The Second Response: Patient — Jessica
In theory I like to shoot at the blue hour. It makes for some really captivating photos since the ambient light is so cool that it contrasts so beautifully with the various artifical lights. And it’s moody.
I say, in theory, because I’m actually pretty busy at that time getting dinner ready, finishing up the laundry/cleaning chores for the day or driving kids back and forth between games and practices. Last night we left the game early (my husband stayed behind) and arrived home while it was still relatively light. The contrast between the twilight outside and the warm, incandescent light inside was too nice to pass up — especially when the cute little dog was waiting so patiently in the window.
Pixie looks a bit forlorn. Getting a shot of her from outside was a great idea. I can’t believe how much that blue colors everything!
