A very clear but freezing cold afternoon in Jersey. My fingers almost froze off during the long exposures, but I'm glad I stuck with it. This golden hour was followed by a beautiful blue hour.
“It’s always sunny in Philadelphia!”. Well, maybe not always, but few days ago was really sunny! I was on the Benjamin Franklyn Bridge looking to do something different with the cityscape that was to often shot from that same spot. The idea behind the shot is not really new, the question was can I make it my own? After I frame the shot I was shooting from golden to blue hour. I wanted to blend the exposure from the gold hour, the silhouette of the city, with the blue hour city lights. I wanted to give some life to the silhouette by blending in some more light in to it. What do you think?

There is golden hour and then there is blue hour. I declare this shot to be silver hour. It was taken about half an hour after sunset. You can see the lights in the buildings starting to appear, but you can also see a clear reflective glow on several of the buildings. It was freezing cold (about -15°C) and I believe this is the same effect as Alpenglow, when ice crystals in the air reflect sunlight. It was a beautiful sight to behold, one which couldn't entirely be caught on camera. Later I will post the blue hour as well, and you can see the difference.
Preparing for the incoming heatwave, I like to remind myself how freezing cold it was when I took this photograph on an icy January evening.

Do you like BW? I love it! Here is the shot from the small town called Ventnor back at New Jersey’s coast line. Very peaceful place if visited early October. I got there earlier trying to catch the sunset. That day I didn’t have much luck with that plan, so I decided to capture the line of the great architecture along this canal. My goal was to simplify the scene extracting just the architecture, in a sense. Minimalistic approach and BW treatment was for me the right way to showcase this peace. What do you think?
