Capturing Photos During Blue Hour (Day 26/365)

There us something beautiful during the blue hour, not sure if its its blue hue or its great change in lighting that captures the blue hue.

Tips:

Blue hour happens before sunrise and after sunset. So plan your shoot accordingly

When capturing, you should have a tripod to hold your camera steady.

Take photos immediately as blue hour turns to night time fast.

Hi again, @VincePH . Thank you for your appreciation.

You can even see some blurry shapes running on the right. Those are two children that passed by playing while I was shooting with long exposure. They left me a nice feeling of playfulness so it is what made me think of this photo as not an ordinary one.

Well, those children passing by added to the story of your photo @IrrPavlova , keep on sharing your photos too

@VincePH

:open_mouth: I agree with you.

It’s that moment when it’s dark enough that you could see the lights of the houses and buildings (and see how cozy it is!), but not so dark that you can still see the scenery and the shape of the whole building. :slight_smile:

(Photo below is something I took from last year in Yamanashi, Japan. I miss moments like these!)
