this makes my brain hurt.

Uck.

Seriously, it's as if my eyes or my brain are trying to make more sense of it than is quite there, and something physically starts to hurt. Very strange!

This does not exist in nature.

Exactly.

Wow! cool! I just start wondering exactly how he did it. Must have been with several photos taken in series and then spliced together with the still top half. But yeah, it's kinda disturbing on the eyes.

No, I think it's one photograph with a mirror image of that photograph upside-down on the bottom and some kind of effect (out of my realm of knowledge) which makes the bottom mirror image ripple.

Yeah, that would make sense, too. It's weird, but wonderful, in a disturbing sort of way.

It makes my brain go 'splody :).

Yes. The Java language has the ability to take images and to do "software" things with them, the image there is a Java Applet. For the bottom part of the image it's simulating a wave and figuring out where in the main static image the reflection would go to for each pixel "in the water" (or doing some approximation to that calculation that's close enough for the purpose.)


I don't find the effect very satisfying, particularly with this picture, where it doesn't work. The waves are too fast, etc. But I'm just being a bitch. ;)

That is sooooo cool!
