At first sight these photos seem ordinary, unremarkable. On closer inspection you can see that each picture has a clever feature. A case of a camera man showing opportunism.

Two Cool Heads – Or Just One?


Clever photography, or a lucky miss?
What Did you Say?

Clever, but I would not have spotted the fortuitous juxtaposition if I had not seen the first three pictures. It would have been even better, if the photographer had distilled the idea and posed a girl in a white dress, rather than a boy in blue shirt.

Good snap-shots are often about seizing the opportunity.

What Do You Think About These Two Pictures?

Marvellous Visual Illusion
These images are actually identical, but the tower on the right looks more lopsided because the human visual system treats the two images as one scene. Our brains have learned that two tall objects in our view will usually rise at the same angle but converge toward the top. Because these towers are parallel, they do not converge, so the visual system thinks they must be rising at different angles.

Something Different – Intelligent Use of Shadow

Same statue, but now we have night-time shadow, clever photography.

Another patient use of shadow
