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.
Too much HDR. I can see why they thought it's AI.
Still a nice shot. The composion and framing is nice.
It’s not HDR. It’s a single shot, slightly underexposed so we don’t lose the highlight detail. The rest of the work could have been done in a physical darkroom. But thank you.
I think it's just that the iPhone processing gives it a certain look that people associate with ai for possibly incorrect reasons.
