OK these two shots were taken about a minute apart. I can't remember there being a change in sunlight or weather conditions. Why would there be so much difference in the colour? And PLEASE don't say its the crappy sensor in my camera !!!

EXIF data provided as well.

Focal length is equivalent to 28mm for 35mm film I think.

What was the White Balance setting? If set in "Auto", then it could come from a cloud covering the sun when metering and then the sun being exposed during the shutter release.

Offhand, I'd say the metering focal point is obviously near the center where the figures are located in the first pic. The simple addition of the different colors (especially the red) gave you a more natural color balance. In the second pic, without the figures, the metering point appears to be the sunlit clearing in the distance. I could see this throwing the color balance off what with everything in the shot being green.

Not sure what the white balance setting was Railroader. I was probably using Auto mode on the camera if that means anything.

TBH I'm shocked that there can be such a difference.
