Almost Too Much Fun For Photo Geeks

Just start clicking. I don’t want to give anything away.

That, my friend, is too cool.

Wow.

I feel like Dave Bowman at the end of 2001.

What is it? I just see a white box on a black background. I clicked around a lot and there’ still nothing happening. Can someone spoil it? I don’t think it works on a Mac.

I eventually got into a loop. Apparently roses are the only thing “rose colored”.

You need a Shockwave plugin for your browser, which you can get at the Adobe/Macromedia site.

Geez, I felt compelled to find the man again to finish.

Same here…I wasn’t about to quit until I looped back to him again.

You’re doing better than me. All I get is a black background.

Is this some big secret, or can someone explain what this is (for those of us who can’t see it).

You see a photo, along with a zoom box you can move with your mouse. Click the mouse, and it zooms into that part of the photo. Zoom to the level where you can see the pixels, and each pixel is itself a photo. Zoom in until you pick a single photo, and the process repeats.

I noticed two things: First, if you repeatedly click in the corners of all the photos, you eventually (fairly quickly, actually) end up all black. And second, it’s not entirely deterministic: If you get to the black cat licking itself (not too hard, if you keep hitting the corners), for instance, and then click the upper-left corner again, you might get the cat licking itself again, or you might get a close-up of a cat’s face, or a bull, or a few other black pictures.

I have an iMac 500Mhz G3 running 10.3.9, I am using Safari and I see the site fine.

In one picture, there is a girl crying and her masacara is all runny. I clicked on her right eye and when it zoomed in, it almost seemed as if there were another picture being zoomed in on. I don’t know how to explain it. The eye still looked as if it were there and you could see the tiny pictures making it up better, but it also looked like a smaller picture of the girl who has her eyes to the side. Almost like a facing profiles/vase illusion kind of thing. I couldn’t recreate it though.

Very cool indeed - already forwarded the link on to some friends. Excellent photography!

Works on mine.

Mine too. Using Firefox here.

It’s pretty damn cool.

That’s awesome - I found a bug or something though - I’m clicking on one pic, but another pops up.

Oops, ran out of edit time.
Here I have the flower (third over, third down) selected.
Then once I click it, the picture changes to one I just had.
Can anyone else get this?

I couldn’t get that particular one but it does happen now and then. I should have posted the link to the main page because as the name implies there are 10 image games to play. The site is actually Getty Images.

So if I use that site after standing up too fast, would that be like what the 60s felt like? :smiley:
