In this tutorial we’re going to create stylish and subtle image caption hover animations with CSS3 transitions and transform. No extra javascript needed.

Basic Usage:

1. Markup html structure.

<ul class="caption-style-1">

<div class="caption">
<div class="blur"></div>
<div class="caption-text">
<h1>Amazing Caption</h1>
<p>Whatever It Is - Always Awesome</p>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>

2. The CSS rules.
