The Blue Hour.
24th October 2018
After the sun has finally set and all the after glow has disappeared there is a phenomenon called the 'The Blue Hour' and this is so called because of the lovely cold blue light that occcurs just before dusk. It can be very photogenic and when watching sunsets there are three phases - the setting sun - the after glow - and the blue hour. Many people leave after the sun has set but this is a big mistake because what comes after can be and often is worth photographing.
