Is this ever cool!!! I had to try it several times.

 

[lwien]

I'd really like to know how this works.

It's like the photo acts as a negative.... but you get a color photo out of it when your eye processes it.

I was expecting to see her when I looked at the wall...
But not in color!
You've done gone blown my mind

It makes sense thinking about it, but... It also doesn't...

the imprint left in your mind (or is it eyes?) gets negated, interesting...some insight into sight.

 

[djonkoman]

it has to do with the things on your back of your eye(don't know the english terms), there are different receptors for different colors, and there is a chemical, maybe an enzyme, that gets recycled over and over. if you stare at one color, all those receptors for that color at that place are out of function for a wile untill that chemical is recycled back again, so if you look to a white surface you see all colors but that one, so the negative.

Wow guys, try this one. Who do you see?

I wanted to know where djonko's enzyme was active in the back of the eye (it's the cones AND rods), and wikipedia explained it all so well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterimage

I see some guy that really likes beer.

 

[fidget]

I see dead people

 

[lwien]

I see a ghost with hearts and sanskrit written on his sheet.

Edit: Oh, also, he has a little tail.

 

[djonkoman]

the pic itself seems like a backpack with 2 hearts on it to me, the negative I couldn't see well but looked like the typical jesus-images(long dark hair, beard etc)

if I remember it's a different chemical/enzyme in the rods and cones though, but the same process.
