Eye on the Trail: Photos by Poyzer – Blue Hour

Brent Sass Pedals His Way into Nikolai

Insider guy Dave Poyzer has captured these unique blue hour photos.  Brent Sass, Joar Leifseth Ulsom, Peter Kaiser and Travis Beals came into Nikolai right around 0700 on Tuesday morning – before the sun climbed over the horizon at 07:52.

What is the blue hour?  When the sun is well below the horizon either before sunrise or after sunset, the light takes on a blue hue.  

This unique photo opportunity lasts perhaps only an hour, if that long.The blue hue of these Poyzer photos is distinctly different than low light conditions while the sun is above the horizon like the photo below.
