Before you rate this 1 star for not incorporating blur, here is the full story: I live near the wildfires in California and because of that, the smoke causes unique lighting conditions since the sun has to go through more layers. By "blur," I am interpreting the term as the actual blurring of the rays of the sun as they pass through a smokey atmosphere. This causes the intense red colors you see in this image. I did use a graduated tobacco ND filter so the sky is just a bit exaggerated, but the sky was unusually red, a more fiery tone than a vibrant sunset.
