“Here’s something that’ll blow your mind (sorry that it’s an ad): stare at the colored dots on this girl’s nose for 30 seconds, then quickly look at a white wall or ceiling (or anything pure white) and start blinking rapidly. Congratulations, you just processed a negative with your brain!

Now this time the acrobatics is ridiculous, with these women doing what they believe to be representing Bharata Natyam,,Kuchipudi and folding hands atrociously imagining to portray Indian Culture.
There can be no other way of insulting Art.
Why can’t they restrict to their old style of jumping in the air, smiling vacantly?
This is actually an image showing 24-hours of a day and night in one single, stunning photograph.

Stupendous!
What is the small wheel like thing sticking out at the bottom (!) of the Earth?
Technically is it possible to take a photograph like this, as the Photographer will be at a point in the Earth?
Snapper Chris Kotsiopoloulos created the 360 degree shot from sunrise to sunset in Sounio, Greece.
He spent 30 hours overlooking a beautiful rural vista to prepare and capture the amazing panoramic, taking hundreds of images which were later stitched together.
And he was forced to use a HAIRDRYER to keep the lens from getting too moist.
Patient Chris said: “I had to stay in the same place alone for 30 hours in total to get everything right, prepare and take the pictures.
“At night it became even more difficult because I had to keep my eyes open and inspect the camera lens for moisture.
“The temperature dropped to about three degrees Celsius, so this wasn’t very easy.
“I was equipped with a hairdryer in order to use it on the lens in case of moisture.
“Fortunately, I have a very understanding wife who almost never complains.”
These might look like photographs, but it’s not all black and white when it comes to the work of this artist.
Despite looking like they have been captured on a camera, these are actually hand-drawn images created by hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden.
The 47-year-old, from Scotland, is able to recreate photos in amazing detail, often just using only a pencil.
From the wrinkles on a woman’s face, a puff of smoke from a cigarette or dripping water – Cadden’s drawings look unbelievably realistic
Hyperrealism was born from the idea of photorealism, which are paintings based on photographs but created in a non-photographic medium.
Taking an average of between three and six weeks to produce, Cadden creates about seven pieces each year – which usually come in A1 or A0 sizes – and sell at galleries for up to £5,000 each.
A spokesman for London’s Plus One Gallery, which is featuring Cadden’s work in its current hyperrealism exhibition, said: ‘When you look at a picture of his work, they do look like photographs.
‘But when you see it in a gallery up close, you can tell it’s a drawing. The detail is incredible.’
Cadden, from Glasgow, was last year shortlisted for Artist of the Year 2011 for his drawing, ‘Painted context’.
