Optical Illusions

I've never studied photography, but I always have my camera on me and experiment - A LOT! In talking about visual perception, we know that things aren't always what they seem, and that what we see can be different from what another sees.

Take a look at some photos I've taken this year. What do you see (or think you see?)? What elements have I used to make the photo a good one?

The photos are very good and very interesting. In the first photo I can see Cat with a sunglasses and two persons reflected in the sunglasses.
In the second I see a street that can be a street in pamploona a San Fermin's day haha;).
In the third photo I see a building with big windows.
The fourth photo I don't have any idea of what is it x).
In the fifth photo I can see a woman and a man dancing flamenco.
The sixth photo can be a museum but I'm not sure.
The seventh photo is a frozen branch of a tree.
In the eighth photo I see a typical''azulejos'' of the houses of Seville.
In the ninth photo I see a typical moroccan slippers.
In the tenth photo I see a arch of a cathedral.
bye bye and I like the photos very much!

Hello Cat!

Today in class we did an exercise. I think it's very cool and we can learn about the visual perception. It's a very good form to learn in art class.

GoodBye!

Cat, you may not believe me, but the photo I think that is the most curious one, it is the first. That's because of the people reflected in your glasses. OK, well, I see them in one of the "glasses' crystals", but I CAN SEE THEM IN THE OTHER ONE, EVEN IN THE SAME (AND EXACTLY)POSITION! The other photos are quite good, but this one is so curious for me, I don't know what do my classmates think.

Hi!

These photos are really good and explain so well some optical illusions. Last Art class on Thursday was great! I learned a lot and it was fun. I like the photos.
I like to make photos too, but I don't have my own camera yet.

Bye!
