Blue hour there in Bar Harbor, Maine. Increased the ISO here to lessen the shutter speed (as the boats were moving some) in the low light. The warm light is from the town.

Zoomed in view of the ships docked there in the harbor.

Took the ISO higher here in the late blue hour to keep the exposure shorter and thus the boats from moving less.

Happy Monochrome Monday ... view today there at Bar Harbor with the large cruise ship anchored.

Bar Harbor at low tide. Neat light there as sunset was happening overhead.

Long exposure full frame view of the blue hour in Bar Harbor. Miss this, and hope to return there some day again.

HWW

For this capture I cloned out a couple smaller boats that were moving too much anchored out on the harbor, and also cooled the white balance a little to not have the town lighting that was shining on the boats there be too warm.

Bar Harbor as evening gives slowly way to night.

Increased the ISO here to keep the shutter speed shorter as the water was not completely calm and the boats were moving about.

Late day light over Bar Harbor's harbor :)

Here is a capture taken in Bar Harbor Maine earlier in the blue hour where I was able to try opening the aperture wide on the 24mm, go to ISO 250 and keep the exposure to around 8 seconds. With the slight chop in the water, this is about the total time to keep the shutter open and not have the boats docked there from moving.

Also, the White Balance here is around 5000K ... allowing for a nice balance I think between the blue hour sky and the warmer light from the town area lighting up the pier and boats.

Late evening there in Maine.

Blue hour there in Bar Harbor, Maine.

For this blue hour capture, increased the ISO to 800 to keep the shutter shorter so that the boats did not move much.

Neat clouds dominated the sky in the afternoon at Bar Harbor, Maine.

... in Bar Harbor. Well maybe not the other 'Half' ... but the well to do :))

Took the long exposure about as far as I could with the boats not moving too much out there. They looked pretty in the twilight all lit up out on the water.

Extended the zoom to 105mm to get a closer view of this little boat out on the harbor. Knew I did not want too long of an exposure as the boat was anchored, but still moving a little in the slight breeze. Went to ISO 800 and 5 seconds, which seemed to be a good balance.

Happy Mobile Bench Monday :))

The person there on the pier looking at her phone was my eldest daughter during our photographic tour of Maine this past early Fall. I yelled to her that the view was pretty cool from down below ... she told me to be slow and fall ;)
