For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

If the sun is on the left, what in hell is illuminating the right?

[–]Drabkikker 6 points7 points ago

Interesting point. I think, since this is a composite, that the bright patch of sky is from one of the pictures taken before or after totality, with the sky partly darkened by the shadow cone cast by the moon. Compare this picture.

[–]Bennyboy1337 -2 points-1 points ago

Exactly, the main image that's used in the picture is from the full eclipse, thus you have that ring of shadow which is why everything bellow is dark. Op might of been better off to use a sunset exposure as the background, but it's hard to say, it would of looked more natural.

would of looked

This was the Astronomy Picture of the Day APOD

[–]Seansie831 4 points5 points ago

Any luck with the Firelord?

[–]Jaanus565 3 points4 points ago

Quickly! Attack the fire nation!

[–]kizh 2 points3 points ago

upvote! Man can you put this pic somewhere full size or at least 1920x1600? Would love to have it as a desktop!

[–]JohnPoe[S] 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, no, not my image, maybe check the URL in the watermark.

[–]MadMills 2 points3 points ago

Oh good, something else I missed by not leaving my room.

[–]KIRBYTIME 1 point2 points ago

I saw the partial eclipse as well at about 10:10am in New Zealand. Was one of the greatest things I had ever seen.

[–]JohnPoe[S] 2 points3 points ago

Congrats! I went to China to see one in 2009, it clouded over and rained so we missed most of it. Waiting for 2017 for the next one in the USA.

[–]KIRBYTIME 1 point2 points ago

It was partly cloudy. So we were lucky enough to have clouds cover it so we could see with the naked eye.

[–]ElDerp 0 points1 point ago

Yeah it was beautiful. First time I haven't been disappointed by an eclipse. It helped that it wasn't hyped up too much beforehand.

[–]iMythD 0 points1 point ago

Wow.. How do you take photos like this?.. I've always wanted to know.

[–]BradDelo 0 points1 point ago

'Tis a composite image.

[–]Bennyboy1337 1 point2 points ago

One exposure for the foreground and background plus all the exposures for the different points of the eclipse, layer in Photoshop and profit.

[–]ifuckinghateratheism 1 point2 points ago

It just happened over a series of hours! Heh heh heh

[–]myhouseismadeofskin 0 points1 point ago

I'm overcome with a sudden urge to play Goldeneye.

[–]Uberslaughter 0 points1 point ago

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely when I see the @#$%kin look in your eyes...

[–]LucX21 1 point2 points ago

Save the cheerleader

[–]penguintheft 0 points1 point ago

A+

[–]spid3y 1 point2 points ago

Do you have a high-res version of this?

[–]JohnPoe[S] 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, no, not my image, maybe check the URL in the watermark.

[–]jmdxsvhs15 0 points1 point ago

Looks like pacman to me.

[–]muckdrop 0 points1 point ago

Total eclipse of the heeeeeeartttttt

[–]offsetbreakdown 1 point2 points ago

Man. I missed the Day of Black Sun and didn't even realize it.

[–]JontanD 0 points1 point ago

How many moons does Australia have? Selfish.

[–]Fazzyy 1 point2 points ago

[–]JohnPoe[S] 0 points1 point ago

Not my photo, but thanks :)

[–]Hothr 0 points1 point ago

Eclipse in Australia?

[–]Townsie 0 points1 point ago

[–]gorofgof 0 points1 point ago

I read "totally just happened in Australia". Time for bed.

[–]Matttroll -1 points0 points ago

The eclipse happened days ago... Not "just happend".

[–]JohnPoe[S] 0 points1 point ago

Less than 48 hours, jeez.

[–]opencondomstyle 3 points4 points ago

I.. well.. it... I can't help it... it also didn't happen in Australia or even this planet.

[–]JohnPoe[S] 0 points1 point ago

Touché.
