    MY WORK HERE IS DONE

  • @Prashantusingtube Thanks Captain!

  • that's a good perspective of flatland. :D

  • I'll give him credit. It's a good pic. The pic should have been shown full frame at the beginning.

  • hey look, shadows of camels, im going to take pictures and call myself a pro

  • who is stupid enough to think the big shadow was a camel?? you stupid this whole thing was stupid nothing illusive about it

  • a 13 minute ad on a 1 minute video. wow.

  • Hahahhahah the most stupid comets I've ever read hahhah you all the are a clowns haha is only a picture from the top and the result is the happiness shadow haha. Take a picture of a black people and you get a black shadows hahahah

  • plz some1 tell MinmatarThrasher....

  • to MinmatarThrasher ,

    because you saw the close up firstly.

  • they edited this wrong, you are supposed to see the full frame of the picture first, so that the camel shadows look like the real camels...

  • face problem.. lol

  • These people took this from google earth.I wound up getting google earth and then looking up videos for neat things to look at and a few of the videos had these camels... Wow sad they got this from a simple app for your computer.

  • The camel shadows look like the real camel and the real camel looks like the shadow.

  • its very nice photo...

  • can someone please explain this to mee...

  • a very good example of optical illusion

    

  • a very good example of optical illusion

  • The illusion is that the shadows look like the actual camel

  • for a person out of this world it will confuse him >>>the idea is >>it may happen to us and we dont know ! >we have to change the way we look to the world around us ...there is a lot hidden under the shadows  !!

  • How the fuck is this an illusion?

  • Gostei e acho muito bem feito

  • its all jay-z's family

  • they should have showed the camel picture from higher up first, otherwise it doesn't look like an illusion when you dont have the original to compare it to

  • so we are seeing a top down view of the camels?

  • Huh... cool picture.

  • IT ISNT A illusion ! geeez i see the camels its their shadows!

  • great :))

  • there are not camel but dromaderies...

  • heheheee shadow walking on a camel.........! illusion kicks me!

  • i hate forced commercials!

  • that is beautiful

  • wha'd I miss??? what's the illusion???

  • how do I get a copy of this and what size

  • Hmmmmmmmmm. Pretty sure I asked for Pecan Sandies. ___

  • they look like camels riding cello's :/

  • i dont know what the sit that you talking all about this

  • i have this book

  • awesome picture

  • That is actually a really cool picture.

  • Those camels look like rubber chickens.

  • well to begin,, u shouldn't given out the illusion at the VERY BEGINNING! 

  • repost

  • Egyptian Food

  • I do the same thing with my dick.

  • L to the I to the N to the K, wears tights everyday don't give a damn what you say, got bigger balls than evil-kanevil, and he wont stop till the world is free of evil.....

  • pretty cool indeed.

  • Cool.

    Why would someone "dislike" it?

  • pretty cool

    

  • the top comment is douchey...

  • Solo son siluetas de camellos creados sombra cual es la genialidad maldita sea'¡¡

  • The "illusion" is that when viewed from far enough away (like at the end of the video) you first think that the camels are the shadows and that the camels themselves are the shadow. As you zoom in closer (like in the beginning of the video), you realize it's the other way around. The video is flawed, because it should have started zoomed out and THEN zoomed in.

  • Y dónde está la ilusión?

    Veo los camellos y sus sombras en una fotografía tomada desde el aire :\

  • photography fans are so opsessed with photography, but there is no denying their talent of findind amazing stuff to photograph things that other might not consider anything too special. you'd think it's just the thing that you're photographing that matters, yet these people proove that just the angle from which you take the picture can make a good picture amazing.

  • lol cool

  • it's just shadows of camels.

  • I think this camel picture is way cool!

  • I'm surprised they didn't blame this picture on global warming

  • Silly people, end the argument. Here is the photograph in question, nationalgeographic. com/wallpaper/ngm/50-best/came­ls-aerial-johns/

  • This picture is so old.

  • so where's the illusion

    I see camels from an overhead camera and their shadows.

  • @MinmatarThrasher Yeah, they killed the illusion by showing us a close up first. Bah!

  • @PigCop that's true, it would have been more impressive if they showed the picture at the end first

  • @MinmatarThrasher His point is, that if watching the picture for a longer period of time, one will start to question the very details of it. It's a matter of detailed pixels. 

  • @MinmatarThrasher Not everyone is as smart as you and me.

  • @MinmatarThrasher but where is the photographers shadow???

  • @MinmatarThrasher it's suppose to be a mirage I am guessing,

  • @eviltube I know..... And I was commenting on my thoughts of the video. See original post.

  • No, its a fucking shadow from an upright camel. Fuck National Geographic is worse than the fucking History Channel these days.

    I'm surprised Dog Whisperer wasn't mentioned in this video somewhere.

  • @TheRimDoctor

    Read a few words on the internet and think you're a fucking professor?

    where is your fucking talent? C'MON you uneducated piece of shit.. Show the world what you got...I bet you can't even pull your own trousers up. So sit down STFU and listen you theory-ridden punk

  • @Kai2oo6remix what are you getting on with?

  • @michu070 I thought it was cool.. but it narrator was making it sound like it was one of the most profound things ever.

    To those calling others idiots: you auto. resort to name calling at others who have differences in opinion. I'm sure life is SOOO beautiful through your eyes

  • @otezshaw He's just talking about what he enjoys. He's not forcing you to like it as much as he does.

  • that is cool

  • ... o.O

  • wow very artistic. beautiful.

  • WOOOOOOOOOWWWW.... not.

  • @iiZombiee Shouldn't you be studying during your lunch break?

  • @eviltube1111 Was I supposed to feel offended by your reply? =S 'Cuz if so; it didn't work. Good day.

  • it's a fabulous photograph, but how on earth is this an abstract illusion ?

  • they should have shown the further away picture first. THAT would have been like an illusion. now we will have a million people commenting "omg, they are so visible, whats wrong with this guy??? I am soooo dissappointed and pissed off now, my life sucks!"

    always happens on youtube, doesnt it?

  • @SchwarzundWeis your right, people are talking shit because they showed the pic up close so you are able to tell the camel from the shadow....but if they would have shown it from far away first then the trolls still woulda have something to complain about.

  • @SchwarzundWeis

    I finally got it. The upclose shot lacks detail so you think the shadow is the camel and the fuzzy camel looks like a shadow. From further away, you can see that it is an aerial shot of the camels with the sun casting a long shadow. No big deal.

    Nothing special.

  • You guys are so close minded. At first glance from FAR away, you may think the shadow is the camel and the camel is the shadow. The whole point of this was to show how it was reversed and this "simple thing" can trick your mind from a FAR point of view, just like a mirage. Of course, none of us are experiencing from such hallucinations, so of course we'll think this is nothing.

  • It's a very cool picture, but it isn't an illusion....

  • No it's camels & their shadow. I think this dude has spent too much time in the desert

  • LOL

  • no its not an "illusion" but it is freaking awesome to look at. i mean come on... give it credit. for being cool

  • Just farting :-)

  • I'm not a photographer so maybe I don't appreciate it in such a way.. its just a shadow. And that's what shadows do.. I agree, hardly worth making a short.

  • @otezshaw come on now. you really dont think that picture looked awesome? i mean really? i just feel sorry for ya

  • If they started by showing the picture as they do at 1:08 there would have been a lot less idiots bitching about how it "isn't an illusion from any perspective".

  • sooo... the camel shadows look like real camels?

    wooooow...

    —_—

  • Got it at first glance, not quite an illusion for me :(

  • Aren't these dromedaries?

  • "And then we discovered this was Africa, and these were giraffes.."

  • It's a fine image... but it hardly deserves a short video.

  • Still a cool fucking photo

  • Camels are not totally black so the things that are shaped like Camels are shadows and he is flying exactly over them early in the day or late in the day but that isn't a mirage...

  • they just copied and paste the camels, nothing to be agitated about

  • the comments being posted by group think are an embarrassment for mankind

  • You have to be creative/artistic to understand this.

    And I do.

    Everyone else wont understand.

  • people are fucking stupid. obviously the shadow is in fact the shadow but at first glance it just looks like a drawing or cave painting type thing of a bunch of camels from the side. people are always the dumbest when they think they are being smart it seems.

  • You mean to tell me that camels aren't all black and laying on their sides all the time? I don't buy it.

  • Awesome pic coz the shadows look perfect..took a while b4 I get the pic. But NOT an illusion.

  • The heat is so utterly stifling? He is exaggerating. During summers we live in temperatures reaching 52 Celsius. Little kids enjoy playing Football bare footed on Asphalt. Grow a dick and welcome to the middle east.

  • all great comments

  • just got trolled by national geographic.

  • rly cool pic but not an illusion

  • It's a great photo but hardly an illusion.

  • what

  • well, good pictures, i took like 10 seconds to realize the reality

  • not an illusion but its pretty good

  • OH SHIT I TOTALLY THOUGHT THOSE SHADOWS WERE CAMELS!!!! Then I realized I'm not retarded or high as fuck.

  • Lol, this guy has been out in the desert for too long

  • whaaaa...

    it's just a picture of camels with shadows

    in a desert

    that's it.

    nothing to get dramatic about.

  • Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

  • Ill have whatever he is having.

  • OMG IMA ILLUSIONING!!!! -1

  • people like this make so simple things...soo complicated

  • crazy artiest

  • Gee... Shadows !

  • camels crossing the desert. what a surprise. hes indeed very lucky he ran into that.

  • the guy failed as a 'photographer'

  • National Geographic has gone shitty, anyone can tell that those are shadows. This guy seems to be over elaborating on what isn't much.

  • It looks like a wall painting at first. Like glyph camels. Then you realize it's from the air. Great work!
