Photographer’s Note
Trakai Island Castle at night. The castle was built in 14th century on an island in lake Galve. It's probably the biggest castle in Lithuania.
Taken at 20:05, about 55 minutes after sunset. Brighter cloud on the right side is illuminated by the Moon behind it.
Camera settings: 41 mm zoom, ISO-400, AV mode, +0.3 EV exposure compensation, mirror lockup and 2 sec self timer to reduce camera shake.
Converted from Raw with color temperature set to 3100K.
Previously I have uploaded another photo taken from exactly the same spot 6 minutes later.

Hi Linas,
The darker it gets, the better the photo's of this castle seem to get.
I am wondering what caused the curved reflections as they are straight on the later photo's?
Very well exposed blue hour photo.
Have a nice weekend.

Hello Linas,
A few years ago I visited Trakai and the castle but only at daytime. Now I know I should have stayed for the evening also.
It's absolutely beautiful illuminated and with vivid colours contrasting with the blue sky and lake.
Best regards, Paul
