The blue hour is a magical time for photography, occurring just after sunset or before sunrise, when the sky takes on a deep, rich blue color. It’s a perfect time to capture stunning cityscapes or creative shots, especially for architectural photography as the contrast between the dark sky and the street or building lights isn’t too large.

The soft, diffused light creates a calm mood, while adding elements like bokeh lighting from streetlights or car light streaks can bring energy and movement to your photos. Reflections on wet streets or water also look amazing during this time, making it ideal for experimenting with both natural and artificial light.
