Morning blue hour - a bit cold, but so beautiful! ;-)

This is a "manual HDR", the blending of two shots taken at different exposure times using PS layers.

Andalusian blue hour

nobody@flickr.com (Michel Couprie) — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:56:00 -0700

Michel Couprie posted a photo:

I shot this one in portrait format in order to preserve the vertical lines, and cropped it to a square format to suppress the less interesting part. Tripoded of course, but suprisingly I used only one exposure time (no HDR) as the balance between the sky and the lamps was good at this hour. Minor corrections under Lightroom.

I shot this one in the ancient Royal Tobacco Factory in Sevilla, Spain. This place is very famous because the title character of Bizet's opera Carmen is a cigarrera at the Royal Tobacco Factory.

Blue hour in Sevilla

nobody@flickr.com (Michel Couprie) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 05:15:01 -0700

Michel Couprie posted a photo:

There was a really magical feeling in this beautiful place at this precise hour... Shortly after this moment, heavy projectors were turned on and spoiled the equilibrium between natural and artificial lightings.
I took several shots at different exposures, and this image combines only two of them - one for the sky and one for the rest - schematically. I did the blending manually using PS layers.
