Blue hour in Hamburg, a photo from Hamburg, West

Photographer's Note

There is no surprise in the title of this photo. It is what it is. Last photo which I showed was taken in Hamburg and everything seemed to be lit in Golden color of the setting sun. Few moments later and more precisely half an hour after the sunset the sky turns blue again before it turns completely black. Sometimes when the sky is filled with clouds there are extra touches of pink or purple as well.
If you ask a Hamburger, I mean a person from Hamburg, or you consult a guidebook, what is the most characteristic building in Hamburg they are likely to say it is St Michael’s Church which I showed you before but if you ask any tourist they would probably say that it is the town hall (Rathaus) which is the richest, very unique, most characteristic and certainly most photogenic building and tower in town. I have showed here already few photos which included this town hall, here less original composition but taken at a real blue hour moment with the glowing blue sky at the back.

Hello Mariusz,
Fantastic! In honour of your visit, the town hall has hung the Polish flag above the entrance door!
Good light management. Not easy not to overexpose the statues on the second floor or parts of the roof.
This indeed looks like very rich architecture.
I wonder if you can climb the tower for views over the city.
Great blue hour shot!
Best regards, Paul

Hello Mariusz,

You did well with this Blue Hour photograph!
The artificial lights have given a special, 3D effect to the lower brickwork, whilst the the details on the roof look ghostly, and you have captured these details perfectly, against a sky which complements the whole building.
Fine, symmetrical composition!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Mariusz, the blue sky is a beautiful background for this straight on view of the town hall.
The manner in which it is illuminated perfectly shows us the architectural details.
Lovely work.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Mariusz,
We both posted a picture with a German town hall yesterday. A great symmetrical shot of the impressive town hall in Hamburg. Wonderful illuminations against the deep blue night sky. Well done.

Hello Mariusz,
A well-executed blue hour photo. I like the symmetry with which you photographed the old rathouse - oops, I mean the town hall.
Regards,
MT
