Liger
Tiger Mates With Lion, Gives Birth to “Liger” Cub in Siberian Zoo.
In what local zoologists are calling a miracle, a Bengalese tiger has given birth to a healthy tiger-lion cub at a Novosibirsk zoo.
The cub is a cross between the female Bengalese tiger and an African lion. The animal resembled a lion cub except that it had stripes, and has been dubbed a “liger”, the Russian Information Agency Novosti reported.
“This was not the result of a scientific experiment,” Novosti quoted zoo director Rostislav Shilo as saying. “It’s just that the lion and the tiger live in neighboring caves in the Novosibirsk zoo, and got used to each other. It’s practically impossible in the wild.”
Shilo said that the “miracle cub” was christened Zita, and will remain in the zoo. But what will happen to the cub in the future, “no one can say”.
High dynamic range imaging
So what do you think about this photos ? Beautiful isn't it ? First time when I saw them I didn't know exactly what they are, pictures or drawings.After some research on the web I've found that what they truly are, HDR images.You might ask yourself "What the hell is HDR" ? So to spare your time I'll show you there what HDR images are.
HDRI = High Dynamic Range Imaging
High dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures (i.e a large difference between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows.
HDRI was originally developed for use with purely computer-generated images. Later, methods were developed to produce a HDR image from a set of photos taken with a range of exposures. With the rising popularity of digital cameras and easy to use desktop software, many amateur photographers have used HDRI methods to create photos of scenes with a high dynamic range. However, HDRI has many other applications and "HDRI" should not be mistaken for just this use.
Moscow Traffic is just crazy
If you love to ride your car then this city is not for you.Is about Moscow.From my perspective I think going out with your car is a total madness, that's because I live in a small city where you'll never see something like this.The situation on road like on this pictures was without any difference during all the day- both in the daytime and late at night.
