Looks fake.

LOL, I came to post that meme but it’s already here.

I take this as a compliment, as I tried to imitate a miniature model town. The village is photographed with a tele lens from a mountain. Then with very tedious post processing several layers of blur was added to amplify the tilt shift effect.
Since people are commenting this image is „fake“ or „ai“, here is the same scene shot from a similar location with a cheap smartphone:
Switzerland?
Austria ;)
This is the home of my heart.
shader link?
Always point the camera into the sun
We don’t need redditesque sass here.
where is it? the alps?
Yes in austria
Is this tilt shifted? It makes it look fake
Why is the car parked in the field inside the fence and not in the adjacent road
If you look at the relative size of the road to the car, it’s not big enough for a car to park on the side and not obstruct traffic. If you’re talking about the paved bit to the right of the car that appears to be someone else’s driveway
Looks like a miniature model town. Or just AI. When you zoom in, there are several roofs that are solid, no detail. And the trees look fake too. The leaves and fronds or whatever have no fine detail. And when you look at the houses farther back – where are the access roads?
It is actually a real village. The blur was added in post processing to imitate the tilt shift effect.
You say it was a telephoto lens, but it looks way too good for shooting directly into the sun. The colors would be way more muted and that level of contrast can’t be brought back in post. Also if you were shooting with a telephoto lens you had to be VERY far away to get that field of view. Shooting from that far away with a telephoto lens would not look that crisp. There would be haze from shooting such a far distance.
Pretty sure the lens flare was just added in photoshop. As far as the “tele lens” goes, I think that’s just a semantics thing. I agree that shooting straight into the sun like that would make it impossible to get that exposure.
Isn’t that a village? Beautiful tho
Hm yeah …
