Atmospheric Extinction
Due to Rayleigh scattering in our atmosphere, bluer light from our star is scattered around by the gas particles in random directions, granting us a blue sky. Red light however passes through these gasses much easier due to wavelength differences. As the sun gets low in the horizon the light has to travel through more atmospheric gas to reach the observer, most of the blue light is scattered out early on leaving only the redder light waves to reach the eye (or the cam :P), this is why sunset and sunrise have these beautiful red colours.
Science bi*ch!
