Magic of blue hour
Blue hour is the period of twilight during dawn each morning and dusk each evening when the sun is a significant distance below the horizon and the residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue hue. This effect is caused by the relative diffusibility of short blue wavelengths of light versus the longer red wavelengths. During the blue "hour" (typically the period is about 40 minutes in length), red light passes straight into space while blue light is scattered in the atmosphere and therefore reaches the earth's surface. Because of the quality of the light, this period is treasured by artists.
Yes. I'm not actually that smart to write such nice lengthy sentences, explaining visual occurrences happening in nature on our little blue planet. Therefore I'm using whats already written on wiki page to explain for those who don't yet know what blue hour is. If you like night/long exposure photography this is the time you want to have your tripod and camera ready.
Idea for this was to catch light left by passing trains during previously mentioned blue hour.
Urban Legends
Few shots from my urban explorations taken last week or so at random locations around Manchester.
London Christmas Lights
On Sunday 15 November, the inauguration of Timeless Elegance, new Christmas Lights design by ATC Lighting Design was organized at the iconic street of the British capital, Regent Street. The Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Dodd, played a musical piece by Pierre Mussche from Musicom, composed specially for the occasion. Grand opening was followed by a party held at Lights of Soho gallery. Clearly, this event was all about the lights!Read more
Photos of foggy autumn night in Manchester
Fog. Atmospheric phenomenon of visible mass of water droplets or ice crystals suspended near the surface of the ground. Drivers hates it, pilots despised it and children's are spooked by it. However, photographers loves it. And so do I. Therefore last evening when heavy fog descended upon city of Manchester and brought feeling of mystery to every street or alley around me I didn't hesitate a moment and went out shooting. Even tough wandering around alone in night like it might feel little spooky sometimes but it always brings me plenty of joy. Especially when I end up with least one photograph that I really like. Last night I also had few ideas how I could creatively use my speedlights . I could light up trees or other objects in order to create unique moods. I'll probably aim for Heaton Park since it's one of my favoured places and I have never done night photoshoot at this location before. Looking forward to another day to feel like mistborne again.
Blackpool Illuminations
Recently I visited Blackpool to check out its famous illuminations. I found it a bit cheesy but despite heavy wind I had good time nonetheless.
reflections and colors at Media City uk
Photos taken at media city area in Manchester. Nice place for anyone who likes photographing illuminations, architecture, bridges or water reflections as most of buildings are surrounded by water.
Werneth Low Country Park
So this is another episode from my lone cycling trip project. This time winds blow be to Hattersley train station from where I cycle my way to beautiful Werneh low country park. I was hoping for much better weather with some sun rails coming through thick clouds to lit city of Manchester and my quest was to capture it from distance with as much grace as technically possible. Plan was great, but light didn't bring me any sweet photo I was hoping for so I end up with those shots bellow;
Cloudless sky
My intend for this sunset was very different. I've planned to create some long exposure skys. When I left home weather was perfect; very windy with fast moving clouds. However when I've reached my destination everything became still and cloudless.
Better Bathrooms event
[dropcap]W [/dropcap] hen I got phone call from one of Better Bathrooms manager and was asked to photograph their Christmas Party happening at Aviation Park, I knew this was going to be something very interesting to be part of. The event happend at the venue where the concord plane still has its home.
