Confusing Optical Illusions Caught in Photographs

(Image credit: M3COPT3R4)

With so many people taking digital photos with their phones all the time, there's going to be some that will surprise or confuse you. These guys in Romania are looking down on tiny little people, but there's no Photoshop at work here. I'll explain it, but you've got to stop reading here if you want to figure it out on your own. The "big guys" are standing on the bucket of a heavy construction vehicle, high above the street. The edge of the bucket lines up nicely with the street lines, so you might not see it right off. Sometimes you spot an illusion as it happens, and since you have a camera right there with you, you record it to share, like this building in Osaka.

It's a tower that extends through a hole in the sky! Or is it  a blue ceiling with a hole in it? No, the building has a metal rim jutting out from the top, so shiny that it reflects the rest of the building. You can see it better in this picture. These are just a couple of illusions in a list of 50 of them at Bored Panda that might take you some time to figure out, but you'll be glad you saw them.
