The Blue Hour



The fact that I'm awake at 4am is neither here nor there, but as the skies look clear from my window I plan a pre-dawn shoot at the beach.

The Golden Hour is well known to photographers, but the Blue Hour - less so. The blueness of the image is caused by the high colour temperature of the light (measured on the Kelvin scale), and it contrasts nicely with the warm hues of the approaching sunrise.



12-24mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor. 1/80second at f/8. Matrix metering. - ⅔ EV compensation. Lee 0.9 Grey Grad. Monopod. ISO 1000
