@Hyman Decent: One photo was someone's debit card, artfully arranged on what appeared to be a sewer grate. Looks to have been removed.
@defeatism: Although - and this is the last time I'm going to post consecutively like a nerd - if this was your photo, then the key info most definitely wasn't blurred out. At least 12 of the 16 numbers were clear, if I recall.
@dakotad555: Probably photoshop enhanced, a bit. But that sort of lighting is usually seen in the early morning (say, 5:30am) on a cloudy day.
@Matt Redacted: Hell yes! I loved that thing.
@shockwaver: I agree, also that light in the back is from the gas station. That is a wonderful photo BTW.
@defeatism: First thing I thought when I went to see the controversy in my newsreader was "Oh, they mean this credit card? On a Melting? Perhaps it's not active." Anyway, nice shot.
@Michael Belisle: Note to readers: Please mentally insert "barbecue?" between "On a" and "Melting?" Thanks.
dakotad555: That chevron truck photo looks like a photo shop job... sky and foreground are much too dark for the light just behind it. A cool effect though...
Could be a long exposure.
All of the bright areas look like they're near light sources.
/never attribute to photoshop what can be explained by regular photography.
As lordargent said, it could be long exposure. As night falls, the sky darkens and street lights can keep the truck lit, meaning you can get a number of sky/foreground dark/light mixes depending on what time of evening you take the photo. Ideally you take a photo when the brightness of the sky matches that of the foreground so you don't blow out the sky and you still keep details in your subject.













umm visible credit card details anyone? -_-
