You’ll think you’re being scammed, but these photos aren’t manipulated or faked… they’re 100% real. Each of these scenes is captured just as it exists. A mishmash of perfect timing, optical illusions and simply insane nature led to the creation of this gallery. All I can say is: woah.
1. This is not a teenager miraculously walking on water: in fact, this is just a picture with perfect timing.
2. Nor is this a modern miracle of a man riding a bicycle on water: in fact, it’s just another person practicing the art of perfectly timed photographs.
3. This isn’t a photo of a fox stretched out: it’s actually a Lunar Wolf and it seriously looks that way.
4. It’s not a bad cut-and-paste job: actually, it’s a German magician who does public tricks like this.
5. This isn’t someone’s first attempt at using the Warp tool in Photoshop: actually, it’s a set of railroad tracks that were warped after an earthquake in New Zealand.
6. This isn’t a super-realistic, beautiful android: it’s actually a real woman called the Human Barbie who had surgery to look like this.
7. This is not a joke picture of a plane taking the Autobahn: actually it is a picture of a plane landing at Liepzig Airport while crossing the Autobahn.
8. It’s not a man finding an interesting way to die: actually, it’s a trick on a boat that’s meant to be on his side.
9. This isn’t someone’s lame attempt at a ghost: actually, when this lava emptied into the ocean, it just happened to bubble up and steam in a ghostly formation.
10. This is not a family photo of giants: they were actually sitting on top of a mountain that blended perfectly with the rock below.
11. This isn’t what an artist painted while on acid: it’s actually an abstract canvas that was applied to a building while it was under construction.
12. This picture of a forest was not distorted: in fact there are some trees in Poland that grew like this due to extreme weather conditions.
13. This isn’t a picture of Cthulu waking up: it’s actually just a massive wave at high tide with lots and lots of seaweed in it.
14. This isn’t a really bad Photoshop of a giant piece of pizza sitting on Earth: someone actually sent pizza into space. Serious.
15. It’s not an image of two cats pressed together: it’s actually Venus, a cat with rare brain shadow color. She is awesome.
17. No, the sky is not falling: actually this is an art installation by Neil Dawson in New Zealand.
18. This isn’t a picture of a black hole: it’s actually construction art created on a house that was scheduled to be demolished.
19. This is not a giant Minecraft map: actually it is a section of cross waves, where waves from different directions meet.
20. This gymnast didn’t lose her head in a freak accident: in fact, in the middle of the jump a picture was taken and her head was bent backwards.
21. This is not some weird photo editing of a billboard: in fact, it exists just as you see it. Smart marketing wins.
22. This is not what an artist imagines heaven to look like: it is actually a giant salt flat in Bolivia. The surface reflects and looks like a giant mirror.
23. It’s not someone having fun painting on existing photos: actually it’s optical illusion art by Felice Varini.
24. This isn’t a Photoshop version of a Mobius strip: it’s actually a photo of normal Legos taken with a telecentric lens.
Sure, Photoshop is awesome, but it turns out real life is even better.
