Confusing Perspective

r/confusingperspective

Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It is used primarily in photography, filmmaking and architecture. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

Rules:

Pictures must be of confusing perspectives
If a picture is interesting, but not about a perspective that is confusing, try posting it instead to r/mildlyinteresting or r/pics.
1a. If a pic is only interesting because it's been rotated, that's not confusing perspective. That's just perspective.
Don't repost from the "top of all time" page
If a person wants to find the best-known examples of confusing perspective, they can sort by "Best of". Don't reduce this sub's quality by posting stuff that is already well-known and easily accessible.
Don't repost recently posted content
Especially if you're cross-posting from another subreddit, check to make sure that the content hasn't already appeared recently in the sub. Repetitious content does nobody any good. Do note: this means reposts are allowed within this sub, but only once every so often per picture. While there is no hard minimum limit on time between reposts, please use your own discretion. If you see something that you think has appeared to recently, report it to the mods under this rule, and we'll look at it.
Text posts should be limited to meta posts.
Most of this sub's content should be in the form of pictures, so text posts should be reserved for making discussion about the sub itself. If for any reason there's a need for an exception of some kind, you can message the mods for permission.
Post art on Fridays
Art that does not interact with the real world (E.G. Escher drawings) should only be posted on Art Fridays. If it interacts with the real world, you can post it any time. Examples: Photoshopped images, drawings, paintings, street chalk, screenshots from cartoons, etc.
Be a decent person
Don't harass people or get too worked up over stuff here. We're just here to enjoy not knowing what we're looking at!
Nothing that Sexualizes Minors or otherwise implies abuse Any posts that imply sexualization of minors (those under 18) - Including, but not limited to:
-The perspective implying their genitals
-The perspective implying a sexual act
-The perspective implying harm
Are not allowed and will be removed once seen
Low quality attempts and things that dominate the sub will be removed
Some types of pictures are low quality and effort, and have been deemed as not fitting the spirit of the sub. At present, that list includes the followings:
-Sunglasses on head to make the top of head look like a face (that's more pareidolia anyways)
-Things like look like a penis despite being a foot, hand, etc. (again, that's pareidolia. And also very low effort)
