Every miner can do the trip maximum 2 times a day. They get a total of 13 $ for 180 kg Sulfur. Older miners only can shoulder 75 kg per walk. Sometimes they have no revenue because the crater is emitting poisonous gases and is closed for mining. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 14:51, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

  •  Info This is a tanned indonesian worker with dark skin complexion. You can see every detail of his skin in 100% resolution. I don't think, that brightening is the right way to enhance this photo. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 19:09, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

        • Not working? Ok, try this one, and I did not wrote that you are cheating, what I said was you could improve the image, without cheating, as using a hardcore edition mode at Photoshop. -- RTA 09:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
