  • talonstriker, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3is it just me who is completely confused by the 4th picture?
    Oh and the 5th one is just begging for a caption. Someone--get on it!
  • takehiro12, on 04/22/2008, -4/+2Oh boy, more nat. geo. photos. I just can't get enough of them. 10 times a week isn't doin' it for me.
  • wyzzerdd, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Very nice pictures, the first and seventh one are exceptional.
  • mikemc620, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1where is that penguin picture?
    • Etherion, on 04/22/2008, -0/+0I'm also looking for the picture from the thumbnail...
    • OneLess, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1It's at the bottom of the page as a link to "Special Issues".
    • p34r, on 04/22/2008, -0/+0Click on "Special Issues" at the bottom, then 100 Best Pictures Vol.1, then Wallpaper and it's in there, 3rd pic from the left.
  • jorelli, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1"Rift Valley, Tanzania—A camera’s long nighttime exposure reveals the red glow of lava spilling from Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai. The volcano’s lava, which appears brown to the naked eye, has the consistency of olive oil."

    wait wait wait.... long nighttime exposure? Normally I would never doubt Nat Geo, but if this is a long nighttime exposure why do the stars appear as single points rather than streaks?
    • rspeed, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Because that would take an extremely long exposure. Any exposure of more than ~1 sec is considered to be long.
  • v10vipe, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1These shots are extremely good and imaginative...I really don't understand that sand dune tree one, just looks fake! It's always been one of my dreams to shoot for them
  • bogoslav, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1I can create such a pic in Photoshop in an hour, but it's unbelievable that such a beauty has been created by itself (or, let's say, by space?)
