Scavenger Hunt #39 – Blue Hour

The 39th Scavenger Hunt had an overarching theme, Rose, and 10 other words to associate to it. I went for a very literal interpretation of that, got myself a rose bouquet (on discount because they were starting to fade quite a bit) and managed the whole Hunt in one (long) afternoon.

This was my entry for the word “Blue Hour”. For this one, it felt quite necessary to go outside, so that’s a shot of my roses on the balcony. It did require some acrobatics to be able to shoot it in a reasonably stable way, while keeping the fence of the balcony out of the frame! I particularly like the sky on this one 🙂

And that’s the original picture. As you can see, there has been some creative crop and, as for all the pictures in this Hunt or so it seems, a vast underexposure of the original material.
