Believe it or not both photos were taken around the same time.

I experimented with the digital settings to see the difference in the outcome. The first photo was taken with a setting designed for under water photography. I must say that the effect is stunning as it highlighted the orange glow of the setting sun.

For the second photo the camera was set to manual mode with the coloring control set to ‘vivid’. The vivid feature accentuated each color realm of the setting sun making for a beautiful picture. Ofcourse the two photos would have looked a lot better without the annoying appearance of the utility pole and wires in the foreground.

Now the question remains, which photo was taken first? Have a look.
