In this remarkable photograph a woman appears to be giving a speech to an unseen audience – while levitating on a magic carpet with its shadow cast on the beach below.

These clever photos, by accident or design, have become more than meets the eye.

They merge apparently mundane elements into incredible juxtapositions which have a mind-bending hint of the fairytale about them
Magic carpet ride: In this optical illusion the mat the talker is standing appears to be levitating in mid-air thanks to a perfectly placed shadow supplied, presumably, by a flag flying behind the photographer

Don’t you hate it when that happens? The jet of liquid apparently emerging from this woman’s can of soft drink suggests that she’s given it a shake before pulling the ring-pull, but it is really water from the fountain ahead

Orally fixated: In the left photo a road winding up a hill in the background appears as thick smoke from his cigarette. On the right, a carefully placed subject looks like he’s feeling the effects of too many psychedelics

Delicate as a flower: The dainty woman in this photo is rendered in an even more fairytale quality by this composition, which makes it seem as though she is wearing a tulip for a skirt

With cameras often believed to reflect the real state of things, to create a facsimile of the true state of the world, when photographs show something wildly chimerical it delights the imagination.

Many of the incredible images in this set play with our sense of perspective by bringing side by side two elements that are, in fact, distant from each other in depth.

That illusion leads to such remarkable images as the festival-goer who appears to be projectile vomiting a rainbow, the ant that seems to be facing off with a helicopter at dusk, and the girl who looks as though she is wearing a tulip for a skirt

Playing with perspective: The way this photograph has juxtaposed foreground and background elements makes it seem as though the trumpeter in the sculpture is blowing a big cloud into the sky

Re: Photos Created To Make You Look Twice by coolest0(m): 11:02am On May 04, 2013
Depth of field: A similar trick is at play in this remarkable photo, where the classical-style statue seems ready to squeeze this woman’s head as she walks by oblivious

More than meets the eye: The pigeon in the left photo better watch out, it looks like he’s about to be flattened. While on the right this tiny ant shows Mother Nature is ready to face up with the fiercest human technology

So happy I could just float away… On this bride’s wedding day it seems like she can’t keep her feet on the ground

Such images are possible to create for yourself, but they require carefully executed photographic techniques to capture the required depth of field to keep each element in focus, despite the differences in distance.

Smaller apertures, shorter focal lengths and further focusing distances produce deeper depths of field, so to create an image where the background is as sharp as the foreground you will want to use a wide-angle lens set to the highest F-stop number available, and stand back a little from the subject.

This will capture the image with a hyperfocal distance, bringing all objects into focus. The finished image will be sharp from front to back.

If you have a pocket camera, setting it to landscape mode should work almost as well.

But when it comes to composition, only your imagination can point you in the right direction

Wow, very impresssve. I had to look at the first pic over and over again before seeing that it was the flag's shadow that's creating that illusion (didn't read the texts) . Op nice work.
