Blue Hour Photography: Why I'm Done Packing Up at Sunset

Blue Hour Photography: Why I'm Done Packing Up at Sunset

My Sunday photo walks used to follow the same script every week. Arrive before sunrise or stay through sunset, chase the color, pack up the second the sky went gray. I treated everything after golden hour like dead time, like the light had clocked out and there was nothing left worth shooting. I was wrong, and it took watching someone else deliberately stay out past sunset to finally shake that habit.
