I had forgot how some games can use the best of hardware today to do some stunning shots through a sprinkle of a vision for lush landscapes and lightning more than just sticking to bland realism or the often advertised RTX stuff.
I guess that it makes sense that photo modes should give you more options to adjust your colors without external editors, but to me I can see that at least most of the photos like the sunset ones and almost all of the second half with the bright sun still look quite stunning with your angles.
I've played some games that have RTX and great photo modes like CP77 and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Those games do it perfectly.
