Trees, street lamp, and cloudy night sky. The blurred effect comes from from the long exposure + windy conditions.

Pocket Fire in the Sky II
6/27/2026
#flagstaff #observatorymesa #pocketfire #northernarizona #SOOiPhone #photography
Smoke from the Sedona Pocket Fire obscures most of the sky and filters the sunlight creating an orange hazy glow. Looks a lot like the filter filmmakers use for scenes set on Mars. Appropriate, considering that the other name for Observatory Mesa is Mars Hill. This photo has not been edited/SOOiPhone.

Multi-layered colorful cloudscape after sunset. Along the horizon at the bottom of the frame, the sky is a pale blue, slowly darkening to lavender and indigo with fifty shades of grey and soft pink wispy clouds blending all the colors together.

White Sweetclover against an orange hazy sky. The orange cast to the light is caused by smoke from the Sedona Pocket Fire. This photo has not been edited.

Hit the tomato jackpot this week. Pretty sure one of the keys to a happy life lies in becoming and/or befriending a prolific and generous gardener. #garden #gardening #tomatoes #phonephotography #mobilephotography #SOOiPhone

Still out here workin’ on my night shoots. #nightmoves #nightshot #clouds #SOOiPhone
Winter trees lit by passing headlights against a cloudy night sky. The longer exposure creates a blurred effect that looks more like pant or blended pastels than a photograph. This image has not been edited.

The San Francisco Peaks are visible through a haze of smoke from the Sedona Pocket Fire. The smoke is also causing a warm orange dimming effect in the early morning light. This photo has not been edited.

The original #SOOiPhone shots used to filter around and find out.
Original version of the photo above, same image but darker and less dramatic/otherworldly. Original version of the first photo in this thread. Same image but darker and less dramatic/otherworldly.

I have a bad feeling about this.
Rebellions are built on hope.
I have friends everywhere.
May the Force be with you.
This is the way.
I know.

I don’t usually edit my photos or use filters when I’m taking them, but I did use the “auto-enhance” tool on the photos in this series. See replies for more edited shots. I will also add the original #SOOiPhone images which had been shot in 16:9 mode and then unmasked to include the entire 4:3 full-size image, which came out quite dark. This shot is similar to the first edited shot, with different framing. A star-filled night skyscape with orange-red clouds along the horizon that fade into white as they reflect less of the city light pollution the closer they get to the top of the frame/darkest part of the sky. The colors add a dreamy SciFi novel cover or movie poster vibe.

Mt Elden visible through a haze of smoke from the Sedona Pocket Fire. The smoke is lit up from below with the early morning sun light creating a halo effect along the ridgeline.

Spooky Season in a Dark Sky City. #spookyseason #photography #phonephotography #SOOiPhone #weirdcool #nightshot #nightsky #stars
A night sky with stars. The fall leaves on the trees are lit from below by orange-tinted Dark Sky-Certified street lights. The trees look painted because of the long exposure, but the photo has not been edited beyond whatever algorithmic secret sauce is baked into the iPhone camera app. I love playing with this effect, and it makes for some really weird and cool nighttime photos.

Release the…Kraken? …or whatever that squid/fairy/moth-lookin’ Watcher-in-the-Tree situation is called.
#montessorikid #electricblue #SOOiPhone
Backyard string lights and a shade canopy made of bamboo reeds with trees against an electric blue post-sunset sky. Behind the table, a single tree is illuminated by the string lights. One of the larger main branches has a number of spindly new-growth branches growing out in all directions resembling tentacles. I thought it looked like a monster ready to jump out of the tree.

Pocket Fire in the Sky VI

#flagstaff #buffalopark #pocketfire #northernarizona #mtelden #SOOiPhone #wildlandfire #photo
Mount Elden is partially obscured by smoke blowing in from the Pocket Fire outside Sedona (50-60 miles from Flagstaff). The smoke dims the early morning light with an orange filtering effect. The clouds floating above the polluting smoke are brightly illuminated and appear to glow. At the base of Mount Elden in the foreground, lies a meadow with a few scattered oak and pine trees. This photo has not been edited.

Northern [Arizona] Lights.
The glow in the sky here is from Flagstaff’s city lights.

Night sky with stars and treetops around the bottom of the frame. Due to the long exposure, low light, wind, and the iPhone camera app’s secret codesauce, the trees appear to have been painted rather than photographed. This photo has not been edited.

Cute Sparklesaber, Bro.
#SOOiPhone #nofilter #theforceofjuly #TheOC #sparklers
A blurred long exposure photo of two people with sparklers on The Force of July. The person on the right is on the far side of the pool and they have a green sparkler. On the opposite side of the pool, the other person has a red sparkler. Both are giving off a lot of smoke and a lot of light. The smoke is lit up by the different color sparklers, so the left half of the photo is red, and the other half is blue-green.
