What was the most interesting thing you randomly spotted in real life that you just had to capture and share with others? It's amazing how many things surround us that are far more intriguing and maybe even weird, but we often don't pay enough attention to notice them. It may just take a particular moment to discover something that won't be visible in a couple of minutes. Sometimes it's the lighting creating unique artifacts, and from our perspective, something very ordinary suddenly looks like it's out of this world.
There are people who specialize in capturing these funny coincidences and sharing them online. Often, they are street photographers who have a keen eye for their surroundings and capture the most interesting moments. However, anyone can get lucky and come across something extraordinary. The Facebook page 'Mildly Interesting' features unique images shared by people online.
Scroll down and see if there's still something that may surprise you. If you find something mind-blowing, let us know in the comment section which image stood out the most to you.

For this article, we got in touch with a street photographer from Greece, Anthimos Ntagkas, who specializes in capturing very unique and interesting shots of his surroundings. The whole magic of photos taken by Anthimos lies in finding little details no one else pays attention to in order to create a fresh image that's surprising for the viewer. That is why we found a correlation between the pictures featured in today’s post, which can cause an odd feeling of satisfaction while looking at them, and those taken by Ntagkas.
We asked the photographer how he approaches finding and selecting the elements on the streets that he later combines in his photographs. Ntagkas shared with us: “When I first started to take photos, I used to find a place in the streets that I liked and wait for people to come by. But this has changed. Nowadays, I don't choose the place, but I make every location work for me. I combine people with elements everywhere I am.”

Since Anthimos has years of experience in street photography, we wanted him to describe a specific photograph where he successfully combined elements found on the streets to create a visually satisfying and fresh composition. We were curious about what made this composition stand out. We were told: “The photographs that I found most interesting are the ones with the juxtaposition. The connection between two different themes or even more inside one photo is very intriguing to work for. Luckily the themes in this type of photography are endless and I never lose interest in photography; that’s why I love street photography.”

Asked how he manages to strike a balance between the spontaneity of capturing elements on the streets and the need to create a cohesive and visually pleasing composition, the photographer answered: “I get influenced by a lot of photographers who relate to this subject of photography, but my main concern is always to do something completely different each and every time.”

Lastly, we were wondering if there are any particular themes or concepts that Anthimos Ntagkas finds work well when combining elements from the streets. The photographer told us: “Street photography is more challenging, artistic, and creative than other forms of photography and that was very appealing to me. It’s not only capturing the moment and the people in the streets but you also have to be an artistic director in order to combine people and elements from a fascinating perspective. It is very important to see the work of other street photographers, and always try to incorporate your own personal identity in your photos. Everything plays a role when trying to capture a unique moment. First of all, it is experience and persistence and sometimes it is only luck.”

Where British Columbia's Silty Fraser River Water Meets The Pacific Ocean

Our coasts in the UK look like that nowadays- but it's not silty water - it's sewage that our (private!) water Co's are pouring into the sea, so they can keep our bill money for their shareholders. We have e-coli breeding at, at least, one beach. 84524810_g...c92a46.jpg
