Random Flickr photos from the group Blue Hour Group

I spent the weekend in Dresden - a beautiful city only a short train ride from Berlin. The entire city was destroyed by bombing during WWII and rebuilding was slow due to a lack of money and will before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1990 rebuilding has picked up however, and now a lot of what was once rubble is once again standing. The view from the northern side of the Elbe River is particularly stunning, especially during blue hour. This was shot with a Hoya NDX400 filter (9 stops) and an exposure time of 2m34s.Monaco.Image taken during the golden hour although there was a lot of haze so not a lot of sunshine. Some interesting shots though.All images © 2016 Julien FROMENTIN. No reproduction without permission. Follow Me On : Website / Facebook / Instagram / 500pxSunset @ Punggol Beach Jul 2016Budapest.
