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.

This picture, however, is from today.

(also....was totally setting the manual focus right at that moment, when I saw something in front of the sun, and scrambled to mash my shutter release button....just missed it :-/ but still pretty good...maybe I'll just photoshop it in front of the sun and call it a day :-P)

edit: damn, I guess I should have put it on flickr so everyone can see my other stuff :-P http://www.flickr.com/photos/fangolives

One ring to rule them all... One ring to blind them all... One ring to be looked at through welding masks...

[–]clownfart 74 points75 points ago

I think it looks great like that. The plane is pretty big, I don't think it would look that good blocking the eclipse.

[–]crowlz11 40 points41 points ago

Agreed, it has a nice balance to it and if you just cropped the top and bottom a little bit it would look really good.

[–]spleendor 15 points16 points ago

I think /r/perfecttiming would enjoy this picture.

Not bad either. I still get the feeling, even if it isn't zooomed way in. If I had the chance to see it my photo would have looked like that. Well done.

[–]dzarg77 1 point2 points ago

Thank you good sir.

[–]otterknees 1 point2 points ago

When I saw this I thought it was a joke. I thought you had taken a picture of the sun eclipsed by your house.

[–]FloppyWaffle 1 point2 points ago

The timing... it's just perfect.

[–]lightjedi5 1 point2 points ago

That's okay, my best would've been just a bunch of clouds. :/

[–]Zandt88 10 points11 points ago

Yeah leave it be. Looks like the sun is damaged and being towed back to the shop for repairs.

I know we're supposed to be Reddit and too cool for Facebook and all, but that would make an amazing background picture for FB timeline. Nice job!

[–]UnholyDemigod 26 points27 points ago

Who gives a shit what we're 'supposed' to like. Do what you fucken like!

[–]mapleclouds090 1 point2 points ago

yeah,men !! Reddit is not about I'm too cool, its about getting together, share stuff and support ourselves (Y) so kudos on UnholyDemigod 'cause you know the deal n_n

[–]ecmmyers 1 point2 points ago

Apollo really has upgraded.

[–]indeedwatson 1 point2 points ago

This picture, taken by FANGO with unbelievable timing was simply called "A Day".

[–]tedmdelacruz 1 point2 points ago

just imagine the view from that plane

[–]FloppyWaffle 1 point2 points ago

Is this the highest resolution you have of this? I think it would make a great background.

[–]beerbitches 3 points4 points ago

Leave it be, I might steal it and put it out two years later claiming mine! Kidding, good pic good sir!

[–]Creakier 7 points8 points ago

I FEEL BETRAYED.

[–]CJ_Guns 92 points93 points ago

Hm...people really do lie on the internet.

[–]ihahp 185 points186 points ago

OP never said it was his (or hers) and never claimed it was from this eclipse.

[–]CJ_Guns 13 points14 points ago

Correct, I just saw that he/she posted the source link to a Twitter account. Apparently the guy on Twitter is lying, or at least implying that the picture is from this eclipse.

[–]alias777 36 points37 points ago

It was implied though.

[–]valormorghullis 131 points132 points ago

I think you just inferred it

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

You know what they, say when you assUme!

[–]khanman47 20 points21 points ago

no sorry thats way too much coincidence. Re-used link for karma whoring at its finest.

[–]hinduguru 40 points41 points ago

Waited for the best time to post it. Smart, but still, the internet police finds a way to frame you and your meddling dog

[–]Quantization 16 points17 points ago

Totally agree. It says "Perfect timing." it doesn't say "Perfect timing on the eclipse" or anything that implies that it was on this one. I think everyone just assumed it. Upvote for cleverness.

[–]Zagorath 1 point2 points ago

Haha, not only was the photo taken at the perfect time, but it was submitted to Reddit at the perfect time!

[–]d3rsty 2 points3 points ago

They would have gotten away with it too...

[–]shamusmclovin 4 points5 points ago

[–]lukas5150[S] 72 points73 points ago

it's not mine, Aaron Paul (from Breaking Bad) tweeted it 2 hrs ago, i thought it was cool and relevant and posted it here so other people could enjoy it

EDIT: But wasn't sure...

Good detective work, Eli

[–]Qwiso 4 points5 points ago

This comment is flying up - don't want people thinking he's a liar! He posted twitter as the source.

[–]Tittybong 1 point2 points ago

I can confirm this. Well, not really, but I can say that I saw this same image on google images 2 hours ago while looking for a map of where the eclipse is best seen.

[–]Liv182 1 point2 points ago

I feel like I have been cheated :(

[–]eslice 1 point2 points ago

[–]Wiki_pedo 1 point2 points ago

Maybe "perfect timing" referred to posting this old photo around the time of an eclipse? :P

[–]opioneers86 411 points412 points ago

Perfect timing? There's a fucking plane in the way.

[–]sweetmojaveraiin 3 points4 points ago

This made me laugh so hard my abs hurt.

[–]REDDIT- 183 points184 points ago

I posted this in another thread, but:

We drove all the way to Reno to get in the path of the full eclipse.

This is the best shot I got. ಠ_ಠ

[–]lukas5150[S] 42 points43 points ago

haha how far was the drive?

[–]REDDIT- 146 points147 points ago

About 5 hours. Had a great time here all day regardless, I guess.

[–]Tactful 61 points62 points ago

According to RES, two people downvoted you for having a good time.

I don't really know what to say to that. "Hey, you had a wonderful five hour drive with your friends/family? Fuck that shit, I'm burying your delightful comments."

[–]s1ce 35 points36 points ago

[–]MrNecktie 7 points8 points ago

To my knowledge, this is only done in regards to the submissions themselves, not comment threads.

[–]magicfingahs 16 points17 points ago

The RES vote count isn't always accurate though, either.

[–]NSAgent 17 points18 points ago

One of the reddit admins has said it applies to comments too.

[–]TransvaginalOmnibus 1 point2 points ago

Then how is it possible for some comments to get like 50 upvotes and 0 downvotes?

[–]TriumphantTumbleweed 5 points6 points ago

There's no pattern to the fuzzing. That's kind of the point. There could have been 5 downvotes and it's possible it would still say 0.

[–]Trilby_Defoe 8 points9 points ago

it is definitely done on comments.

[–]PapauNewGuinea 1 point2 points ago

Ever since you got RES, have you just posted that response to every comment you see and ignored all of the comments about vote fuzzing?

[–]oneyeartrip 1 point2 points ago

[–]ohkatey 1 point2 points ago

hey! i'm glad reno showed you an okay time :D

[–]Daaaaaaaamn 4 points5 points ago

DAMMIT!! I live on the east coast :(

[–]TheAdAgency 12 points13 points ago

You'll get your turn:

The next solar eclipse visible on the east coast of the U.S. will be the partial eclipse of 3rd November 2013.

After that, there will be another partial eclipse on 23rd October 2014

However, these will occur near sunrise and sunset respectively and won't be particularly well seen.

Much better will be the eclipse of 21st August 2017, which will be a total eclipse across the USA from Oregon to South Carolina and visible as partial everywhere else in North America.

[–]rippev 3 points4 points ago

Should have continued on to Albuquerque!

[–]doctorducttape 14 points15 points ago

Here is my shot from reno Click

[–]too_many_upvotes 11 points12 points ago

I live about 40 miles south of Reno and we got a great view! So sorry to see you missed it. Here are some pictures I took with my telescope though!

seriously. we could see it through the clouds, kind of, from my house in sparks. it looked really cool.

[–]well_welp_ok 8 points9 points ago

it's as if it's towing the eclipse in to position.

[–]lucidviolet 26 points27 points ago

On first glance --before I clicked-- I thought this was Jack Skellington's silhouette from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

[–]valoopy 3 points4 points ago

And at a glance of your picture, I saw Slenderman. And it's past 11 at night. That's ok, who needs sleep...

how are people taking such nice pictures of the eclipse, i tried and utterly failed, my camera doesn't go above 1/4000 sec shutter speed. Even when the moon is right in the middle it was too bright to take pictures of anything

sigh

[–]blairjamesa 1 point2 points ago

This is something I want to know! I guess ask the guys on /r/photography.

After multiple tries, I had to end up using a welding mask as a filter, just to get some of the glare out. here's the best shot i got
