    This challenge is "Blue Hour Photography" i.e photos taken 1 hour before sunrise or photos taken 1 hour after sunset.
    This does not include sunrise and sunset shots, the sun should not be visible in the photo.
    One photo per post, but submit as many posts as you like.
    No old photos to be submitted - photos must be taken after 8 am 25/3/2014
    The next task/subject will be chosen by the person who has the most thanks after their post at the closing date.
    Challenge is from 8 am on the 25th of March until 8pm on the 8th of April.

    There is lots of info and tips on this type of photography on the net so good luck.
    Denis

    Brilliant idea denismc,

    This is just what I need, I have been threatening to get up for the blue hour for the last 6 weeks, but too much beer on Friday and Saturday nights puts that notion to bed:)


    I think I will wait until next week for the sunrise shots, the sun rises an hour later from Sunday:)

    This may sound silly, but with this challenge "Blue hour photography" can the images be in B&W?

    I don't see why not, its about capturing the light at that time day. Seems fine to me unless the mods have a problem with it.

    Taken 32 minutes after sunset:)

    Out walking the dogs this evening. Had the wrong lens (70-200), it was getting dark, the light was poor, the dogs were pulling on the leash - and I couldn't resist.

    I am just blown away by the quality of the photos on the challenge- amazing.

    Can I just make one small suggestion to denismc that the closing time for the Challenge should be in the evening- say 8pm on the 8th April.

    Gives a full weekend and a chance to vote?
