Blue Hour in Ireland's West, time for silhouettes and shadows. Landscape photography with Panoramic Ireland.
Red light passes through Earth's atmosphere and further into space, while blue light with its shorter wavelength gets trapped and scattered, and bounces around to create a blue coloured period we call the Blue Hour.
I have written about blue hour images here on panoramicireland.com before here, and here write about sunrise and sunset photography.
As seen in this image, the blue hour is approaching as the sun has set with only a small portion of the western sky alight with Golden Hour light.
Silhouettes and shadows become prominent at this time of day, needless to say the sky is an important part of a blue hour image.
