There's an old saying: "Red skies in morning, Sailors take warning. Red skies at night, Sailor's delight." Today's forecast calls for dry conditions, and I suspect the atmospheric moisture allowed the red wavelengths to pass through, tinting the skies pink. Being a late riser, I seldom see the change in morning colors, so I was totally enchanted by this visual change in palette. Since I normally leave my white balance setting at "Cloudy", the photos I took had a definite tint. Not warm, as you might expect, but more of a pastel nature. These three photos were not color corrected, but the exposure was adjusted to give a more pleasing image.
The pink, shadowless lighting of dawn is less noticeable to the eye, but the camera records the colors with a high degree of accuracy. The world is truly pink at this time of the morning, but the objective recording of the digital camera shows the colors as they really are.
