, tell me please.
>>135190606
Its worse if there is merchandise because you feel bad for not having it
>>135190666
forgot image.
>>135190495
Mine has tons, yet I didn't put any on the table during our date. Just didn't really feel right.
>>135185365
kill yourself attention whore
>>135190495
>tfw waifu has no merchadise too
>tfw I'm poorfag too
>tfw mine looked like there's literally no effort too
I'm too embarrassed to participate in this.
>>135190706
Well... Hopefully jebus includes me in his. Fuck you faggot
>>135190706
You missed a few good ones, and the thread is far from over, so you have time to go over it again instead of asking people to repost.
>>135190495
I know that feel
>>135190706
You really suck at this.
>>135190818
post man
it aint about the money, it's about the love
>>135190495
>tfw poorfag
>tfw waifu only has one figure and it costs more than 300$ in my currency
>>135190706
>>135190706
Looking good, thanks for your effort.
>>135190706
you missed mine...
I'm never going to do this again baka /a/non.
>>135190818
Good dessert doesn't cost a lot to make.
>>135190974
Yeah he missed me too. Just because im not autisticly anal about my picture doesnt mean I dont love my waifu
>>135190706
wow, mine wasnt even that bad. being this anal is just going to cost you in the end.
Posted in another thread but here we go
>>135190706
Well have fun with autistic anons mad because you didn't include their pics.
>Anons complaining about why Christmasfag didn't pick their shit image
Without counting Summer, this is the most normalfag time of the year, right?
I had some difficulty getting a proper balance on top of the strawberry, but I think it turned out OK.
Collage-kun don't listen to these fags. Please keep on going.
>>135191169
He missed a few genuinely good ones, so some complaints are legit.
>>135191169
Some of them were just fine through.
>>135191313
meanwhile shit like >>135189496 gets in, lol, what a joke
>>135191116
Comfy.
Merry Christmas, /a/. I hope you guys have a good holiday season with your respective waifu.
Okuu is best toho
>>135190913
But I don't want me and my waifu get shitposted, anon.
>>135190820
This is pretty much the reason why I put out a video. Stuff that's not that great still has a chance to get in.
Time for normalfags pretending to fit on /a/.
>>135185365
>>135191616
What are you singing this time around?
Eli-chan, I'm sorry I'm not at home with your two figs and three nendos, so this chocolate cake was all I could do orz. Since chocolate is your favorite food, I hope you enjoy eating it as much as I enjoyed baking it for you!
I love you my dear Eli.
This year I need to get this figure
>>135188128

>Keyboard is a fucking G15
Dude wat.
Another year with my beloved one. It's my third year with her and my second participation here. I know the quality is not the best but I have a shit cam and I really don't care if I get into the collage or don't. So I just hope everyone have a great christmas and a happy new year.
>>135191880
>>Cathodic screen
>implying there is anything wrong with it
I agree with you on the rest. What the fuck man.
>>135191871
Your waifu's anime OST is the best
>>135191871
Nice collection nonetheless.
>>135191871
Good taste brethren.
Hoping for a S2 too.
>>135191871
That's a man you know.
>>135192097
H-here's to another year with Kanzaki.
Merry Christmas, anons.
>>135191999
Nowadays a flat screen is cheaper and offer better quality and save up space tho, no?
>>135192184
CRTs still have the best colors.
And are great to watch old anime on.
I know it could be better, but it's almost 5 am here and I'm quite drunk, so I hope it's good enough.I'm pretty sure it looked better in the original resolution, but oh well, 4:3 works as well
Merry Christmas faggots, love you all.
Merry Christmas /a/!
T-thanks for the photo and frame too Anon...
>>135191871
I loved your waifu's anime and I really hope for a S2. It truly deserves it.
>>135191479
I remember you

Most of us can barely understand one another, much less agree about something. But that's what makes Anon Anon. The animosity, the malcontent, the hostilities we see every thread. Yet it's threads like this that bring us closer than ever. Have a merry Christmas, you faggots.
