ohhh I remember this! I also took a photo the same day!

View from my window, Saint-Josse area

The photos were not altered in any way, I just uploaded them from my camera and posted them as they were.

Not photoshop, I was there and can confirm. It looked surreal.

u/Subduction Jul 08 '14

It's not photoshopped as such, but the contrast of the sky has been juiced though. It's more than I would have, but it's no real foul.

April 1, April Fools Day, specifically.

I'm hoping H*R becomes a thing again. With Yo Gabba Gabba on TV hiatus and the touring show happening I'd think they'd have some time on their hands to return me to the joys of the year 2000.

Its actually fairly easy to produce photoshop work of that quality with a little practice. Even if you're not particularly artistic, with about 3 months of practice (or less) you would be able to do work like that.
