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.

Dear god. It's like Zeus and Thor are doing bukkake all over Poseidon...

Oh, I get it. It's a gay, fetish, Greek and Norse mythology mash-up porn.

Zeus changed his name to Jupiter thinking it would be a more appealing porn name to the Romans.

Same dude.

Lies, same entity, but different person. Much more disciplined, warlike, and business-y.

You're right, he used to be cool. Where's the Zeus who used to turn into a cow and pick up chicks?

I agree, it's shocking how many times this exact image has been reposted, rereposted, and rerereposted.

I'm surprised it's only done really well once.

Either that or this decay website isn't fully operational.

[–]kwangqengelele 1 point2 points ago

No, imagedecay will only get a small portion of the reposts. There are pictures I'm sure have been posted 20 times that only show up on that as having been posted 5 times. Any calling out of a repost should be accompanied by a reddit search, just to prove it can be done, karmadecay, and tineye.

First time I've seen it! Glad it was posted again.

Is this real? Where and why?

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Probably multiple exposures that were stacked on each other in post production. Otherwise lightning this active and frequent is generally only found near volcanic ash/debris plumes near the ejection point, but this doesn't look like a volcano picture, so not really sure.

[–]scottharden 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Don't you think it could also just be a single long exposure, maybe 30 seconds to a few minutes in duration?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Maybe, but then the exposure normally gets too bright and you lose details like I see in this pick. There are two tricks for shooting lightning. One, multiple exposures of a few seconds each. You just keep taking photos, and eventually you'll catch a strike on them, then you take out the ones that have strikes, and stack them in post processing. OR, you take one long exposure, like a minute or two, but you put a black card infront of the camera, and only remove it as you see lightning strikes, or periodically to let light in. This keeps the sensor from filling with unnecessary light when there aren't strikes happening, but still keeps levels low enough to do a much longer exposure.

I've always had better luck just clicking away with 5 second exposure or so (depending on the ambient light), and then just stacking the ones where I got lucky and captured strikes.

(I take a lot of lightning photos)

[–]RWYAEV 0 points1 point ago

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

Cool explanation. Link to any of your photos?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

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

I've only ever uploaded a couple photos of beer to Reddit before on this account, this site is too big and crawled by bots. In the past I posted my works under another account, and ended up finding my pictures reposted numerous times without credit given, and even one on a stock image site for sale. Instead of whining about people stealing my pictures like everyone else does and crying to Reddit, I just chose the only smart approach: I don't post anything online that I would care if someone stole. And I would care if someone took my lightning photos.

My lightning photos are things I sell prints for; posters, wrapped canvas, etc. So I just don't post them on the internet. I only have about 5 that are worth of sale or "hanging on a wall", as the lightning taking process is very tedious to get what you want. Though a few are on my shop site where people can buy my prints, I don't like linking my personal identity though. Least someday I offend the Reddit mob and they come for my head.

Sorry. :(

[–]poweLOL 0 points1 point ago

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

Maybe. But I'd have a hard time believing there was that much lightening in even 30 seconds. My guess its several long exposures. Like 4 or more
