Geograph - photograph every grid square

Very few images are rejected, but some of the main reasons for rejection include:

Digital Manipulation: Images that have been digitally manipulated in a way that significantly devalues the geographical information.

Subject Focus: "Family snap" type pictures where family or friends are the main subject. While people can be present in a photo, they should not be the primary focus.

Technical Quality: While we don't demand technically perfect pictures, images that are: Too small (fewer than 480 pixels along the longest side), Excessively blurred, So underexposed that details cannot be properly seen, or Pictures with distracting reflections (e.g., taken from inside a building or vehicle). Often, some judicious editing can improve these pictures for successful resubmission.

Date Stamps: Images with date stamps automatically added by the camera are strongly discouraged, even if not too obvious. If possible, please turn off this feature on your camera when taking pictures for Geograph (the date the image was taken is stored separately).

There are a few other reasons a picture may not be accepted, which are detailed in the main Geograph Guide, linked below

In general, there's no need to blur out such features.

If a vehicle is particularly prominent in the photo, you might consider blurring its registration.

We don't encourage close-up photos of people, so there's no need to blur faces if identifiable people are visible, as long as the photo was taken in a public place.

Images from moving vehicles are discouraged as they often result in poor pictures due to:
1) Taken through windows
2) Motion Blur
