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.

Why crop out the original photographer's name? credit

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

Ouch. Harsh. I was going to upvote this just for it being a well done pic. Thanks.

[–]SadDragon00[S] 2 points3 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I didn't. This is a picture that I came across while looking for new wallpapers, I figured Reddit would appreciate it. I wouldn't go through the effort of cropping for no reason.

As it so happens, we did appreciate it. Several times already. Even under the same title.

I knew I'd seen the picture on here before, but thank for bringing this to my attention. Upvote for you, downvote for OP.

[–]king_of_the_universe 2 points3 points ago

However, the OP might have found the already cropped version somewhere.

[–]YashaTheSloth -2 points-1 points ago

Good point. But buying/using stolen goods is still illegal.

Who lets their cat bite a D700!

[–]zerodb 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, the D800 WAS just announced today. I guess that makes the 700 cat food.

36.3 megapixels up in that bitch.

[–]heathengray 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Jesus... Who needs that many pixels?

That's large enough for a 348x348" image at 300DPI. 8.82x8.82 meters image.

Who takes pictures that large?

Actually 20"x20" or 0.5x0.5meter (at 300DPI), I am an idiot.

I think the largest camera on the Hubble Space Telescope is around 16megapixel.

[–]SexistButterfly 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It would be useful for editing, the more pixels you have the more you can push the image without loosing clarity. I am pretty happy with my 700 by any means, 12.1 megapixels with a full frame sensor is more than enough.

I have also printed photos out almost that large so that would be a plus for me.

[–]ruination77 0 points1 point ago

I have printed 36x24 from my D700 with no issue at all. I'd much rather have the D4.

[–]SexistButterfly 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The D4 is a thing of dreams. If I was to buy one I would wait for the announced of the S and X versions.

[–]ruination77 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wait and there will always be something better. I figure I'll be able use my D700 bodies for at least another year or so before I need to look for new bodies. I can't imagine what will be available by then.

[–]SexistButterfly 0 points1 point ago

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

The D700 is a fantastic if a little heavy body. I love mine and I will probably keep it around if I grab a D4S, that is if they release one.

Lulz @ Ken Rockwell as a source of reputable info.

[–]ruination77 1 point2 points ago

Double lulz. That's like me telling you to go to 9gag for humor tips.

[–]army_shooter 0 points1 point ago

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

Yeah, I took a peak at the article he linked there and just about gagged when he said Nikon's 28-300MM is their best lens and the only lens you need if you buy a D800; are you fucking kidding me? He also said the D800 is the best camera Nikon makes and it's half the price of the D4. What a douche.

[–]JonesBee 0 points1 point ago*

What? The image resolution is 7360 x 4912 pixels. Printed at 300dpi that would make a 24.5" x 16.4" (62.3cm x 41.6 cm) print.

348x348" at 300DPI

That would require a 10 899 megapixel image.

[–]heathengray 0 points1 point ago*

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

I might be being dense here but ...How do you figure that?

It's not as simple as 348x348x300 = 36,331,200 pixels?

I mean that's a minimum dot:pixel conversion, but I might be missing something

[–]JonesBee 1 point2 points ago

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

You forgot the other side. 348x300 equals 104 400 pixels on one side. There's 300 of those lines in an inch and the other side is 348 inches. So the correct calculation is (348x300)2.

I cringed when I noticed what he was biting.

[–]heathengray 1 point2 points ago

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

I was just day-dreaming about a new camera or lens, thinking it would be ridiculous to spend more than £300 on either.

Then I see this.

£2000 camera

And he lets the cat chew on it.

Cat knows not to bite a canon, smart kitty

just having used both i find canon much more to my taste. I find that canon on average have better lenses too. Just an opinion mate, dont wanna start a riot :P

36MP is kind of pointless. Well, unless you are making billboards. How 'bout the new D4? ~drool~
