Red Sun Setting (Digitally Modified Photo)


Red Sun Setting (Digitally Modified Photo)

Yesterday I posted a photo of the sunset, taken from Obear Park here in Beverly, MA. I like the photograph, but was frustrated because my camera was unable to capture the bright red sun because the light was too strong. So today, I opened the image in Painter and used some color overlay and digital airbrush to restore the red color of the sun. (I took the color directly from the red that showed up in the photo around the edges of the sun.) This is the way the sun actually looked that night. So here is the question: is this image more or less true than the photo that came out of the camera?
