Sunday Serenity

A moment of blue hour serenity from the recent workshop that I attended. Showcasing the A.M. Foster Covered Bridge, an intriguing structure built in 1998.

As I’ve worked through a number of the images captured during the awesome workshop from just over a week ago, there is still a bit more to share. Looking at this image, I find it captures a moment of serenity during what is also an intense learning experience.

Here’s a look at this blue hour capture…

Bridge and Blue

The A.M. Foster Covered Bridge is a bit of an anomaly, as it doesn’t connect any roads across a river. Rather, the owner just loved covered bridges, so he had one designed and built in 1998. Nevertheless, it is a great photography subject and appears in many images.

Enjoy your relaxing Sunday!

Monday’s Spectrum Exploration

Our spectrum focuses on the blue hour, the time before sunrise or after sunset when the sky appears blue due to sunlight scattering.

After a bit of a hiatus, we’ll take a slight detour from the infrared part of the light spectrum and visit the blue hour. Using this part of the time before sunrise or after sunset, during which the sun’s longer, reddish wavelengths are scattered to provide a blue tint to our sky. During the workshop, Loren Fisher guided us to great locations and did all the hard work of suggesting our camera settings and painting the location with just the right amount of light.

Here’s one of my captures…

Even though the shot was all about the blue hour, I like the look of this image in black and white. It lends the location a sense of mystery.

To reduce some of the mystery, here’s the color version…

I’m curious which version you favor.
