This happened one day in the window well outside my office. I got banned from r/pics for posting it.

I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.

Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

    not sure why people would call it AI when it looks much more like the title screen of a game, lol

      because its not just a quick photo taken by a phone as implied by the original poster. the image is heavily edited like an AI image may appear to be.

        Idk about you but my phone automatically processes photos a split second after I take them. Not unlike how this one looks.

          there is a lighting curve and vignette filter over this. it’s not just stock camera photo processing, which yes, pretty much all phone cameras do now.

          the original image probably “popped” less. it’s not a horribly edited photo either, but it is heavily manipulated which is why people thought it was AI.

        It is exactly a quick photo taken with my phone. It is also not heavily edited. I don’t know what you people think heavy editing is, but this ain’t it.
