I studied for 45 minutes! without getting distracted!
aaaaaaa

@lizardsquid Yes, I find some images harder to describe in words myself. I would try to name all the colors, write how they work together (contrast?) and talk about the shapes and objects (if any). I think it's interesting to think about images like that, maybe you figure out something new about it while doing that :)

There are guidelines for how to describe art for blind people, for example in museums. Found this one just now artbeyondsight.org/handbook/ac

@Jules I try to only boost stuff with alt text, and I try to only post images if I can give them alt text

but sometimes I post a toot that's like "check out how these colours go together" it's hard to come up with alt text - are there any guidelines on what to write in those cases where it's all about colours/something else solely visual?

+ think about making your image descriptions part of your tooting, too. Part of your talking to the internet in general.

There are those of us (yes, me too), who aren't blind but still have low vision or visual processing issues, who can't read most text in images or have a hard time looking at the image and who don't use screen readers and can't read alt text. And there are people who can see your images, but still not make sense of them.

Just give it a try?
