Blue hour in cities

Blue hour times for places photographers actually go. Each page uses the same calculator, prefilled for that city.

  • Blue hour in Budapest Parliament, the Chain Bridge and the river — this is the city the calculator was built around.
  • Blue hour in Istanbul Mosques, the water, and a city that is already lit when the sky turns.
  • Blue hour in London Thames light, wet pavement, and a sky that goes blue even when the day was grey.
  • Blue hour in New York Manhattan from the water, and streets that are already as bright as the sky.
  • Blue hour in Paris The Seine, the bridges, and stone that takes the blue without fuss.
  • Blue hour in Prague Charles Bridge, the castle ridge, and streetlamps that were made for this colour.
  • Blue hour in Reykjavik A capital where summer barely gets dark and winter blue hour is a brief, useful band.
  • Blue hour in San Francisco The Gate, the Bay, and fog that can help or erase the sky.
  • Blue hour in Tokyo Towers, river, and neon that already matches a deep sky.
  • Blue hour in Venice Water, stone, and almost no cars — a tripod city if there ever was one.
