A photo of Omayra Sanchez, a 13-year-old victim of the eruption in 1985 in Armero, Colombia, that took the life of 23,000 people in the area, including hers soon after this photo was taken. She became internationally famous after photographer Frank Fournier took this photograph of her shortly after she was discovered alive in the wreckage of her home. She survived for another three days as rescue workers fruitlessly tried to free her from the wreckage.
[QUOTE]Red Cross rescue workers had repeatedly appealed to the Colombian government for a pump to lower the water level and for other help to free the girl. As the government failed to respond, finally rescuers gave up and spent their remaining time with her, comforting her and praying with her. She died of exposure after about 60 hours.[/QUOTE]
The Colombian government received much of the blame for the tragedy, for its inaction on responding to it and general indifference to warning signs prior to the volcano's eruption. The city of Armero no longer exists, having been abandoned and becoming a cemetery to those who lost their lives in the disaster. It is now unofficially known as Camposanto.
That photo still haunts me for the apparent calmness while facing death.
Maybe it was just a moment, followed by screaming or pleading but... In THIS moment, everything was quiet I'm sure.

[quote][B]Brown Hyena[/B] ([B][I]Hyaena brunnea[/I][/B])
The brown hyena is a species of hyena found in Namibia, Botswana, western and southern Zimbabwe, southern Mozambique and South Africa. It is currently the rarest species of hyena, being considered as ’Vulnerable’ by the IUCN. Brown hyenas can measure 86 to 140 cm in head-and-body length. Unlike the larger spotted hyena, there are no sizable differences between the sexes, though males may be slightly larger than the females. Brown hyenas have powerful jaws: young animals can crack the leg bones of springboks within five minutes of birth, though this ability deteriorates with age as their teeth gradually wear. Brown hyenas have social hierarchy comparable to those of wolves, with an alpha male and alpha female. They are social animals that may live in clans consisting of one adult of each gender and associated young, though there are reports of clans composed of four males and six females. Brown hyenas maintain a stable clan hierarchy through ritualized aggressive displays and mock fights. They typically forage alone, and do not maintain a territory, instead using common hunting paths. Brown hyenas are primarily scavengers, the bulk of their diet consisting of carcasses killed by larger predators, though they may supplement their diet with rodents, insects, eggs, fruit and fungi. However, brown hyenas are aggressive scavengers, frequently appropriating the kills of black-backed jackals, cheetahs, and leopards, including adult male leopards. [/quote]

[quote][B][I]Amphisbaena fuliginosa[/I][/B], also known as the [B]Black and White Worm Lizard[/B], is a species of amphisbaenian - which though commonly called “worm lizards” they are neither worms or lizards, though they are closely related to the latter. The ecology of this species is poorly known due to it spending most of its lifetime underground. However, this species can be easily distinguished from others because of its characteristic white and black mosaic pattern that covers both the dorsal and ventral side. [/quote]

I wonder at what point the squid is actually dead, I know it's more than dead in the first video, it's just the salt in the soy sauce making the muscles react. But not so sure for the second vid

I think organs get ripped at 0:36 part, if not that then at 0:40 but I am not sure how long can Squid live without organs so it might be alive till the end maybe.

[QUOTE=Alice3173;48580244]What exactly is it other than neat looking?[/QUOTE]
Botryoidal Hematite. Botryoidal stands for the grape-like structure with many spheres in it, and Hematite being the mineral it is made out of.
Or if you find that in a game of some sort, it probably is A Chunk of Eldritch Horror.
Apparently this is what happens when you take a picture in the middle of the night at ISO25600 with a shutter speed of 15 seconds and a f-number of F4.

Light doesn't act any differently at night, even when there's less of it. Correct for white balance, and you have perfectly natural looking photos.
Some years back (with my old camera) I took this photo at midnight during a power outage:
[img]https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8208/8164973451_4d7b8803a3_c.jpg[/img]
Notice how you can see the stars in the blue sky, and notice how my old camera didn't really handle high ISO values very well.
Ok call me retarded but how is that even possible? Does it have something to do with the flash?
[QUOTE=saintsim;48581045]Ok call me retarded but how is that even possible? Does it have something to do with the flash?[/QUOTE]
No, there's no flash involved.
It's just a long exposure, the result being that the light in the scene is amplified a lot and the image appears brighter.
Two very important details:
- This is during a power outage, if there was no power outage all the windows with light in them would appear immensely bright, lighting up large areas around them. This would break the illusion.
- The moon is up, and effectively acts like a sun, giving natural daylight shadows.
If we had better night vision, a moonlit night would look that way for us too.

I wonder how is that even possible in a bit different way : with such a big shutter speed all nonstatic objects like trees/grass/etc must get blurry and uneven, but on both your and the other guy's photos they look surprisingly sharp. Or maybe it's just post-processing?
