Today’s featured photo of the day! The feature is: Sunsets & Sunrises – Sunrise at Oak Creek Woods, Aurora, Illinois near Interstate 88

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. These photos of Sunrise at Oak Creek Woods in Aurora, Illinois near Interstate 88, the Ronald Reagan Tollway as shown, circa late autumn in 2013, as featured on Facebook.

Photos taken with a Sanyo SCP Mirro 3810 flip-phone camera through a factory lens, filter=Not Possible, Aperture=Unpublished=Factory, shutter-speed Unpublished=Factory.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. ☼

☼NOTE:  Notice that on the unfiltered top Facebook post and left photo on the combo photo, that the light ring from the sunrise from the altogether not-so great lens of the flip-phone lets a more pronounced and farther from the Sun light ring through. On the blue filtered shot, the light ring is obviously much closer to the sun. The spectrum of lights are all at different points. Just like an eyeglass lens shows the reds at a different standpoint than blues, these effects are known as chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration in eyeglass lenses can cause a red light to appear at various angles.

This happens because red light is refracted differently than green or blue light due to the different wavelengths.. ☼

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!
