Well into Blue Hour... Taken at 9:58. Note that the blue comes out even when cloudy! This image was taken from a Fred Gingell Park... he gave his property as a park so all Tsawwassenites could enjoy sunsets. You see the Vancouver Islands' shoreline in the distance to the left and the lighted Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. ISO 100 F7.1 4" As the evening Blue Hour progresses, a longer exposure is required! :o)... unless of course you have a lot of lights in the bg. They sure do affect the camera's sensors!

Absolutely perfect in every way!! Not only the blooness but the lights of the homes, docks and boats. And the tree on the right side is the perfect point to draw one into the scene. This is just outstanding. Verena

Sorry Verena...
No homes in the photo... and no such thing as perfection! That second group of lights is a shipping terminal that I did not mention... :o) by the way... notice the ferry, off to the left, conveniently reversing direction to help me have a clearer shot of it.
I have had two evenings of no rain... two evenings of Blue Hour shooting! The first night I even tried some shots, with a near clear blue sky, from within our home but the telephone wires detracted too much so I scrapped them. I should be getting some others (from different locations) if I feel like going out... it is so comfy to stay home in the evenings! :o) This contest has forced me to learn a few things about my camera! :o)

Frank... it is very close to True blue... 21:58 is only about 9 minutes short of dead center Blue Hour for my location! :o)

I have a link to a website that gives you the Blue Hour times for wherever you are or want to be in the Discussion area for this contest.

Milka and Joy... I am supposed to go out again tonight, in 1¼ hours. And hopefully others from Caedes will be doing likewise during their Blue Hour. And there are 8 more nights (16 Blue Hours) to go! :o)

Edit: Went out... didn't like the bland sky... was tired... came home and gone to bed immediately after clicking! And it's raining today! :o)
