I came across this picture before I began taking the Visual Aesthetics course. I thought, 'Whoa, what a cool image, I wonder if this is even a real photo' (Its been my computer wallpaper for the past 7 months).
I now lean back and laugh at my naivete.
After becoming familiar with Photoshop in the past month, only now can I understand how the artist took the photo and employed certain Photoshop tools, such as Blur and other simple lighting effects to give the traffic and streetlamps a surreal, hyper-realistic feeling.
Kind of takes away from the mystery of the photo, but hey, it makes me feel smarter to know.
