Little Big Landscapes
These awesome photos were taken by tilt-shift lens principle and one could simply call them optical illusions because what you have before you are actually … real existing places and not some miniatures!

Afterlife Series by Heikki Leis
These photographs will change the way you look at spoiled food. Posed dramatically in chiaroscuro lightning, they emerge from darkness with its ridges of rot, velvet layers of fungi, bubbles of tinted perspiration. Artist Heikki Leis, born and working in Tartu, Estonia, studied art, masonry and sculpture and his specialty is hyperrealist pen and pencil drawings. He calls this series Afterlife, appropriately. You’ll forget you’re looking at some indistinguishable vegetable. You’ll think you’re looking at alien landscapes or intricate mixed media sculptures, anything but something “dead” and rotting. They’re just so damn pretty.

Ingenious Photo-Manipulation
Photo-manipulation is a powerful tool that makes people believe in impossible things. Guys from Worth1000 know this well and are doing all they can to make your lower jaw drop repeatedly!

Alternate Perspectives by Randy Scott Slavin
We love this new photo series by photographer Randy Scott Slavin who has managed to take some American landmarks and give them a completely different spin.
Based in New York Slavin uses high tech software to stitch together images to create great 360 degree views of some of America’s most recognise buildings and sites. Each image in the Alternate Perspective can take anything from a day to a few weeks to finish with the final products being put on display in July.

Miniature World Inside Toilet Paper Tubes
French painter/collage artist Anastasia Elias proves it with a tiny stage, it creates inside cardboard toilet paper tubes.
Anastasia Elias did less art all over the place, inside a roll of toilet paper. Using of paper, similar to the roll itself, it gives the illusion that the scene taking place inside the walls are actually part of the roll itself. Detail and depth of each piece is very nice. She claims it only takes her an hour to complete one, which is also impressive. Amazing works!

Most Unusual Gravestones
These people kept their sense of humor even in the darkest of the hours, yes, even in death. Admirable feat I must say! Enjoy!

Awesome Infinity Edge Pools
An infinity edge pool (also named negative edge, zero edge, disappearing edge or vanishing edge pool) is a swimming or reflecting pool which produces a visual effect of water extending to the horizon, vanishing, or extending to “infinity”. The term also is used to describe (however, incorrectly) perimeter overflow pools (pools that may be on level parcels, wherein the water flows over one or more edges, usually flush with the decking elevation). One type of location in which the effect is particularly impressive is where the infinity edge appears to merge with a larger body of water such as the ocean, with the sky (if the pool is located on the side of a hill or field of green).

Tilt-shift Photography

Tilt-shift Photography
“Tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital postprocessing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.

Pencil Vs Camera

Pencil Vs Camera
 A talented illustrator and photographer, Ben Heine has put together an amazing ongoing project called ‘Pencil Vs Camera.’ His creative thinking combines both art and pictures portraying two different things within the same scene. Ben creates a strong perspective for the viewer by expertly matching the lines of the background scenery. These visual impacts have become a favorite among artists and photographers.

Creative Art With Scrap
 Awesome way to give a second life to scrap materials.

International Day Of Pillow Fights
 Feathers flying all over the the place – more than 130 cities participated in the fourth annual International Day of Pillow Fights. Wish I was there.

Exhibition named “Untitled” can be seen in New York, theme of this exhibition is everything connected to the reflections.

 Insect wings, water colors, ink and pen combined by the crafty hands of artists Yasmina Alaoui and Marco Guerra gave us these fascinating murals.

Not Your Everyday Sledge
People racing down the mountain on almost anything but sledges.
