Purple Skies Dramatic Calverton Sunset

Often overlooked by photographers, the magenta filter was originally designed for indoor shooting—but its true magic reveals itself outdoors. When used during the blue or golden hour, it transforms ordinary sunset scenes into bold, surreal displays of color.

Shot in Calverton, this image is a striking example of how a magenta filter can add a dramatic twist to natural light—enhancing warmth, deepening contrast, and creating a mood that’s both nostalgic and otherworldly.
