It’s evident that in the digital age, pictures have become way more than just fillers for family albums; they’re shared on social media, attached to all sorts of blogs, and added to more or less every news outlet there is, which results in people snapping way more shots than they did back in the day.

But surely, not everyone takes pictures because they have to; some people just love taking photographs or, let’s be honest, have a phone on hand when they see something pretty. Whatever the circumstances, many of such random yet interesting images end up on the Facebook page titled exactly that. Today, we want to shed light on some of them, so whether you’re a fan of photography or simply curious about what people find worthy of taking out their camera for, scroll down to find them on the list below and enjoy!

if you look long enough its easy to figure it out but at first glance its confusing, hence it's an awesome illusion, and creating a table like this is brilliant :D infinityta...df-png.jpg infinitytable-661fecded32df-png.jpg

    There are some wonderful documentaries about them and how they communicate. They are indeed magical, especially for children. We used to catch them in a jar when I was little, and watch them glow before letting them go in their happy way. Soon my grandchild will be old enough to chase them, and I hope they hold beautiful memories for her.

    It’s very likely that if you own a camera phone, you take pictures on a daily basis. Nowadays, it’s difficult to imagine our lives without the option to snap a picture in a matter of seconds at any given moment. However, this was not the case just a few decades ago.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    While the image that is considered by many to be the first photograph ever—the view from the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce’s window that he captured using a process known as heliography—was taken back in 1826, the first camera phone was only introduced at the turn of the century while the origins of digital photography lead us back to the early 1970s (and a person named Steven Sasson).

    We have squirrels that nest all over our property, a lot of them within easy view. Well, we have animals that nest and live all over our property, really. I often spend hours just watching them. There's a nest in a tree not far from my porch. I sit out there and watch them for ages. The mama (a '23 spring baby herself) has 4 little babies that I spent a good hour watching yesterday, lol. Critter watching is one of my favorite things to do.

    In 1973, a young engineer named Steven Sasson went to work for Eastman Kodak—a company that has been producing photography-related products since the late 19th century—thus starting the process of the development of digital photography. It has since then evolved into people being able to take incredibly vivid pictures with not only a professional camera, but even the cameras on their phones.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Upon arriving at Kodak, Sasson was given a seemingly insignificant task of trying to figure out if there is any practical use for a charged coupled device (C.C.D.)—a light-sensitive device that is able to convert light input into electronic signals—The New York Time reports. Sasson has said that hardly anyone knew about him working on it; not because it was a secret, but because it wasn’t “that big of a project”.

    After years of hard work and determination, Sasson found a way to present people with photographic images, albeit in a quality that nowadays would be considered miserable at best.

    “It only took 50 milliseconds to capture the image, but it took 23 seconds to record it to the tape,” The New York Times report Saason saying. “I’d pop the cassette tape out, hand it to my assistant and he put it in our playback unit. About 30 seconds later, up popped the 100 pixel by 100 pixel black and white image.”

    To put that into perspective, phone camera resolutions nowadays typically range from 12MP to 48MP, with one megapixel (MP) equaling 1,000,000 pixels.

    Despite the first digital camera being patented back in 1978, Sasson was not allowed to publicly discuss it or show it to anyone outside the Kodak company. 

    Roughly a decade later, together with his colleague, Robert Hills, he created the first modern digital single-lens reflex (D.S.L.R.) camera with a 1.2 megapixel sensor, which used image compression and memory cards.

    It’s evident that photography has developed in leaps and bounds since then, as some cameras nowadays have sensors of more than 100MP.

    Here is the context, copy pasted from the original source: “On the morning of May 19th, 1902, a huge explosion ripped through Fraterville Coal Mine in Tennessee, its devastating power instantly killing most of the 216 miners who were below ground. For the 26 who survived the initial blast, a side passage of the mine proved to be a safe haven, but not for long—when rescuers eventually reached them, all had suffocated. Found next to a number of the those 26 bodies were letters to loved ones, one of which can be seen below. It was written by Jacob Vowell to Sarah Ellen, his beloved wife and mother to their 6 children, one of whom, 14-year-old Elbert, was by his side in the mine. ("Little Eddie" was a son they had lost previously.) All but three of Fraterville's adult men were killed that day; over a hundred women were instantly widowed; close to a thousand children lost their fathers. The Fraterville Mine disaster remains the worst of its kind in Tennessee's history.”

    It’s not surprising that with camera phones developing at a cosmic pace, fewer people see the point of having a second device just to take pictures. According to Statista’s 2023 data, fewer representatives of the younger generation—those aged 18 to 29, in this case—owned a digital camera compared to their older counterparts (those 30 to 64 years of age). Of the former group, 28% people reportedly owned a camera vs. 34-36% of the older respondents who did.

    The fact that camera phones are overtaking actual cameras is evident by looking at the statistics of camera industry growth; or lack of the latter. According to a Japan-based industry group, CIPA, comprising members such as OM Digital Solutions (formerly Olympus), Canon and Nikon, camera shipments worldwide have dropped by 93 percent between 2010 and 2022, Statista reports. In 2022, there were just over two million cameras with built-in lenses shipped by CIPA members, which was nearly 109 million less compared to 2010.

    Leonardo's Imola map. The historical importance of this map is not really communicated by the short description here. This is the very first city map featuring a view from above. At the time, city maps were drawn as perspective views, with the building re-oriented to face the viewer and often included symbolic additions such as beasts, or fantastic scenery. Leonardo meant to demonstrate that a "bird's view" map would prove more efficient for military planners in case of siege. This style of maps remained quite rare for over two centuries, because they were extremely difficult to draw. Leonardo's map of Imola can be perfectly overlaid to the actual satellite views and the street plan is still identical.

    This is what happens when a natural gas drill meets a sinkhole and they don't want a massive cloud of explosive methane. Also it's actually better for the environment than letting the methane vent free, since methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2.

    The Darvaza gas crater, aka the Gates of Hell, or officially, the Shining of Karakum, is a burning natural gas field, collapsed into a cavern, located in Darvaza, Turkmenistan. It has been burning since the 1980's, not 70's(mentioned below), it is unknown how the crater was formed but it was intentionally ignited to prevent poison gases from spreading. Per- Wiki

    One of my 2024 goals was to visit Turkmenistan. I’ve started the application process for a tour & was selected by one of three companies to whom I applied. However, the invitation won’t be available or valid until “early 2025,” at which time I can apply for the non-transit (tourist) visa using the invitation letter (the tour company actually had to apply for me). Then I have to wait & see if I’m extended the visa & make arrangements thru Germany to Ashgabat. So, I won’t make it to Karakum until at least a year from now. I’ve never had such a difficult time trying to gain entry to a country, but from what I have learned about the people and the land, it will be well worth it.

    According to Photutorial, now in 2024, people take an astonishing 54,000 photos every second, which equals 1.94 trillion per year. To put that into perspective, say “One Mississippi” out loud and imagine having to add 54,000 new pictures to a photo album. Seems crazy, doesn’t it?

    While a few people who regularly take pictures with their devices end up printing them and lining them up neatly in an album, many images end up online. So, if you’d like to browse more of similar random pics, we have an entire category dedicated to all sorts of weird pictures, and if you’re looking for something captured on one’s phone, here are some pictures taken on people’s camera phones, which, surprisingly, they didn’t take themselves.

    Like everything else in Iceland, it's made from concrete because that's their only local material - everything else has to be imported. "“Many would consider a country without building materials uninhabitable.” With these words, Minister of Industry Gylfi Þorsteinsson Gíslason opened Iceland’s first and only cement plant in 1958. More than a century before, Portland cement was first used as plaster on the walls of the Reykjavík cathedral. At the time, most rural and urban dwellings were still being built from local turf or expensive imported timber. Just a few decades later, Icelandic architects, engineers, and masons were building their country exclusively in concrete." https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783986120719/html

    The image is clearly tilted to increase the perspective effect. It's just a short stretch of stone steps, barely 200 meters, with a terraced cliffside and a stunning view. There have never been a reported death on the stairs.

    it's perspective that makes it look worse than it is. the terrace below is quite a way down, but it's less narrow than it looks, so you're not likely to just fall of the mountain, you'd fall onto the terrace. you can see someone on one of the terraces in the picture above, and the picture below shows a better angle that it isn't as bad as it looks. macchupicc...61854d.jpg macchupicchu-661ff2661854d.jpg

It is the world's largest underground flood water diversion facility, built to mitigate overflowing of the city's major waterways and rivers during rain and typhoon seasons.[1] It is located between Showa and Kasukabe in Saitama prefecture, on the outskirts of the city of Tokyo in the Greater Tokyo Area.

    1/10th of an iceberg is above water, so there must be a Borg Cube trapped under it.

    I always wonder how many of these brake along the ridge from where they did extencive core sample testing.. I was looking at that as a child, thinking they where quite greedy and very little considerate to consequences- drilling holes every few feet, hundreds of meters down. Day after day, for years

    It's the lack of green space that bothers me. I have lived in both urban and rural places, and have discovered, for my mental health, I need trees, grass, shrubs, flowers, nature!

    I grew up in buldings like these in Copenhagen. It was not totally bad because inside the "frames" that ppl live in there are nice areas with grass, trees, and playgrounds for the kids. Sure, it still lacks a lot of nature and animals and all that.... but it's better than no nature at all.

    Actually, he had a history of jumping back and forth across the political spectrum, particularly in his early career.

    The accident may have happened in NYC, but the photo looks very British. Check out the Police and the school boy's uniforms.

    I live south of BC. When those wild fires were bad two or three years ago our sky was like Mordor. You couldn't see the sun. There was light, but it was kind of like you were inside an orange camping tent. The light was weird and dimmer and you could barely make out where the sun was in the sky because that direction was a bit lighter.

    I could see this from my backyard last summer. Luckily the wind blew the fire and embers away from my direction. I hope this year won't be as bad (but it's not looking good).

    Sadly...just one of our many. We can empathize with Europe and everywhere else getting forest fires for the 1st time. When you go through an area 5 years after one of these fires, you see greenery but all that bare, burnt out area. Just😳🥺🥵
