The story behind the image
Ah, the beauty of the Blue Hour! This period after sunset – but before night – is almost always good for exciting shots.
My photo shows the old townhouse of Leipzig, Germany, at the central market. It had been a beautiful and warm day, and the evening sky was clear and blue, and the old townhouse with its illumination was a perfect match for this sky. My phone did a good job capturing the scene, despite the relatively low light, so I just corrected the perspective in Photoshop to make it even more impressive.
Lovely.
