Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

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.

  • 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 somebody put a triangle around the rainbow to make it a dark side of the moon wallpaper it'd be awesome

This randomly made me go look for a way to get Google Chrome to have a set image as desktop background option.

Here it is :

https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ddkmiidlgnkhnfhigdpadkaamogngkin

You can set the options to not open a new tab if you desire.

Fake? Stars in water reflection show time-lapse trails, while stars in sky are sharp?

[–]sonanz 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Perhaps the water wasn't perfectly still? I'm sure it was a long exposure.

aurora borealis? at this time of day? in this part of the country? located entirely within your kitchen?

It would be perfect if it had me in it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

wah, wait does stuff actually look like this? I've always wondered when people take pictures of the center of The Milky Way are they using high exposure cameras? Or do you straight up just see this when you go there? Cuz I mean, if that's what you see...in the sky...I'm leaving right now.

[–]humbled_titan 0 points1 point ago

Sort of. At high altitude, dry-air locations far from light pollution the experience is not too far off. The dimmer, "colorizing" stars aren't as visible but the thick band of the milky way is absolutely apparent.

[–]The_Master 0 points1 point ago

This shit desperately needs a unicorn.

[–]gogogaijin 0 points1 point ago

If only that guy had gotten his lens cleaned. Look at all that white speckly shit.

[–]AnEnglishGentleman 0 points1 point ago

With the reflection it's almost like there's a double aurora... all the way across the sky.

[–]alicelovesrockets 0 points1 point ago

[–]fatherwhite 0 points1 point ago

A cat would have made it puuurrrrfect

This looks... over-saturated or shopped or... something.

In short, it's bothering me and I don't know why. Could a photographer or shopper explain it to me?

[–]NickosaurousRex 0 points1 point ago

yeah, almost. Except for all those crappy stars and gay-ass rainbows.

[–]sodoh 0 points1 point ago

badly shopped. For starters you don't even have a reflection of the sky.

[–]americatheburgerful -1 points0 points ago

Did the gay rainbow ruin it for you, too?

It's pretty and all. But pretty alone doesn't do much.
