Real without question. Although I think the shutter speed and F-stop were rather oddly set giving the setting and conditions. Nothing wrong with the road, it doesn't look anywhere perfect to me. Newly paved maybe, but looks like soft landfill the way the pavement has settled all unevenly.

Nah, I have NEVER used digital zoom. The second I buy a new camera, I turn off digital zoom, if it is even on by default.

that building looks like something completely out of PGR or Forza I swear to God. And only 4.5 of those buses look real. ;)

Something's up with the camera settings.

AEIEIYIYIIEEIEI!!!! It's not a road, it's a walking/jogging/running/biking path that parallels Route 9A / West St on the west side of Manhattan!

see the link PDF map

The photo was taken at the bottom of the path right above the 90 degree angle, southeast of the museum of jewish heritage.

Yup, I bike it every day. I love the dumb pricks who like to walk 6 people across like they own the road. One of these days I'm just going to pull some GTA on their ass and wheelie right into them.

thank you for bringing this to our attention.

my husband, bmdoobiew, doesn't do photo editing and he takes a billion pictures of subways and buses which you can see at railfanwindow.com. none of them are edited except for perhaps a resize. :confused:

i cannot believe how much controversy has stemmed from this. you guys really have nothing better to do.

p.s. we were away for the past few days.

Shouldn't this have ended the thread? :confused:

Anyway, always a pleasure to see some nice pics of NYC. :thumbsup:
