also note cheap camera cell phones dont filter out infrared light the human eye does and newer cameras do but the older or cheaper ones dont

also remember infra red is the same wavelength that nasa's WISE telescope
www.nasa.gov... is and which
nasa themselves said is the only thing that could see cold bodies planets or bwon dwarfs

In November 2010, the scientific journal Icarus published a paper by astrophysicists John Matese and Daniel Whitmire, who proposed the existence of a
binary companion to our sun, larger than Jupiter, in the long-hypothesized "Oort cloud" -- a faraway repository of small icy bodies at the edge of our
solar system. The researchers use the name "Tyche" for the hypothetical planet. Their paper argues that evidence for the planet would have been
recorded by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
perhaps when the op played with his camera settings he found a setting which allows some of the infra red through after all "The IR light from
700-1000nm that goes to each of these RGB sensors gets translated electronically from IR to a red or green or blue value"

also if it is infrared then it would not reflect in the water imo which explains that lack of reflection
i think the op should grab his camera turn that feature back on and go take a bunch more photo's of more sunsets (time of day, maybe try sunrise to?)
he should also tell us what kinda camera phone is it? how old is it? etc
