Weird color sky in my world (Western Mass)

[FormerlySaleenl]

Sounds like it's better up north than a little bit south. Yesterday evening, we crossed the bridge over the Connecticut River in Springfield and it was so smoky that some of the buildings were obscured - and Springfield is NOT big. We couldn't see far down the river to the south and all the hills and mountains were obscured to the north. We could taste and smell the smoke, too.

Tried to take photos but my iPhone 13 Pro just made them look really weird. Any hints to take better photos tonight? It's supposed to be just as bad again.
