Now a days with DSLR technoogy many people got interested in self photography. But some people tried to add extra dimension to this and looked for r normal sways to creat a photograph which is impossible in our normal sense. To do such type of work, the main thing is to think out of the box, creating a idea and then research on that to make it possible. Here i am sharing with you my favorite 10 impossible photography
In this digital age, capturing a moment in vivid details is no longer that impossible. But because we are humans and we can still appreciate beauty, we still admire a beautifully taken photograph. But wait until you see what these hyperrealistic painters can do. Not only can they copy every detail of a photograph skillfully, they can also trick your eye into believing that what you’re seeing is real. Look and be amazed:
1. Roberto Bernardi
Look at that painting! If I came across that during a random Google image search, I would never think that it is an oil painting on canvas. From the depth of field to how the light hits the basket, this screams “digital photo” to my brain. Alas, my brain is fooled. But I guess that’s okay since Roberto Bernardi is skilled enough and is the right painter to mess with my brain. He studied Renaissance painting while still a student and actually worked in Rome as a restorer in the early ’90s.
2. Denis Peterson
This looks like photo from a National Geographic magazine, does it? But you know it’s not. This is called Don’t Shed No Tears. This acrylic on canvas is just one of the many hyperrealistic paintings that Denis has done. He is so good that his works have been displayed in many high-end museums. His more recent works show New York urbanscapes with giant billboards. You would think that the billboards are the paintings but the buildings, buses, and people are part of the whole canvas, too.
3. Jason de Graaf
The thing that you will notice right away with Jason’s paintings is the way he captures water. From the movement to the beauty of a single drop, your mind would refuse to accept that you’re seeing a painting. Assuming that this is a photograph, you’d admire the person who took it because of his or her perfect timing and fast shutter speed. But when you realize it’s a painting, your mind is officially blown.
4. Gregory Thielker
Gregory is another hyperrealist known for his work with water-related subjects. Not only are his painting hyperreal, they are cinematographic as well. This painting, for instance, will transport you to a movie scene where the character waits patiently inside a vehicle. Any minute now, that rain-drenched window will slide down and another character will be introduced to the scene. This is oil on linen and called “Until Now.”
5. Luigi Benedicenti
This painting puts to shame the work of the best food photographers out there. In fact, all food paintings of this Italian master look incredibly real and delicious. I’d hazard to say that they look even more mouth-watering than an actual scoop of ice cream or slice of fruit in front of you. One look and your senses are assaulted with all great things that you relate with luxurious treats — from the aroma to the way they melt to the texture to the way they taste in your mouth.
6. Jacques Bodin
This French hyperrealist has shown his beautiful works in Milan and Paris. His close-up paintings of women can rival the most detailed editorials of magazines. But it’s his paintings of grass that really take on a hyperreal element. This painting, for instance, can easily be a photograph of a grassy knoll near the beach.
7. Pedro Campos
“How could this be anything but a photograph?” you ask yourself. Well, it’s not. It’s an oil on canvas that measures around sixty by sixty inches. This is not the most impressive of this hyperrealist’s works. He also has fantastic paintings of fruits, soda cans, marbles, and other objects that will make you go “Whoa!” The thing that you must notice is the way he paints plastic bags; they look so real you can almost hear them crinkle.
8. Claudio Bravo
Hailing from Chile, this hyperrealist now lives in Tangier, Moroco. If that brilliant painting is not enough to impress you, Claudio has been commissioned by very powerful people to do their portraits. Examples are the former president and first lady of the Philippines, Ferdinand and Imelda Marco and the dictator of Spain, Franco.
9. Alyssa Monks
This talented lady’s works can be primarily categorized as photo realism but she has some paintings that can be called nothing but hyperreal. Her series of bathing portraits, for example, include genuinely exceptional hyperrealist pieces. This is not really surprising since Alyssa is one of the celebrated painters of our time. Her works have been displayed in top galleries all over the world. She has also been awarded the Elizabeth Greensheilds Foundation Grant for Painting thrice.
10. Simon Hennessey
Doing portraits primarily, Simon is one of the most popular hyperrealists today. He has painted celebrities and has has shows all over the UK. If you ever like having your mind blown, you may visit his work at the Plus One gallery in London. And perhaps, if you have money to burn, you can ask him to do a portrait of you.

One thing you won't lack for in Vienna is a place to go and drink coffee. You'll often find there is one opposite your hotel, which is very handy when you wake up late, miss breakfast, and need something to wake you up in the morning. Not that we've done this on a very regular basis. Much...
There is something about Vienna's wide variety of coffeehouses that is very comforting. We suspect they used to having to cater to hungover tourists and locals, so the staff generally speak softly and give you what you want with the minimum of fuss—in our case normally something greasy such as fried sausages and a large pot of coffee.
Whether you go to Café Sacher, one of the most luxurious cafés in Vienna, or one of the many small coffeehouses surrounding it, you can find the perfect atmosphere for you. You see, the Viennese coffeehouse is more than simply a place to enjoy coffee; it's an institution. Writers such as Karl Kraus and Elias Canetti, artists such as Gustav Klimt, and other creative geniuses all sat down in various coffeehouses to relax and discuss ideas. Whether you go to the Café Hawelka or the Café Museum, you are sitting in a piece of history.
If you fancy something a bit different, however, you might want to try Haas & Haas, which offers a variety of breakfasts from around the world. You can sit down and order a full English breakfast while your partner has dim sum, the Chinese breakfast, served in a bamboo steamer. Café Sperl is famous for its soft boiled eggs and ham, and Café Drechsler, our personal favorite, offers great sausages and goulash—a perfect hangover cure.
When you have a coffeehouse just over the road from your hotel, though, you will find that it's the perfect place to have a midmorning snack and just generally relax. That's what makes Vienna's coffeehouse culture absolutely fantastic—they are relaxing, charming, and elegant. And the coffee is great, too!
If you are a massive music fan, there are a lot of options for you in Vienna. Whether you like classical music, jazz, rock, metal, or pop, you are sure to find a venue that will cater to you, and they’re all within easy reach from your hotel or zimmer.
Classical music, of course, has a major influence in Vienna. The Vienna State Opera offers performances 300 days of the year on a wide variety of themes, albeit based on opera or ballets. In addition, the Vienna Musikverein and the Vienna Konzerthaus both offer a wide range of classical music, including concerts, musicals, and recitals.
If you prefer something a little more modern, there are a wide variety of clubs and other venues within the city. One of the biggest venues is the U4 club, which has seen the likes of Prince, Nirvana, and Grace Jones. If you're feeling brave, you can check out the Jenseits Café & Dance. This former brothel generally focuses on funk and soul with a little bit of jazz thrown in. If you're in the mood for a wide variety of music, the Prater Dome offer something for everyone. Vienna's largest disco offers a wide range of music, from dance, trance, and garage to R&B, salsa, and Latino – all in the same venue.
No city would be complete without its jazz clubs. One of the best clubs to visit is Jazzland, which is Vienna's oldest jazz club. Hidden underneath a church, this club has managed to attract numerous famous jazz musicians, from Big Joe Williams to Ray Brown. The food is pretty decent too. Another place to visit would be Porgy and Bess. This unique club has musicians from around the world visiting it, including some more unusual ensembles. A recent concert featured jazz musicians from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. If you just fancy a very nice dinner with some jazz in the background, go to the Albertina Passage, which is based in the Vienna State Opera.
If you fancy doing a bit of dancing, you can practice your samba or salsa in Vienna's Latino clubs. Floridita is a great place to experience the delights of Cuba, and El Dorado's cozy atmosphere is a perfect place to learn a little bit about Latin America's dances.
Finding these clubs is generally easy, but be sure to check out what is open by asking around. Some of the smaller clubs are well worth a visit, so ask your friendly Austrian hotel staff for details.

Before coming to Europe, I had no idea about street arts. I only saw few of such things in magazines or in movies. After coming here, i got amazed by the art quality and the creativity behind such great form of arts.
Specially i loved the ones in trains in Portugal, in the train tunnels of France. Though i don,t know it the graffiti and the street arts are different or the same. The main think is i loved the format. This is a way, where art can become a weapon against all that is evil in our society today. I call this artists the baul of modern times. I heard about streets arts in Latin america is one of the best. I would love to go there in my life to see those by myself.
I appreciate these artists a lot for the work they had been doing for years.
