Photos that bend reality, perspective, etc.

A "basic editing" challenge with perhaps some "special rules/allowances"

My take on the Penrose Triangle, in reality it doesnt exist, this is a straight photo so maybe you aren't here?

At first I thought this was another thread on the (over?)use of Dodge & Burn. ;-)

Ah....great photo with the wood triangle...

No, this is the anti-dodge and burn...in fact, and I'll specify such, it should be a "basic" editing challenge.

Andi, I would love to know how you built your Penrose triangle

Well if you look closely you can tell that the top left corner is NOT actually connected. It looks like he cut it on a mitre perfectly so that what is really two perpendicular right angles when positioned carefully look like a penrose triangle.

Great job....

My question is how many triangles did you have piled up in your garage that were just slightly not cut right or did you get it right on the first try?

Looks to me like it's just a matter of camera/object angle, anything close would have worked if rotated just so... The miter-cut end is actually located well in front of the piece it supposedly "joins"...

robert...I'm with you. A quick look at the difference in apparent sizes of the three pieces shows that the upper piece is closest to the camera. It might have been even more effective if a longer lens had been used.

all in all a "fantastic" job though IMO.

Now if he took the last beam and put it to a planer so the far end was narrower and mitred it perfectly....it'd be an 11 instead of a 10.
