Jet Engine Optical Illusion

It is rare that an actual photograph will exhibit the feel of motion. This photo is an example of a real life anomalous motion optical illusion. Not everyone is able to see every illusion so I ask, is it just me or does this static image appear to be rotating?

High Tide Illusion

Global warming has caused the seas to rise, yet somehow women, men and fish are getting along just fine. This is an excellent photograph by flickr artist Jef Safi.

Understand that this has not been digitally manipulated in any way. How do you suppose he got this effect? I guess it could just be an experimental under water commune.

The Ghosts of No Evil

The photo artist states "No "photoshop magic" here. A little tweaking of colors and such, but that's it."

So how do you take this kind photo?

Excellently done.

The artist explains how it is done "It's just a long exposure and multiple manually-triggered flash firings."

Prints are available through the artist.

DIY Tower Topple Illusion

Every time I see a do-it-yourself optical illusion with the Leaning Tower of Pisa the people are trying to hold the tower up.

It is refreshing to to see someone trying to kick the tower over. I think with a couple more well placed kicks we can finally be rid of this eye sore.

The Terrace Optical Illusion

This illusion was created by David MacDonald. He describes the process,
"All my images are made the same way. I create a "matrix" in CorelDRAW according to strict rules of perspective, except for the false connections. This is then brought into Photo-Paint where it is "rendered" with purpose-taken, digitally photographed textures and objects. A print-out of the matrix is used as a reference guide during photography to help ensure that the objects are photographed with the correct point of view to fit."
This illusion took "in the region of sixty purpose taken photographs."

A wonderful blend of photography and digital imaging.

Escher in the City

Here is a digitally manipulated photo created in the style of M.C. Escher, purposefully designed to make you question which way is up. How many different photos were used in creating this photo?

Fire and Water Optical Illusion

If you had a need to boil water and only had a candle and a glass, what would you do? If you were photographer Georg Pillwein you would be creative and boil the water from inside the glass.

Having the flame directly in the water has to be a very efficient way to transfer energy to the water. I only wonder why other folks didn't think of this earlier.

If you wish to use this photograph or any other that Georg has on his site drop him a line.

Illusion of Danger

I have seen this image around the net for awhile now. I thought that I would post it here because everywhere I saw this image posted people assumed it was this big shark and they all wondered if this photo had been altered in any way. The truth is this picture is real and has not been doctored in any way. After all it comes from surfshooter.com a site that specializes in surf action pictures.



The illusion of danger comes from our minds. We see this and automatically think shark, but the reality is that this is a dolphin. Click on the picture to go to surfshooter.com. They have a second shot where the tail of the dolphin is easier to see and identify.
