    274 Talk & Learn Feb. 3, 2026 - Blue Hour

    Blue Hour focuses on capturing the brief, atmospheric window just before sunrise or just after sunset when the sky takes on deep blue, indigo, and violet tones. Images submitted for this theme must be clearly photographed during true blue hour, where the cool ambient light is dominant and artificial or warm light sources, if present, are used intentionally to complement the scene rather than overpower it.
    Strong attention should be paid to exposure control, colour balance, and composition, as blue hour demands technical precision to preserve subtle tonal transitions and mood. As always, the image should tell a story—whether quiet and contemplative or dynamic and urban—and not rely solely on colour alone. Thoughtful execution in camera is essential, as blue hour is fleeting and cannot be convincingly recreated after the fact.
