Trick picture that can be made easily from our daily life

 Have you ever seen a spirit photograph? I have never seen it.

 In the first place, I think that there are no real spirit photographs. If one takes it, it is just a sham. No. It is trick art! If a photograph could trick someone, it can be said trick art.
 Well, I introduce trick pictures that can be made easily from our daily life.

 Spirit picture also can be made from accidental element. There is many pictures that have another person's face, people who have no legs and so on. But these phenomena are caused by reflected light of window, dust in the air and "pattern recognition". Pattern recognition is instinct of human. We think three dots is eyes and mouse. This is one of pattern recognition.

 Look at above picture. You will think the girl's arm is very bushy! But it is wrong. If you look it carefully, you will notice the bushy arm is a man's leg. Spirit photograph is just like this.

This is similar type of trick picture to above picture. Don't be surprised. The center woman is not naked. The cause of this trick is a woman'a fat arm.

.

 The pictures of UFO or Nessie are also trick picture. The left picture is famous picture of Nessie. There are many element that Nessie never exist. So we know this is not Nessie.











If someone take a picture of below situation, it is seen Nessie. Trick picture is so easy to take.

Next, look at this picture.

 Can you see a flying object at the upper right of this picture? Is it an UFO?

In fact, I took this picture from my room. So the UFO is just ink of a marker painted on sellotape. As another way to take UFO, taking flying disc that is like UFO. And painting UFO on a picture and take it again is common. Like this picture, you can take trick picture easily, too!

 Trick picture can be classified in few types by the situation that the picture taken.

 At first, trick pictures that use rules of perspective are common. To use rules of perspective, you can make trick about size.

If you want to try this type of trick picture, I recommend you to use a wide-angle lens. Because it can focus wide area and emphasis perspective.

　Second type is using gravitation illusion. It sounds difficult. But if there is a wall or a chair and an idea, it can be taken soon.

Third type is fusion with another thing. 

Of course, above picture is taken intentionally. But below picture is taken by chance. Thus, trick picture is hidden in our daily life.
