I still say its CGI. After spending all that time rendering the scene, modifying the EXIF and changing the filename are just minor in comparision to add to the realism.

If this picture is real the PowerShot G3 sure takes some lousy pictures. Or someone modified the original picture.

I don't have a single thought that it is real. I know the exif says otherwise, but nothing else leads me to believe it.

UNTIL... you look at:
http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/bmdoobiew/IMG_0413.JPG (left half of the bus looks semi-fake)
http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/bmdoobiew/IMG_0412.JPG (definitely real)
http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/bmdoobiew/IMG_0411.JPG (left half looks fake :confused: )

Must be the camera - and it's not just blurriness... but having 412 makes 410 real. You would've never convinced me with 410 alone. I don't know how you guys can compare 410 and 412 and say they're equally real. Something is wrong with the clarity. You guys have to at least see that much.

the only reason it looks fake is that it's a clean image with very little noise. It's real.

But it also looks recently repaved...

Anyway, its basically been proven real by the other pictures, I don't know why you guys would assume its fake in the first place. The picture has been resized, that can really make a picture look blurry and/or jagged if done with a quick program.

Real, but downsampled kind of the same way IE or firefox compress an images to fit.

real for sure. people already found out from the number in the photo that the biulding is real, etc. a higher resolution pic would be nice. And there's many ways you can photoshop an image to "look CG"



remember that one thread about that chinese girl that was "real or cg?" And I proved it was real since I linked to her modelling site w/ the same group of pictures.

I'll still have to go CG, because there's no doubt it has been editted in someway by a computer. This is not the original image.
