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), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, 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.

The moon is an added bonus too.

it's really just awesomeness overkill at that point though

Is that Mars?

This was taken in Greece during a recent lunar eclipse and was featured on NASA's astrophotography website. I doubt it is the OP's work.

I thought that too, but I think it's just camera glare.

Bollocks mate! You are obviously trying to hide planet X!

[–]Volopok 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Planet X has green trees, normal atmosphere, I do love those clouds. There's no such thing as mind control though.

It's an eclipse.

IMO, the clouds and red moon are cooler than the lightning.

what camera/iso etc.? I'm looking to get a Canon 60D and was hoping I could pull something like this off.

[–]assumetehposition 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Canon EOS 550D, 15/6/2011 23:05 (UT +3), Shutter Speed 28 sec, Aperture Value 4.0, ISO 400, Lens Canon EF15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, Focal Length 15.0 mm. Source.

Thanks. First DSLR and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get another body for at least a year or two. I'm trying to decide between the 60D 550D and 600D. Looks like a great image. Would you say grab the 550 instead of the 60D and put the extra cash towards glass?

I'm not a photographer, I just copy/pasted from the website. Maybe a real photographer could help you out? Anyone? Anyone?

Anyone know where this was taken?

[–]assumetehposition 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Source.

Make sure to go back every day, it's worth it.

Serious question though. Does this not electrocute all of the fishies?

[–]jcraig87 0 points1 point ago

if you could control lightning, it would be a sweet way to fish.

[–]zeitgeizt 0 points1 point ago

I was wondering about the stars to the right. It doesn't seem right that they're over the clouds in the photo. Or are they glares/reflections from something else?

[–]xyphur 0 points1 point ago

They're real, it's just a 28 second exposure.
