He’s just a dude and he’s on fire
… Was the 2nd photographer also on fire?
It would have been funny if the person taking picture of that person was surrounded in flames

Not sure I understand why they’re being called a bot, that explanation makes perfect sense.
This is why you can’t walk on lava, even when you’ve poured water over it to cool it down and turn it into stone, because it’s still hella hot and you’d burn your feet, unlike in computer games like minecraft.
You also don’t know how strong the shell is and you could break it and fall into lava.
Shout out to Noita for having the same mechanic. In the default mode, you start with a flask of water, and if you get to the bottom of the first biome and go to the right, there’s a lake of lava. A full flask is just enough to make a bridge of lava.
Worse, IRL molten lava is mostly solid like you see in the photo, not red water. If it’s as viscous as water (or close to that), it’s MUCH hotter and the air nearby would kill you. But that’s how it’s portrayed in the game. In a lot of games. Like Mario 1.
Getting back to Noita, to be fair to it, it is a pixel physics simulator. Every pixel’s physics are simulated in real time. So it’s not a pure bridge. Some pixels stay lava, and if you touch them, you take a slight amount of damage. Mostly if you’re conservative with your water. Me, I like burrowing through the ceiling and dumping the lake above on it. Then again, if you can get under the lava, there’s a nice little present waiting for you… best to get to the third biome and come up from under, though.
This picture is staged
Yep I remember this picture and reading about how they put lighter fluid or something like that on the tripod legs and his shoes.
But…but…who took THAT picture!?
It’s only a bit of fire nothing to worry about
I don’t usually AI jacket but even if this were somehow real despite the absurdity it’s presented in an album with other clearly generated images.
I believe those pictures were from NatGeo before the AI craze.
But I have no source.I could maybe be convinced this one is fine but several of the other images in the linked source have wrong poses, deformed feet.
In many cases one would definitely get deformed feet in this situation.
Yep. Tennis shoes on 300C+ rock not particularly good protection
When I’m filming or taking a photograph of something I swear my brain simply shuts down.
I’m over here 10 feet behind this guy like "I’m going to grab the 200mm, this 100mm zoom isn’t cutting it.
Still shows his dedication to taking great pictures
Guess he never played the floor is lava as a kid.
On the contrary, he spent the last few years building up an immunity to lava.

Hell yeah, loved this album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyj1K5Lyr_Y
Praise the cameraman
