The Blue Hour

  • by

I’m loving the Night Photography class with Kent Weakley. I’ve learned so much in just the first three lessons. Our first assignment was to take a photo during the Blue Hour–that time after sunset before true darkness. Here’s a set of five photos I took the other night of the Rochester skyline with the time each photo was taken. The middle photo is the one I posted for the Blue Hour assignment.

  1. Oh Wow – never knew that. Must qualify for the world’s shortest ‘hour’ though LOL

  2. Your photos are amazing, I am hoping to show my husband the course you are doing because I know he would love it. You will have to pardon my ignorance, Rochester must be more of a city than a town (Australians only get fed on a diet of LA, NY and middle America, we miss out on seeing the rest).

  3. Stunning! These would make an amazing set of postcards – they look like something from the opening credits of a TV show.
    My Slice card? I used the Basic Elements one which came with it and I have ordered Paper Reverie. The cards are quite expensive here – £35 or about $50 each, so I’ll be saving up before I buy any more!

  4. WOW, amazing photos! I wish I could take photos like you! These are just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them!
