The photos in the article are not enhanced for dramatic effect. This is really how it looks like in person.

Hopefully this will finally hit some people hard and we'll reverse the decades of urban sprawl and environmental mismanagement. In all likelihood, it will be forgotten as soon as the blue sky returns.

My phone camera can't really even capture the effect. The color correction algorithm doesn't think the sky can be this color.

I've been capturing pictures through the window that are half indoors, half outdoors. This makes the color correction algorithm stop trying to get rid of the orange.

Yeah, I managed to finally get a good one by including some artificial white lights in the frame.

If you use a camera app like Halide, then you can manually turn off the Automatica white balance correction that assumes that this scene lighting is impossible.

The thing that struck me about it in person is just how dark it is right now. It is just past noon and it looks like evening.

Even with an SLR it didn't work right on full auto. I had to manually override the white balance to get it to look right.

Yeah, my Pixel works hard to correct my photos to look Earth like :)

>environmental mismanagement

As I understand it, half of California is federal land, so it will take two to tango.

Yes, but the limits on controlled burns is entirely NIMBY.
