Get Pushed 318 - The Blue Hour

Lighting up time in Folkestone, taken from the top of the South Downs.

My challenge this week came from Joan who asked me to take a picture in the blue hour. I took a lot of shots this evening and couldn't believe how easy it was to turn the lights into little jagged lines just by breathing on the tripod! Also I kept changing the exposures but couldn't get the result I wanted. So I cheated, and used Auto Enhance to change it from the black hour to the blue hour ...
@joansmor Hi Joan, my response to your challenge. This was hard! I'd tried before one evening and one pre dawn morning to complete this challenge but failed miserably. This evening the sunset took place approx 45 mins before this shot so I just squeezed into the blue hour. The exposure however was not correct so I gave it a helping hand ... aka cheating!

Editing the contrast and bringing out subjects is easy but you have to have good focus to start with! Great POV where you are!

I like the blue sky and ocean with the bright colored lights of the town.

Lovely evening scene. Not cheating just enhancing. Enhancing has been done since the first photography in the 1850s
