I thought I'd share some illusions with you. I like these ones because they relate to colour, and we all know how important colour is in photography.

Yellow and Blue Squares:

Look at the image on the left. How many blue squares do you see? Now look at the cube on the right, how many yellow squares do you see? I see 4 blue and 7 yellow, how about you?

Well what if I told you that the blue and yellow squares were all actually the same colour?

Grey. Have another look:
