Blue Hour

Often, it's the quality of the light that makes or breaks a photograph.  Landscape photographers identify the two best 'hours' for photography - golden hour and blue hour.  

During the blue hour the sky has a deep blue hue with a cold colour temperature and saturated colours. 

In the cities, buildings are still lit and streetlights on, making it an ideal time for urban and city photography. It's also ideal for landscape photography because of the different shades of the sky and colour saturation.

In the evening, the blue hour coincides with the end of the civil twilight, just after the golden hour. In the morning, it coincides with the initial part of the civil twilight, occurring just before the golden hour.  This photograph was taken one evening, as the light started to fade.

Each photograph is Giclée printed on Canson Baryta Fine Art Paper.  This is a pure white Baryta base archival quality paper with excellent black density, contrast and reproduction of detail.  The Baryta base creates whiter whites and deeper blacks whilst the silky smooth reflective coating enhances the detail and definition of the images.  Take care when handling your prints as it is a sensitive paper.  A border has been added to the S, M & L prints to make framing easier.
