This week’s Episode: Blue Hour Hues
I enjoy getting some blue hour shots when I can; the light is softer, you don’t have to deal with harsh highlights, and you can expose for longer without even the need for filters at this stage of the day. Of course, Blue hour happens twice a day, and the best time to shoot is the sunset version because you are already there and you don’t have to get up a few hours before sunrise to capture the light. For this edit, I wanted to preserve the hues from this glorious time of day, plus I wanted to bring out the subtlety of the remaining colour in the sky. As usual, I tried to get as much done in the field to make my edit as straightforward as possible.
