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.

Long Exposure photos are not real life. Also, cameras are much more sensitive. It would not look this way.

[–]sharkeyzoic 0 points1 point ago

That's the south-west coast of Victoria, you are a long way from any source of artificial light just there so if you leave the torch off and wait for your eyes to adjust it is pretty goddamn wonderful.

Absolutely! However , I work with telescopes and astrophotography so I'm a bit biased here. I wish you could see it like this but it won't be this good.

[–]mtfr 0 points1 point ago

I can't see how so many people don't understand this. They must be city folk who think you can really see galaxies and nebulas with the naked eye when you get away from the lights. As it turns out, no matter how far away from light pollution you get, you can never see that much detail.

I'm kinda being a pessimist but I work with telescopes and this isn't possible without a camera chip.

Look closer, those 'stars' are actually tiny spiders telling you to NOPE and get out of there.

[–]imatworkla 0 points1 point ago

Also no one lives there. It is quite empty along the road at this point except for the tourist centre.

[–]leonryan 0 points1 point ago

i was about to say the same thing. it's a 3 hour drive from anything substantial, and cold and windy.

Here is a video of it.

[–]Ras_H_Tafari 0 points1 point ago

You don't get to live there, if you live in Australia you live in a big city or a shitty town in the middle of nowhere. This picture is like saying living in America is like a filtered photo of a majestic corn field.

There are at the least 200 types of spider, bat, or jellyfish that can kill you in this picture.
