p.1 #1 · Blue Hour Magic


I took these photos yesterday at the very end of blue hour and had barely enough light to work with, even with a fast prime lens. I kept the white balance toward blue because that is how it looked and felt when I was there.

These get me inspired to shoot more blue hour. Good to keep the tones as you saw them.

Nice work and agree that sometimes just keeping daylight balance for blue hour can convey the look and feel better. #1 for me.

I appreciate the feedback on the blue tones Dan. I too am inspired to shoot more landscapes and nature during blue hour. Typically I only usually find myself photographing blue hour for architecture or city scenes where there are warm lights to balance with the cool blue tones.

Thanks Jim, I always appreciate your keen feedback, I think #1 is my favorite too - I presented them in the order that I liked them. After digesting these a bit more, I'm really liking the one focused on the big rock in the middle - just made that one my new wallpaper image.

Appreciate that Captmatte! Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad the cool tones work in your opinion, I thought maybe I'd get negative feedback for the images being too blue.

Thank you! I’m so glad it came across that way—I was hoping to capture that surreal feeling.
