For nearly two centuries, the science and art of photography has allowed people to capture the world around them through carefully crafted camera lenses. But not all lenses are created equal. While most lenses only want to please, other lenses mainly want to charm. Today we will look at the most interesting lenses in the history of photography.
Sweet anticipation is for most women one of the most important periods of their lives. Let alone if the first ultrasound scan predicts twins! Then the anticipation is even more exciting. Let's take a look at 15 of the most beautiful photos immortalizing cute newborn twin brothers and sisters.
You know when a magician performs a trick and you scratch your head trying to figure out how he did it. The following series of photos where optical illusions are at work will leave you equally stunned and confused. Photographs play the role of magicians, performing an optical illusion trick with the help of perspective, which causes our brain to interpret the image differently than it actually is. It is a little known fact that optical illusions surround us all the time, even if we are not even aware of it. And here are 15 proofs.
Israeli photographer Victor Bezrukov selected the 16 best photos with convincing shadows in the competition.
The illusion of film is something that has always been more than just entertainment. This is a journey through another time, on another planet, to other worlds, but only a photo from the background or behind the scenes will prove that the illusion is still only an illusion. Take a look at the photos from behind the scenes of the cult films that brought the "seventh art" to the pedestal of adoration.

Man is a being who creates history and cannot repeat his past, nor can he forget it. It should not be written with prejudice and it is necessary to give the view of both sides, even when it is only one side. And if some people think that history is actually little more than a list of crimes, follies and human misfortunes, rare historical photographs deny this.
Every now and then we accidentally get a photo that says more than the author of the photo wanted to say. In other words, our brain forces us to interpret. The gallery in this article is a test of your virtue, or a test of whether you see what those with slightly more depraved minds than average see.
In photography, everything revolves around light and perspective, and nowhere is this more expressed than in a series of 25 two-part photographs, where the main subject and his shadow talk past each other and where the shadows momentarily 'step out of the shadows'. At the same time, it should be added that none of the photos went under the knife of the famous photo manipulation surgeon Dr. Photoshop, so everything you see is completely natural.
Photoshop may be the most common way to change a photo's story, but photo cropping, that "low-tech" version of photo manipulation, can be just as effective. This technique works because our brain is constantly trying to understand what is happening around us. And when we see only part of the picture, we instinctively try to imagine what is around the frame. Do you think we are showing you dirty photos? Blame your brain, not us!
An old poetic saying says that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, but today healthcare adds to that that of health as well. With them I express my mood - joy, anger, love, hatred, sadness... They are the door to the soul of fellow human beings and one of the first contacts of man with the world. They speak their own language and often say more than a thousand words, just like photographs. And the French photographer Réhahn, one of those photographers who can perfectly capture human emotions, offered us a day of open doors into the souls of many people from different parts of the world.
Turkish artist and photographer Zeren Badar has an admirable ability to create stunning creations that happen "a little by accident". A bit of a stretch, but his "Accidents Series" seem like a spontaneous mix of random objects placed on faded photographs.
