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.

Too bad the powers that be see this as nothing more than money we could be using to fight more wars.

Fuck the wars, let's go to Mars.

I've had this as my wallpaper for ages. It was the last space shuttle night launch ever. I stayed up until 2 am to watch it, but the launch was scrubbed for 24 hours, so I stayed up until 2 am again (with 9am classes the next day) to watch it. It was pretty spectacular.

The last ever shuttle launch (STS-135) is tomorrow morning 15:26 GMT. http://www.spacevidcast.com streams shuttle launches live if you're interested in watching.

I was lucky enough to get a press pass for the last night launch, it was freezing cold ( for us Floridians) and was epic. Every part of it was awe inspiring.

In response to the PICS or GTFO crowd here you go: http://jgoodstein.imgur.com/night_launch

we were very lucky to see that launch

You have no idea how jealous I am. I've always wanted to see a launch live but never had the opportunity, and now the Shuttle program is done it likely won't happen for a long time.

I find it incredible, the amount of force behind these things, the way the move so slowly and somehow stay balanced. I was thinking about how hard it'd be to get down to Florida for the launch by tomorrow morning, but figured it probably would never work out.

I have had this as my wallpaper for months. It's an excellent shot.

This was my wallpaper for a long time. Also, there's a firefox theme inspired by this night launch.

This is an amazing shot, did you take this?

[–]jpbeard 1 point2 points ago

Wouldn't he be vaporized or at least very dead had he been this close to the launch? This must be a remote camera.

Good point, great shot nonetheless

Definitely worth sharing. Into the wallpaper shuffle it goes!
