On Wednesday, Sept 9, 2020, the skies above northern California went orange from wildfire ash high in the atmosphere. The ash was suspended high above by a marine layer of air beneath it, and didn't begin reaching the ground until the next day, when the eerie orange sky was replaced by one of dull white. I took these photos on a 2.5 hour bike ride through Santa Clara and San Jose around in the early afternoon using a sunlight-balanced, natural-color slide film, with the camera automatically metering at the box speed of 100. Despite it being mid-day, it was very dark -- to achieve shutter speeds faster than 1/100, the aperture was never slower than f/4, and usually set to f/2.
