Photographs in the "Blue Hour"

[dolina]

Per Wikipedia: "The blue hour is the period of twilight... where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light". You guys all know that, but in some ways to me it is even more special than the golden hour. Well here a shot I was determined to get in the "blue hour". I would love to see other "Blue Hour" photographs...

Not the best photo I've ever taken (COMPOSITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), but gotta learn somehow.

 

[bribrius]

looks pretty good to me minicoop. I wouldn't be too worried about it on this thread, most of the crap I just posted weren't even shot with a dslr...
I actually like your bridge. It sure doesn't beat runnahs, but it is pretty nice.

 

[minicoop1985]

Thanks, Bribrius. I just wish it was ONLY the bridge (the lines can stay even), not the land on the right, but cropping it gives it a weird feel that i didn't like. What I SHOULD have done was GET IT RIGHT in the camera, but hey. There's thousands more photos to take, and this is a learning process, right? Besides, this was earlier in it.
