  •  Info Mud flow out of a Berca Mud volcano, a geological and botanical reservation located close to Berca, Buzău County, Romania. The phenomenon is caused due to gases that erupt from 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles.

  •  Question - Is the blur in the mud stream motion blur because it's moving a lot in 1/60 of a second? If so, perhaps that info should be appended to the file description, and I would support the photo. If not, what's causing the blur and might you be able to fix it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:57, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Ikan, yes, the blur in the middle of the channel is due to the moving flow and that is the spark of this picture. The flow occured in waves, it was quite for approx 20 seconds and it moved for about 1 second. If I had used a higher shutter speed or taken pictures during the quiet phases, it would look everywhere sharp, but that wasn't my purpose. Poco2 09:35, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
