I can clearly see the Maya watermark in the upper right hand corner. :disgust:

it's definitely CG.

the trees are too perfect, the colors are too saturated, the lack of people in the pictures........also, the shadow behind the right tire of the first bus is at a 52.4 degree angle when it should, in fact, be at a 53.321 degree angle.. duh.








lol, i love these threads when geeks pretend to be crime scene investigation experts :laugh:

Everyone knows that if you render a real object extremely well, it becomes a REAL picture because the captured image really exists. :roll:

not to be an ass, but if anyone really thinks that pic is real, then you need to get your brain/eyes checked out. Its from a 360 game in the works. Anyone who wants to bet real money against me, send me an email, or better yet, just friggin paypal me, cause youll be wrong. Lighting is unrealistic, the jaggies in the background are a clear give away, please at least turn on AA 4x, come on!

Oh yeah...... it's also not hard to throw a picture onto the camera's memory stick then pull it back out with the camera's software, giving it the camera info you smarty-pants insist makes it real.

fake fake fake.... the pic looks good but it visually feels dead! the ph # is valid and I have never in my life seen such a clean road / street. Even a freshly paved road doesn't appear as that one. and i jujst read through the thread after typing this to discover it's a fake. the advertising is there though...

sorry i missed all the fun...

i thought it was real.

that and the camera lens isnt all that great.. you can see Chromatic Ab. in the white lines on the street(an other high contrast areas). not to many digital SLR owners i guess..

canon's defualt color representaions can be a little too lively.. not as bad as nikons reds.. but still..


was a funny deabte to see all the CG post though...

It's already been done, read the freaking thread.

Good advice. Now care to show where the OP stated whether the pict was real or CG?

the OP didn't post the answer, since he did not know the answer. the person who photographed the image posted (and i did as well, since i am married to him). the OP was just browsing bbzzdd.com apparently. look at the link. :|

sheesh, the collective stupidity of ATOT just keeps growing.
