pictures of the day: sep 9

Shitty Camera Challenge, Day 71:

Later evening walk today because it was really hot today (kind of a whiplash compared to the more fallish cooler temperatures last week). The Sun&Cloud camera vivid mode always looks melodramatic, but sometimes I like the effect:

Sometimes the noise is crazy ugly and harsh, and sometimes it's kind of soft, like in this picture. I haven't really figured out what triggers the ugly noise (even in ISO 100), so it's luck of the draw.

I took another picture of this view a few steps later using normal color mode, and while it looks muted and boring, on the opposite end of the spectrum to the picture above, you can see hints of the sun rays peeking out at the top of the sunset, which is what I could see and wished I could capture (I forgot I had my iPhone on me and probably could've captured them).
