Flying Boys and Cats

Caitlin Parks sent me these two photos she made. They are really fun as you may see. When I think about it, it so simple to make your very own optical illusion. Everything you need is just a little bit of imagination and there you have it! I just hope that cat doesn’t fall on her friend’s face :)If you look at the first picture more closely, you can notice Foxtrot comic on the billboard in the back. This reminded me of our Foxtrot optical illusion that was posted while back, remember it? For similar illusions check: levitation secret, flying yogi, Johan Lorbeer and more in outdoors category!

  1. You can easily make these ‘optical illustions’ yourself, all you need is a camera with a fast shutter speed, a cat to throw and a boy to jump off his bed onto a bean bag

    1. lol sry but tht souded funny. “a cat to throw.” lol funny thought, chucking a cat across the room.

  2. Very nice..
    Althouhg you can easaly see that the boy is’nt “flying”.. his feet are still on the bed..
    you’re absolutly right sean, i did a photo like that once

  3. This is my friend’s picture. I was right there next to the camera. It was fun. His feet were off the bed and he wqas jumping. We all did it, but this was a great camera angle. The cat picture looks really cool. It wasn’t expected though!

  4. question
    optical illusion?
    no.
    taking the picture with a slr,
    adjusting shutter speed?
    yes.

    it doesnt even need to be good timing.
    this is horrible

  5. Ummm, yeah Mr. Anonymous she didn’t mean for this to be an optical illusion- she just took this picture and found that it looked interesting. She’s not here to give everybody some perfect illusion, and she didn’t change the shutter speed, whatever that is.

  6. Whats very strange about those pictures is the shadows, only the boy, the man have a shadow.

    So this could possibly mean two things either it was photoshop’ed. Or the background is painted on and the in the case the boy, the camera has been turned on its side.

  7. the first one might be a sticker.look closely.and you can do the second one by jumping.look at the boy . you can do that by jumping.
