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.

The picture is fake. Someone made it worse by changing it to black and white.

[–]JohnAbruzzi 20 points21 points ago

Making photos black and white seems to make people professional photographers today.

In colour:

[–]McFeely_Smackup 14 points15 points ago

Amateurs!

Don't they know that HDR is what makes people professionals today? Black and White is so played out.

[–]bk553 6 points7 points ago

Next: Selective coloring and cross-processing and tilt-shift

[–]norseman23 14 points15 points ago

Photoshopped. Here's the source.

"This image is a composite of 2 pictures. the picture of the sky and clouds was taken by me from an airplaine, and the shuttle is a picture from NASA. Then the assembly was done in Photoshop & Ligthroom [sic]"

[–]Glaciar 0 points1 point ago

Takes the time to Photoshop the Space Shuttle in but can't get the horizon straight. :|

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points ago

oh Jesus fuck, not this again.

[–]DeLoreanMotorCars 31 points32 points ago

Fake and Repost.

[–]g3kko 7 points8 points ago

Quickly glancing at the thumbnail convinced me that I was going to see a penguin flying into the sky ಠ_ಠ

[–]boomfarmer -1 points0 points ago

I was thinking of a nuclear submarine somehow launching vertically into the sky from beneath some pack ice.

[–]veruus -2 points-1 points ago

Same.

[–]SirSupay 11 points12 points ago

Fake off

[–]b3hr 1 point2 points ago

I kept getting this song in my head http://youtu.be/ot70G4wSQi0 all day I finally figured it was the title of this post.

[–]pancakehiatt 1 point2 points ago

Where's the camera?

[–]anofficerofthelawl 1 point2 points ago

Photoshop, light from the burners should be piercing through those clouds at that. Even though it is black and white there is no indication that the engine burners are there.

[–]TheMediumPanda 1 point2 points ago

  1. It's the 2003247th repost.
  2. It's an obvious shop.
  3. Anyone with half a brain should be able to figure this out.

[–]TheRaymac 2 points3 points ago

It's black and white so that makes it totally different.

[–]individual61 1 point2 points ago

Goddamnit. This shit again.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Obligatory "this is fake" post.

[–]Funkyapplesauce 0 points1 point ago

I saw it and immediately knew it was a fake. Real rockets have to "tip over" at a certain rate so that they are moving horizontally at the target altitude. If this were a real photo the shuttle would shoot high in the sky, fail to get moving horizontally fast enough to achieve orbit, and then plummet back to the ground.

[–]no_numbers_in_name 0 points1 point ago

My night with your mom ended just the same.

[–]stom 0 points1 point ago

Okay, maybe not as pretty as the fake from OP, but something to placate...

[–]Strongmayo 0 points1 point ago

I just made a wallpaper out of this foul fake http://gyazo.com/79925ab7d75d276aa727382e519334a7

[–]has_a_box 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone say this was a repost yet? good... ITS a REPOST!

good deed for the day done, check.

[–]supergalactic 0 points1 point ago

Even if this was real, there's no WAY an aircraft would be allowed this close to the launch area.

[–]fallingtopieces 0 points1 point ago

Well if it WAS real it would mean that an aircraft was allowed that close to the launch area :P

[–]jmag310 0 points1 point ago

penetration.

[–]RunningMoto 0 points1 point ago

There's no way aircraft would be cleared to fly that close during a launch anyways...

[–]MrAgoo 0 points1 point ago

Took off

[–]reddbdb 0 points1 point ago

Does this get upvoted as a joke?

[–]Atlantarn 0 points1 point ago

to the great white north take off its a beauty way to go

[–]luketheduke03 0 points1 point ago

Launching with the window covers still in place wasn't a good idea!

[–]hrothgar_the_great 0 points1 point ago

Please mark penetration posts as NSFW

[–]RzK 0 points1 point ago

I hate when I lie down and my penis goes through the clouds.. its freezing up there

[–]GuantanaMo -1 points0 points ago

I'll just assume this is a miniature sticking in some kind of foam. Because, you know, back then when they took b/w-photos they didn't have "Photoshop".

[–]kampfy3 1 point2 points ago

can't tell if serious

[–]Expresso2113 -1 points0 points ago

TAKE OFF EH!!! YA HOSERRR!!!!!

[–]coldize -1 points0 points ago

Surprise boner

[–]coldcrush -1 points0 points ago

waiting for sex joke

[–]geeklimit -1 points0 points ago

Reminds me of the bathtub.

.>

[–]AliceCode -1 points0 points ago

That looks just like my erection coming through the bath time bubbles.

[–]Robot313 -2 points-1 points ago

I posted this monthes ago! And it's still fake!

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points ago

O O

[–]necrothe -3 points-2 points ago

Shopped. Pixels and such.

[–]alwysboredwrk -5 points-4 points ago

just the tip?

[–]stafa -5 points-4 points ago

Whether it is fake or real, I'm using it as my iPad wallpaper and I'm loving it

[–]Berzerker7 -2 points-1 points ago

Also, wouldn't it be "lift off?"

[–]I3ombastic -2 points-1 points ago

Hey look, you took that fake photo that was posted on reddit a month ago and you made it BLACK AND WHITE!

Fuck off.

[–]zane496 -3 points-2 points ago

This is what it looks like when I have a rager in my tightie whities.

[–]Keysar_Soze -4 points-3 points ago

... you hoser.

After reading the rest of the comments I think the SCTV reference is acutely appropriate.

[–]pjcod -5 points-4 points ago

The sky has the weirdest boner right now

[–]chasealex2 -4 points-3 points ago

Two very real images composited to produce a lie, not a fake.

Either way, downvote it to oblivion, just for the reposted-for-the-50th-time-ness
