Photos taken with a Sanyo SCP Mirro 3810 flip-phone camera through a factory lens, filter=Not Possible, Aperture=Unpublished=Factory, shutter-speed Unpublished=Factory.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

Photo edited and sharpened by LunaPic Photo Editor.
☼NOTE: Notice that on the filters opt in for different results per shot. By shifting the spectrum different parts of the clouds show through. This is due to the fact that the parts of the clouds near sunset are affected. In photography, color temperature refers to the warmth or coolness of a color, which is measured in degrees Kelvin (K). Warm colors have a lower Kelvin temperature and appear more yellow, orange, or red, while cool colors have a higher Kelvin temperature and emphasize blue tones.
| The Kelvin Temperature Scale Defined | |
| Color Temperature |
Example of Frequency |
| 100,000 K | In theory Real Blue #3333ff (#0000ff not possible) |
| 40,000 K | Clear blue sky (in flight or with zero moisture) |
| 12,000 K | Clear blue sky at 1,000 feet altitude |
| 10,000 K | Clear blue sky, low moisture |
| 9,000 K | Shadow with a sunny day (north) |
| 8,000 K | Shade on east/west side |
| 7,000 K | Shade areas with no/less blue sky reflection |
| 6,500 K | Overcast sky (looking up) | RGB monitor (White point) |
| 6,000 K | Hazy, cloudy (cirrostratus veil) |
| 5,600 K | Daylight at noon (on objects) |
| 5,000 K | Daylight past noon 3 hours summer, 1-1/2 hours winter |
| 4,000 K | Moonlight / TL light [Luminescent Neon tube] |
| 3,500 K | Daylight in morning/evening | High tungsten | Quartz Light |
| 3,000 K | Light bulb | Low tungsten |
| 2,500 K | Sunset/Sunrise |
| 2,000 K | Candlelight |
| 1,800 K | Match flame |
| 1,000 K | Glowing coals |
| — | Fluorescent Lighting: Has no Temperature, only green hue |
Kelvin explains where the temperature is, but which details are obscured are more of an art. You can see by the photos taken minutes apart, having a colored filter shifted the spectrum to make the cloud cover look like they were almost taken different days. Color filters and black and white are a great customizer for taking photos and making them look different to accommodate style.. There is more info at: Colour-Temperature Relationship | academo.org.☼
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!
