Can You Spot the Photographs Hiding in Plain Sight?

9/16/2013

0 Comments

 
It's not too difficult to find the still photographs in this video but some seem to pop up and surprise you when you'd least suspect it. This short little video created by mustardcuffins shows photographs that "skim across the skin of reality". Awesome concept.

Thanks to the grayguy for suggesting this post

This great photo looks like it could be a huge tsunami just about to hit the shore. But it also could be the clouds rolling over the mountains in the background. What do you think?

Is this ring of dots turning clockwise or anti-clockwise. well actually its not doing either. Each individual dots is circulating anti-clockwise giving the impression that the out side is going in the opposite direction inside.
This great animation was produced by the guys over at Bees & Bombs, check out their website its excellent.

The Melancholic Princess

9/13/2013

2 Comments

 
According to legend, Robert Chang painted a picture of a Japanese girl called the Melancholic Princess. He then posted it on the Internet and committed suicide.

Some people who saw the picture, declared that, if you look at it for 5 minutes, then the picture starts to move, or age, or smile, or move – everyone saw something different.


Here are just a few of the comments we got when we showed this picture on our facebook page.

This latest optical is a modification of a recent post. This time we have two trains and if you are clever enough you can make the trains change directions. If you are really smart you can make one come and one go. Give it a try.

If you can read all these out aloud by saying the color of each word then the word itself without making a mistake you have an IQ over 100
Example, the first line is: ‘green-blue, red-purple, purple-green, blue-red’

This is an interesting flash animation. The four colored blocks are all moving at the same continuous speed, yet the black and blue blocks seems to be stopping and starting.
