By all means, this picture looks like a guy is painting the sun. Some of you might even feel that it is a wall and he is painting it in a realistic tone. But the truth is that it is a normal unedited picture. This is just a perspective play by the photographer and the man is actually standing so close to the camera that the sun looks smaller and within his reach. He is just holding the paint brush in air and we perceive it as he has been painting it.

No, this is not some Photoshop edited image where the artist has given glow to an actual ball. It is actually the sun and no, the guy is not holding it. He is merely enacting that he is holding it (well isn't that obvious?). So this is a pretty simple illusion. All you need is a decent enough camera and a similar setting (place). Just stand in front of the sun and ask your photographer friend to guide you in a manner that the sun appears exactly between your arm and the body.

It looks like the mother and the child are throwing sun at each other and playing with it. The silhouettes appear impressive and gives a realistic touch to the illusion. This is a simple picture which does not require much efforts. The sun is set up in the backdrop. All you need is for them to enact like they are throwing or catching it. The position of sun can be anywhere above them which makes it easier to create.

We know Hercules actually lifted the earth and not the sun. But by the title, we are just implying the strength part here. Of course, this illusion have some flaws and we are telling you that so that you can create an even better illusion yourself. The hands are going inside the body of sun and only if they were a little low in height, it would have looked much more impressive. But still, the creativity is nice and we appreciate the thinking.

It looks like this guy is holding a photo frame which contains an amazing painting of the sun. The truth is however not that. This guy is just holding a hollow wooden frame. What you see inside the frame is actually the real sun that have been clouded. The background color in the frame and the sky gives it away. But that is a unique approach and highly creative. Moreover, now that you know how to do it, you can create some interesting picture of yours as well. If you do that, do not forget to send us.

Now this looks so impressive. Excellent work done by the photographer and we applause for the mind which thought of this idea. You can see that it looks like someone is holding a balloon in his hand. The thing he is holding can be a wire or a plastic molded stick. Attached to it is the sun (the real sun). The distance of the person from the camera is so close that the sun fits in the picture accurately and offers a good proportion. The placement of the stick is perfect and the background is amazing.

This is an interesting take on the illusion genre. The guy is actually holding the minute and hour hands in his own hand and the sun at the backdrop acts like the clock surface. It appears however that there is an actual clock. The placement is perfect and the photographer has done a good job here. Also, we would like to say that the idea is quite innovative. It's interesting how illusionists always come up with these unique ideas and blends them so perfectly.

This guy is using the sun as a lamp and trying to read what maybe his favorite book. Full marks for the creativity here. The tripod is kept at the perfect place and the sun is merging with it perfectly. The guy is even holding a wire adding more details to it. The idea of holding a book was really good and has made it look impressive. Who knows if it would not have looks so good without it? Yes, you will need accessories to create such an illusion but we hope you get an idea and can create something different of your own.

Now these kids are super cute as they play with the biggest star of our solar system. Yes, this illusion looks a bit immature but still, it is amazing. It appears as if they are holding the sun using their hands. However as you might already know that the sun is far away and they are not holding anything. They are just enacting it. These kind of illusions are easy to create if you have a decent enough camera and can be created by almost everyone.

Now this man is doing something that probably makes him the most powerful man on the earth. He has literally kept the sun in the mobile dustbin and now he is going to trash the sun. Well that's just how it appears to be. But hands down, it is so impressive that we must applause for the creative mind. The placement, the angle of camera and the perspective, everything is just perfect and makes it so amazing an illusion. Does this illusion stir up your creative minds to create something of your own?
