Today’s featured photo of the day! The feature is: Sunsets & Sunrises – West Side of Woodward Avenue South of Prairie Lane in Woodridge, Illinois

Here is today’s featured photo presentation of sunrises and sunsets. To let 2024 REALLY shine, I am featuring fine photos of magnificent sunsets and beautiful sunrises, so we can continue to honor the brighter side of life. This photo is of a summer sunset near an unbuilt area at the west side of Woodward Avenue south of Prairie Lane in Woodridge, Illinois as shown circa 2013, as featured on Facebook.

Photo taken with a Sanyo SCP Mirro 3810 flip-phone camera through a factory lens, filter=Not Possible, Aperture=Unpublished=Factory, shutter-speed Unpublished=Factory. You can note the very low quality of the pixels.

FACT:  Digital photography through use of phones all the way from the very late 90s to earlier this decade was phenomenally super low quality, and people were spending hundreds of dollars on all sorts of phones including Nextel phones and the photos were trash. The cellular phone companies were paying for better quality telephones, walkie-talkie services and the like– and not delivering on anything at all. Web based posting services such as Flickr which was called Yahoo Photos at the time did not take photography seriously. Photos through phones finally got way better through the Razr phone and the BlackBerry phones. The phones today are almost as good as digital cameras were back then, very high quality, and Nikon cameras these days have mega-super resolution, higher than Hollywood had ten years ago.

Original photo with no equalization

Photos taken with a Alcatel Pop Astro digital camera through its factory lens– a 5 MP, filter=Not Possible, Aperture=Unpublished=Factory, shutter-speed Unpublished=Factory. Date – November – 2016.

TIP:  The photo was underexposed, and the spectrum was diminished. I rescued the photo using LunaPic with the adaptive equalize and also sharpen to render an unblurring effect better, despite some added grain. Otherwise not so great photos can be rescued, and people hire professionals doing these tasks. I have been in the photo industry for over 40 years. Don’t throw possibly great shots out, rescue them!

The photo was underexposed and so little light for the shutter speed caused a slight blur. I rescued the photo using LUNAPIC Photo Editor.

Another fine sunrise or sunset photograph to follow very soon. It is going to be quite a year in 2024, so join me to bring back to the nice spirit!
