Blue hour · Tromsø

Blue hour

The short window before sunrise and after sunset when the sun is below the horizon and the sky glows an even, cool blue, ideal for cityscapes and balanced ambient light.

No evening blue hour on this date (polar day).

Balance the lights

Shoot when ambient sky brightness matches artificial lights for a natural blend.

Bring a tripod

Light is low, so long exposures keep ISO down and detail clean.

Hold the blue

Resist over-warming in post; the cool cast is the point.
