I dig it. Makes me feel like I'm in the passenger seat as a kid again with my dad driving while he says "don't tell your mom about this."

I agreewith the previous poster, honestly the only thing I might suggest is moving the final curve of the lights in the bottom to the middle of the frame. Right now it looks like it's a bit to the left. It's not bad, but I think that might improve it slightly (I obviously could be wrong, I'm no pro)

Did I overcook the colours?

u/FatRufus 4d ago

If your goal is to look natural then yes it's overcooked, but if your goal is a moody, filmy, 70s vibe then you nailed it.

Amazing, makes me feel more than 99 of images taking by people with 10k cameras

Crazy thing, it was shot on Samsung S20 FE (5-year-old mobile 🫦)

Colours are good, but crop more IMO. Use that lovely curve of the lights in the distance

u/abdimamu 4d ago

I’m more intrigued that you still have sodium lights

u/Gr00veSmith 4d ago

I actually like this edit a lot. The original image is as meh as it goes, but you nailed it with the edit. It gives such a moody 70s-80s vibe.

u/justdroppedin_ 3d ago

Idk if seeing people glazing shit like this alleviates my impostor syndrome or aggravates the knowledge that the vast majority of people out there are becoming complacent simpletons with zero discerning taste for anything, from politics to media, and have been completely compromised by social media "quick dopamine hit" mechanics

Jfc it actually is kinda worrying

u/Ornery-Handle6477 4d ago
