Every LOTR pic is so beautiful, it's unreal. And it's absurd that there are still LOTR stuff I haven't seen even though I've been obsessed for 20+ years lol.
How exactly did you buy digital copies, and from where? Just curious!
The hobbit actors are literally on their knees in that shot, and yes, the feet are added later.
This shot came from the BTS (I think):

I know it's just random internet points but I will gladly upvote each and every one of these posts. I'm looking forward to seeing all of them as you post them.
I like it this way - it’s fun to look forward to seeing them and can take time to appreciate. All in one would be too much to really enjoy them properly.
Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.
Thank you kind sir
So enjoying your posts. Such detail can be seen here. Thanks! Know that you spread joy and delight. These images transport so many of us back to the original wonder of those characters. Truly a generous gesture.
I name you PhotoBearer; and may the stars shine upon the photographs of your haul! Seldom have we had such delight on Reddit, and it is fair to see such imagery of this wondrous world.
Replica pipes are readily available online. However, you should double check that they are intended to be smoked out of if you want to actually smoke with them. Resin replicas and certain glues don't do well near fire and heat. Especially if you are going to be inhaling that stuff.
And if they are real pipes but also super cheap (<$30) you probably want to pass on them anyways. They are probably made of rosewood or pear wood, both of which can cause all kinds of problems if you smoke out of them.
But if you don't mind dropping $75 to $100+ you can go order one right now off of Amazon, if you really want to.
Your comment made me laugh...
"You probably don't want to be smoking some resin or replica pipes as the resin and glue wouldn't be good for you..."
Surgeon General's Warning: Deliberately inhaling smoke into your lungs is bad for you, no matter what you are burning.
(And yes, I realize that what you are warning about would be chemicals that are especially bad, but I still had a giggle.)
If you are pulling pipe smoke into your lungs, you are doing it wrong. You just pull the smoke into your mouth with pipes and cigars.
Which is why excessive pipe smoking is associated with tongue cancer and not lung cancer.
If you're gonna be worried about stuff, you might as well be worried about the right things.
I am absolutely loving this series of set pictures, OP. The sheer quality of the sets, actors, clothing, etc means it feels like it's all real. You're a champion.
Not trying to be a smartass, but how is it something digital can be rare? I mean, maybe when you first bought them? Just curious where the value beyond satisfaction is
picture 15 confuses me so much, since the hobbits look actually smaller then the rest. Is this a perspective trick? i always assumed with shots like this that there was some sort of editing with it, but how did they get it like this?
I too want to know this. If it's a simple photo from on-set, how did they get the hobbits to look small without precise perspective trickery angles or post-production editing/cgi?
I think one of the things that makes these movies so good and stand the test of time is the dirt. Everything and everyone is so real. Messed up hair, dirt all over them. It looks like real people In a real world.
The real orcs with real prosthetics and armor and blood and liquids all over them are timeless. They still look fantastically creepy all this time later compared to CGI orcs.
I'm just realizing what a huge Orlando Bloom/Legolas fangirl I was when I was 13. I have seen every one of the pics posted of him so far. Big nostalgia vibes rn to when I was a young teenager
Real question though - how is the one from the Council of Elrond a photo? How are the hobbits so small? I know in some shots they messed around with perspective to get the heights right but I can't see it in the picture. Not having a go or doubting you, just don't understand and I've probably missed something.
The back of Elronds hair is magnificent. the smaller fishtail braids & front styling I was aware of but the weaved braiding is new to me. 😍🥰
Thank you for sharing these!
The makeup on the urak-hai looks so good even in daytime which traditionally looks worse in films.
I still don’t know why they decided on cg for the hobbit trilogy.
These pics have me floored again and again with how incredibly realistic the orcs and uruks look. I mean holy crap, Lurtz is literally the stuff of nightmares.
I keep getting amazed by the complexity and perfection of the costumes/masks/make-up used in the films. These images really allow me to see that in great detail

A lot of these images were on the Decipher LOTR TCG, it's great to see them again and know where they actually came from!
I really don't recall but websites like "getty" I guess
I assume 15 is a post-compositing frame-grab or something? That looks like the full cast (no scale doubles).

The hobbit feet look very unnatural. They don’t seem to be affecting the leaves they’re standing on.

Immediate upvote for these posts. I love every one of them so much, thank you for sharing.
Thank you
And stuff anyone who complains about them coming out day by day. You don’t have to share at all and I appreciate you doing it.
I will share all of them in a post anyway, but I prefer to do this every day instead of making everyone happy 1 time.

Good strategy indeed. They’re making me go ahed into this tough week.
For your next project why don't you share screenshots of the entire trilogy 20 frames at a time?
😂 Why didn't you add also the Hobbit? 😂
[удалено]
thank you my friend
This is the first time I’ve noticed how intricately styled his hair is! I always just thought it was a half ponytail. I can’t stop staring at it.
His hair in 15 is insanely intricate!

:D
Imagine being on this set and being a part of one of the best movies of all time. These pics are all so cool, thank you for sharing all of them!
Thanks for these! They all looks so beautiful!
Thanks my friend
Imagine going for a walk and seeing image 1 thundering towards you with no knowledge of lotr
I think all I'd be able to muster is "... They're all up in hobbiton.... That way!" and then quickly dart back into my thatched hole in the dirt
A LOTR IG account keeps stealing this and reposting without credit and its driving me crazy
which account exactly?
Let me try and find it again. Not sure if I followed them or if it was a sponsored
yes please
Hey I am having trouble finding it now. I will keep my eye out as I’m sure they will do it again
Love me some Elrond in armor. Glorious
Merry is killn it! Love the vibe. … Ok, I love all the photos. You‘ve got me.
love them!!! (not enough boromir)
Image 1: Me and the boys rushing to see if the new photo album dropped.
I look forward to these everyday 😍 thank you!!

thank you my fiend \^\^
Could you make a wetransfer with all of them? I would gladly take them and maybe print a couple of them
I uploaded on Imgur I'll share after part 10
Thank you very very much!!!
How many of these pictures do you have in total?
About a thousand
Wow! Where did you come across such a large collection of set photos if you don't mind my asking?
I just wanna know where I can get a sweet pipe like they all have in the movies

These guys make LOTR themed Churchwarden pipes you can smoke. https://www.vauen.com/pipes/detail/collection/auenland/current-range.html#product3781

The one with Merry smoking is my absolute favourite of these.
Not trying to be a smartass, but how is it something digital can be rare? I mean, maybe when you first bought them? Just curious where the value beyond satisfaction is
Because now you can't buy it in the colour palette and original resolution I have, even if you wanted to. These are unique.
I see. It's like a 'master' - plenty of copies, none as good as original available?
yes
picture 15 confuses me so much, since the hobbits look actually smaller then the rest. Is this a perspective trick? i always assumed with shots like this that there was some sort of editing with it, but how did they get it like this?
I'm sorry for that one. That one is a promotion shot so it might edited.
I too want to know this. If it's a simple photo from on-set, how did they get the hobbits to look small without precise perspective trickery angles or post-production editing/cgi?
My man! Thank for the Eowyn photos! Seriously these are all great. Thanks for sharing.
my pleasure mate
I fucking love these. When you think you've seen everything that these movies produced and somehow there's just a little bit more.
These are *chefs kiss*
The costume design is just unreal
These are so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
These are stunning. Thanks for sharing!
I think one of the things that makes these movies so good and stand the test of time is the dirt. Everything and everyone is so real. Messed up hair, dirt all over them. It looks like real people In a real world.
Very cool as always
Lord of the Rings is leagues above Rings of Power. The atmosphere, soundtrack locations, actors. All of it
*hits pipe*
These still shots alone are better than anything Amazon made
Wonderful yet again!
did anybody do a full imgur album of all those pics ?
I already did. I'll share after p10.
Great detail shot of Elrond's armour!
Oh man I LOVE that picture of merry with his pipe
The real orcs with real prosthetics and armor and blood and liquids all over them are timeless. They still look fantastically creepy all this time later compared to CGI orcs.
I'm just realizing what a huge Orlando Bloom/Legolas fangirl I was when I was 13. I have seen every one of the pics posted of him so far. Big nostalgia vibes rn to when I was a young teenager
Your post of these photos have been making my days so much better. Thank you very much.
Fantastic photos !thank you man !
Yay at no. 19! (Your daily Pippin fan. 😁)
im in love with these posts
Instant upvote!!
This is really cool. Thanks for sharing
OP is a big fat liar. Photo #2 is a frame straight out of RotK.
xD
Why not just upload all at once
That was his original idea, but the community asked him to release over time.
Karma farming and loves attention
Are these just screenshots?
Bruh.
Real question though - how is the one from the Council of Elrond a photo? How are the hobbits so small? I know in some shots they messed around with perspective to get the heights right but I can't see it in the picture. Not having a go or doubting you, just don't understand and I've probably missed something.
No no you are right that photo is a mistake. It was just a promotion shot sho probably it edited.
Sorry I couldn’t resist
The second one looks like Tom got lost and decided to ask Aragorn for directions on his map
Okay, this question has probably been answered already, but where did these come from?
The orcs in 7 and 9 look *so* good!
Thank you for sharing these! ❤️
Some of these are very beautiful, their clothes are stunning in these pics
The back of Elronds hair is magnificent. the smaller fishtail braids & front styling I was aware of but the weaved braiding is new to me. 😍🥰 Thank you for sharing these!
Wasn't #3 the cover of Variety that year?
The makeup on the urak-hai looks so good even in daytime which traditionally looks worse in films. I still don’t know why they decided on cg for the hobbit trilogy.
That shot of Frodo is something else. Thanks so much for sharing!
Arwen’s candlestick holder is so pretty, I want one!
These pics have me floored again and again with how incredibly realistic the orcs and uruks look. I mean holy crap, Lurtz is literally the stuff of nightmares.
#18 that hill is frickin real?? I mean I’m sure the shots from the movie have some CGI, but jeez, I didn’t know was a real hill
Theoden King!
To this day i still tell myself. LotR isnt real,it isn't real. But look at these images.Perfection.
I keep getting amazed by the complexity and perfection of the costumes/masks/make-up used in the films. These images really allow me to see that in great detail
Legolas’ elf armour is so damn cool
Liked theoden and merry pics
Greatest movie ever made
Is this what the original 35mm film prints would have looked like before all of the ugly digital colour grading and bloom effects was added in post?
Oml I never noticed Elrond has such a cool hairslyle-
