@luckytran it's odd that other shots from that area have a different color. wonder what's casing the differences

@pxlmo @luckytran Probably changes in reflected light wavelength due to the additional density of particulate matter in the first image. I guess the easiest way to explain it is why the horizon looks orange at sunset but not orange right where you're standing.

Focal length, distance, camera angle, sun angle, aperture width, sensor and lens differences (age, type)

Mainly: looking straight out into miles of smoke is going to look different than looking up or down through it, especially to different cameras

anecdotally, I've noticed my iphone often gets atmospheric color "wrong" - it's color-correcting the image automatically, assuming the unusual ambiance is undesirable

Rayleigh scattering, angle, distance.

You're comparing two medium shots, one angled upwards and the other downwards, with a long shot aimed at the horizon.

The reason these don't look the same is the reason you'll never find the base of a rainbow.
