Since I was playing in the archives I came across some night shots I never published. This would be one of them from when I was in Fort Myers, Florida. Which I will be heading to in about 30 days.
This is is the magical blue hour that photographers talk about. While it may look like a product of rain or a storm the reality is that is just the clouds coming in from the Gulf of Mexico and with it the evening breeze in Fort Myers.
I liked this photo because of the cool clouds in the sky and the streak of light from a boat coming down/up (hell if I know) the Caloosahatchee River. It made for an interesting photos so I went ahead and just edited it.
Speaking of editing I didn’t mask anything in. I just hit my camera defaults and then went about through and made my usual Lightroom adjustments. Into Photoshop and the usual curves adjustment. I then just went through and did some local dodging and burning for local contrast. Quick sharpen and done.
Enjoy.

Love that blue color … nice image!
Thanks. It was missed the first round of edits but happy it made it the second.
I like the photo! “The Magical Blue Light”, I did not know about but I do now. It is nice to learn new things. I like skies with their great performances each early morning and evening. The one large dark blue cloud looks like a demon is going to decent into the Caloosahatchee River. I think it is a great way to start the work week. I enjoyed!
