South Pole After Image Optical Illusion

The nature of this optical illusion is to paint a grey scale image using only your eyes.

Below is Lieutenant John Bortniak out for a stroll at the South Pole.

Focus on his nose in the center for 30-45 seconds then move your mouse over and the image it will then swap to the grey scale image, but you will see the original image in all it's glory.

Photographer: Commander John Bortniak, NOAA Corps

Stare at the image below. It will show the negative image for 10 seconds and the gray scale image for 1 second. The longer you look at it the more pronounced the effect.
