Sun photo taken 12.31.24 just after sunrise. Samsung S23+ with the zoom maxed and the built in b&w filter applied. Wondering if the rippling effect is a processing artifact or actual.
Astronomical seeing, and heat. Warm air rises in currents and slowly becomes turbulent. This causes blurring.
Artifact

it's an artifact.
were you shooting through a chain link fence or plants or anything like that?
No, it was an unobstructed view from a 5th floor open air balcony.
