Blue hour is a special time for photographers. While the human eye can not detect it easily, a long exposure will build up the deep blue sky color. I like to put lighted buildings or areas with blue hour as I like the yellow lights against the blue. Such was a night in Epcot’s Morocco pavilion with the Koutoubia Minaret, prayer tower, in golden light against the twilight sky. Hope you enjoyed my Disney Pic of the Week on World Showcase at Night.

  1. In the immortal words of Gary Moore “Hey, hey, the blues is alright!” It doesn’t matter if you’re slinging a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe with a Marshal stack or a Nikon D700 with a Nikkor 28-300VR.

    Scott replies: Thanks, Scott! We’ll have to blue some blues together next time I am visiting WDW. 🙂
