Florence Blue Hour

[LeeIs]

This shot was taken in Florence, Italy at blue hour. It's a photo stitch of two shots. I'm so addicted to this blue hour photography. I can't be doing anything but shooting at that time of night.

Another very pleasing image from Florence from you! It's a terrifically photogenic city and I think you have done it justice. I have seen zillions of photos from Florence but I don't think I have seen this particular take on it before - that's good. It's especially good that you have some light in the sky - as you know, the problem with a lot of night shots is that the sky is too dark. You have avoided that very nicely. I suppose you could argue that, maybe, you have a little too much saturation there - but that is a matter of taste I think and overall it's a pleasing image.

Cheers

Another fantastic shot! I'm always impressed with the quality of work around here. It makes me want to go out and shoot some more!

Keep the photo's flowing Lee :thumbsup:

I think it would have been better if you had taken the shot just a little earier with More detail in the river banks and the reflecting lights not so intense.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Mike, yeah i think i'm gonna hear about the saturation on the majority of my images from this trip. My camera was set to vivid for about 80-90% of the time, The only time I had it set back to normal was when I was shooting people. Yeah, Really late night photography is a different animal. I like the blue hour, about 30 minutes after sun set when there's still some light lingering. if one opens up the shutter for a couple of seconds then that's when to get the bluest skies possible. thanks

Danic, thanks , oh there are more to come

Greg, I thought that too, about the intensity of the light. it was a give and take, if I didn't expose them as such the sky would've been darker. thank u.

Dunno, I really like the "punch" of the hard lighting and the way the yellow building on the left jumps out. Nice stitching job too!
