You know you messed up when a photographer can take what seems to be a long(ish) exposure shot of a highway.

I wonder how many cyclists it took to cause all that traffic. /s

let me work from home

[-] vrj@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Honestly I find myself trying to figure out how the photographer achieved this effect, rather than focusing on how much space cars take up in the shot. (tint the non-red highlights to blue, then oversaturate the highlights maybe? But how did they get the colors on the street lights?)

But needless to say that city would be better without a freeway cutting through it

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

It's beautiful if you don't look at it for more then 1 second

[-] AmberRose@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

Colorful and attractive.....I hope it's a real City 🌆

[-] H4rdStyl3z@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 day ago

Is this a real city? If so, which one?

[-] mondoman712@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 day ago

It's Shanghai, Yan'an Road West. You can see the front of Jing'an Temple and the adjacent mall in the distance. There's definitely some editing weirdness going on on the road in the foreground though.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago

Don't think its real. Look at the three identical blue windows on the front left house.

[-] Kuinox@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

That's called a reflection.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

A reflection. At this time of the year. In this part of the country. Localised entirely 3 floors down?

[-] Kuinox@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

It's a reflection of the far away road.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Looks straight out of Toronto QEW downtown.

[-] ECB@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

It definitely looks a lot like Toronto, but it's been a while since I was there

[-] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Looked like Toronto to me too. Very similar design to the Gardiner Expressway going through downtown Toronto between the waterfront and CN Tower.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

It’s AI generated. Weird double lane markers and every car’s headlights and bulbs in their homes being blue.

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

it doesn't look ai generated. there are no "weird" details

photoManipulated maybe?

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah you’re probably right, it may not be AI, but it’s definitely edited/manipulated. Some of the windows are repeated several times.

[-] yonder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I would guess that maybe multiple photographs have been stitched together to make the image alongside the color editing.

[-] Kuinox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

That's called a lens filter (or photoshop).
Please stop calling that something is AI generated, you obviously don't know how to tell if it is.
This image was made at least before 2020

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah I might have jumped the gun the gun by calling it AI-generated, when I was meaning to say it’s edited/manipulated. The windows repeat several times. Definitely not just a simple photo that went through some filters.

[-] Kuinox@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago

The windows repeat several times.

That's called a reflect.
A reflect of a distant light source, that's why it's extremely similar.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

You mean these are reflects? Even the interiors look the same.

[-] Kuinox@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

I was talking about the 3 blues one.

And if the image is fake, then what is it ? AI generated ?

[-] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I am guessing Shanghai China.

We don't need AI to design nightmares like this for us. We do it to ourselves.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Nah this looks pretty standard photoshopping to me. Pretty sure the colour grading is one of the standard filters in lightroom

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It’s really pretty but I’m glad I’m not down there in all that traffic!

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Can I get a picture of INXS now?

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I used my sister’s copy of “Kick” to get the monster “Gooaall!” in Monster Rancher.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Is this Los Angeles?
