Dramatic Portraits by Anna Somewhere

Few words about the photographer:

I was a kid when my father gifted me my first camera and after that I could’t stop taking photos. Studying architecture at University in Russia , I realized how art can change the world and how many wonderful places on our planet Earth. At that moment I desisted that I want to become a professional travel photographer and share the beauty of the world with others. Most recently, I relocated to New York City. In 2019 it was finally time for me to build the website I always dreamed of having to plan my travels.

Become Better Photographer: Feeling Blue with David Bergman

Today’s tip with fabulous photographer David Bergman and AdoramaTV will be about the often overlooked ‘blue hour’.

David explains: “Have you ever taken a picture of a city at night, and it didn’t turn out exactly like you expected? It looks good through your eyes but just looks dark and uninteresting through the camera lens? The reason that pictures often don’t look right is that you’re shooting at the wrong time of day. You might think that it looks best when the sky is dark but then you have no detail in the sky and it’s a lot of wasted space in your photo.”

“Traditionally a good time to shoot is called Golden Hour, which is roughly the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset, so the direct Sun is low in the sky, but a lesser used time of day is called ‘blue hour’, this is the time before sunrise and right after sunset. This is my favorite time of day to make night-time images you may not always see it with your eye, but there’s actually still some light in the sky, when the Sun is just below the horizon. Indirectly it’s lighting it up, and it’s usually a beautiful blue color! One advantage of ‘blue hour’ over ‘golden hour’ is that the buildings lights are already on, adding that genuine nighttime look to your images.”

“You can shoot a blue hour handheld with a fast lens and a high ISO but for the best results use a tripod. Slow down your shutter and drop your ISO. Longer exposures will help to bring out colors that you can’t even see with the naked eye. The next time you want to make a photo at night, get in position a bit earlier, and use the blue hour to bring some cool color into the sky.”
