This is so interesting. Because there was definitely a sunset in the same place because of the jittery refracted lens flare you get on small lenses with image stabilisation showing a bright sun was indeed there.

But there appears to be rotoscoping on the foreground, especially visible on the edges of the snow on the roof.

But there is definitely a beautiful sunset casting orange glow on the landscape.

So it looks like they took a picture of the same sunset separately and composited it to the background to effectively increase the dynamic range.

Am I right?

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Something looked off about it and at first I thought it might be AI-generated, but your explanation makes more sense. Loops isn't fully federated yet, otherwise I'd ping @[email protected] to ask

It's kind of an interesting technique if they did indeed use a photo of the original sunset and just used it to increase dynamic range.

But I think it might have been a cloudless sunset, and they wanted moooreeeee.
