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:

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.

Came here to see if someone did a Majora's reference, was not disappointed.

Has someone been shooting at it with a Sniper Rifle?

[–]explodyhead 3 points4 points ago

I hear that if you shoot it with a sniper rifle it'll change size.

[–]klackity 9 points10 points ago

Not necessarily shopped. If you use a telephoto lens from very far away, you can make any particular building look as small as you want with respect to the moon (ignoring limitations resulting from the curvature of the earth).

It's the opposite effect of what happens when someone takes a picture which makes them look like they are as tall as the tower of Pisa.

After trying to shoot the moon (ha ha) many times the thing that gets me isn't the size of the moon, which you can do with the a telephoto lens, but rather getting the foreground more than a silhouette without having the moon completely blown out (too bright). Great shot.

[–]iansmith6 1 point2 points ago

I assumed they used HDR when I looked at it. No exposure setting will let you get a picture like that in one shot.

[–]E-Bum 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Probably not HDR in the way you're thinking of it. These things are usually just two blended exposures, with a long exposure to properly expose the foreground and then a very short, underexposed photo to correctly meter the moon's brightness/sky.

Only thing I'm wondering is how to do that without having that moon's flare wash out over the buildings in the long exposure shot.

IT'S HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THAT CASTLE!!!

[–]DazednEnthused 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

At first glance, I thought the castle was directly under the moon, supporting it with its towers.

Córdoba. Lejana y sola.

Jaca negra, luna grande, y aceitunas en mi alforja. Aunque sepa los caminos yo nunca llegaré a Córdoba.

Por el llano, por el viento,
jaca negra, luna roja.
La muerte me está mirando
desde las torres de Córdoba.

¡Ay qué camino tan largo! ¡Ay mi jaca valerosa!
¡Ay, que la muerte me espera,
antes de llegar a Córdoba.

Córdoba.
Lejana y sola

-Lorca

It'd be better if the moon's weren't shaded differently.

No matter how big the moon looks, the average person can hide it completely behind the tip of their pinky finger held at arm's length.

Less noise. Better edge of moon. More contrast.

It looks so calm, cool and peaceful there.

...It almost makes me forget that it was 117 degrees (F) when I visited last.
