Sun or Mars? by taffy

Sun or Mars?

The sun was quite dramatic tonight as it set, before disappearing behind a thin layer of clouds. It looked the way I imagine Mars might look through a telescope.
I took this with a Tamron super-zoom (150-600mm), then cropped it a bit. Hand-held so quite satisfied that it was fairly sharp.
Amazing colours, nature is so beautiful.

This is beautiful. Sadly the sun, when I do see it, looks like this on it's own so it's hard for me to fully enjoy.

Oh my! I agree, this must be a Mars shot. It’s too good to be true.

maybe it was actually mars, we just didn't notice the change when the aliens switched them! 😊 gorgeous!

Very cool capture! You can say it's Mars. I'm okay with that. =)

September 15th, 2020  
Wow! SO the smoke is traveling that far? Gorgeous capture. I sure hope the sky wasn’t really that dark
September 16th, 2020  
Oh, i get it...you had to decrease the exposure heaps to get sun detail, hence the black sky
September 16th, 2020  
I’m horrified to see effects of west coast fires all the way there
September 16th, 2020  
@jgpittenger Exactly...the sky was a 'smokey' gray (not sure if fires or not), but if the sky were exposed to an accurate color, the sun details faded out to a solid blob of color.
September 16th, 2020  
Stunning. Fav
September 16th, 2020  
Love this close up
September 16th, 2020
