Putting It All Together - Creating Blue Hour Blends With Alpha Collective Member Jess Santos

Explore landscapes during the low light hours with Jess Santos of the Alpha Collective and learn how to create a dreamy blue hour blend. A blue hour blend is a technique in astrophotography in which the foreground is shot during blue hour after the sun has dipped below the horizon or before the sun has risen, and the stars are shot at night when the sky is the darkest. Jess walks us through capturing the elements needed in field and how to put them together in digital darkroom using Lightroom and Photoshop.
