Real or Rendered?

[monk3y]

Rendered.

Actually, a timed exposure would give you that smudged water effect. I still think it's rendered based on general visual cues, but there's nothing specific that makes it obvious.

the clouds would be just as smudged then...but they're not

rendered, the water gives it away IMO. The sky is certainly nice though.

so when is the op going the post the answer? Especially after not posting a larger pic. :roll:

 

[lobadobadingdong]

Rendered, excellent job too.

No camera info embeded.

The texture of the rock and the reflection in the water look extremely rendered, everything else seems fine.

Perhaps real but photoshopped? *shrug*

BWAHAHAHAHA!
It looks rendered, but parts were taken from photos, obviously.

 

[yhelothar]

give us the answer you bastage.

I'd say rendered. There's no ripples or anything in the water. But it's hard to tell because it's a low quality and size picture.

It's a pretty accurate rendition of Mono Lake if it's rendered.

I think it actually LOOKS pretty damn real. however, the actual water is way too calm for it to be real.

I voted rendered.

 

[edro]

Real! The rock-water edge line seems too rough to be rendered.

Edit: Oh, and the clouds look real. If it were rendered, they would be more smooth.

 

[edro]

doh.

NICE! except that pic is missing a big rock on the left, but that could just be because it's taken at a little different angle.

I think that pretty much confirms it's real though.

 

[Fraggable]

gotta be real after that second pic of the lake was posted. Before that I'd have said rendered.

What were you doing in my backyard taking pics anyway?

 

[DanTMWTMP]

a combination of real and rendered heh.

 

[yhelothar]

lakes could easily not have any ripples if there's no wind.

Here's an example of a calm lake. If you took a long exposure of that, it'll look just like the original picture.

:Q teh snowmens!

edit: darn you virtualgames!

 

[yhelothar]

Another shot of super calm water

drrrr.. please tell me you didn't based your vote on whether or not camera info is embedded.

If it really is an actual picture, it was taken in a low light situation where a longer exposure would be needed. This may have caused the small ripples to smooth out such as using a long exposure for a waterfall. The water becomes blurred.
