      I think it’s because to get a shot like this, you need both to have a very fast shutter speed and also probably have a neutral density filter to get the details in the flames and not blow out the highlights. So either a shallow depth of field with a tight focus or very high ISO and they put it though a denoising filter. All of these things combined can make a photo look a bit odd

      It’s because of how bright the fire is.
      Fire that bright, you wouldn’t be able to actually see any detail. It would be blinding.

      This launch was in broad daylight. The rocket looks like it’s in the dark next to how bright the fire is. But that’s full sun hitting the side of the rocket.
