Optical Illusions & Interesting photos

Im really interesting in these type of photos so thought id share some with you all.
You may or may not have seen some of these already. Feel free to add your own!

On the first two you have to stare at the middle of the picture for 30-40 seconds, preferably without blinking!
Then stare at a blank light coloured wall or ceiling and an image will appear!

Have fun looking! :gopher:

Have to cross your eyes to see the images as this 3d kind of looking thing. best way I can describe is to look at the top one as if your looking at something behind it, then it will blur and should eventually come into focus when your brain works out the patterns.

Second one you have to cross your eyes so the image separates into two copies of itself, then you uncross slowly until the two middle ones overlap so it should look like 3 of the images. The centre one will come into focus with a 3d look to it as well.

I_I = image
I_I I_I (side by side)= cross eyes so its blurred = I_I I_I I_I I_I(2 versions now albeit somewhat blurry!) +focus a little = I_I I_I I_I if that makes sense..

Oooo its making my eyes go funny lol i cant work the top one out, i can see theres loads of people though!

There's a trick to it but once you figure it out it's easy to do it. They are also commonly know as magic eyes. It actually has nothing to do with the pattern lol. It forms 2 waves, the top one says in and out and the bottom one says out and in. I just thought it was a good example because the 3d effect is quite noticeable when you get it. Some are a lot more subtle. It is a bit odd, you have to mess around with focusing your eyes near the end when it's just starting to appear well I do anyhow.

Bearing in mind you have to be looking through it sort of. A tip I seen before is to imagine a white ball floating above and behind the image or in this case your monitor. Then imagine the ball floating down behind the monitor(stops behind the magic eye) and just keep looking at the imaginary ball. The blurry magic eye should do its thing then after a few seconds to a minute. If it just looks like a mess still after a while your probably not getting it right lol.

I remember seeing images like this aaaaaaages ago when i was at school but i never was able to work them out! Ok il try and do it now, thanks for the tips!
Feel free to add anymore ;)

Cool thread Tia, here's my all time favourite.

Does the brown square at the top of the Rubik's cube appear to be identical in colour with the yellow square this is in the middle of the side?

Focus on one wheel, and you see it's not moving.
But move your eyes around from one wheel to the
next, and all of them appear to be spinning.:D

they are the same shade of grey because B is covered by the shadow... making it seem darker then it actually is. also the baackground colours are different, effecting you eyes. quite cool when you think about it. nice.
