Blue hour

[Ben Egbert]

This is from about the same place as yesterdays image, but taken from further back and well before any direct light was available. I struggled with keeping it cool, like to hear if this looks like blue hour to you.

Morning light on the peaks tends to have a bit of a pinkish tint so it offsets the bluer light once the sun is visible. Nice combination here. Not sure those trees want to be seen as blue in any light

Thanks Alan, I worked at pulling back the blue in those trunks, so you think it needs more?

the sky really doesn't want to cooperate with you. glad to see you went back. i do like the blues and purples, the mountains stand out more against the blue sky.

I always like letting blue hour light be blue

Hey Ben,

I like the look of this. The trunks are just a bit blue, I wouldn't decrease that. This has a pretty perfect blue look to it. Not over the top, but it does have that slight blue cast from being the blue hour.

I like this, Ben. I always struggle with how much blue there should be in an image when the sun isn't shining on the landscape. That blue is actually the color that exists although your brain tends to compensate for it. So you are stuck with the delima of, do I leave it the way it looks or do I correct it to what I see. That is a personal choice.
