It's time to prepare for another DPReview Editors' Choice photo challenge. This time, we're celebrating the 'blue hour,' a period shortly before sunrise or after sunset when the sun is below the horizon but still provides enough light to make the sky appear deep blue in photos.
For this challenge, shoot and submit one or more blue hour photos. They don't need to be taken someplace exotic, but creativity is encouraged. You can enter up to three photos in this challenge.
How it works
DPReview editors will review every photo you upload to an Editors' Challenge. We'll publish our favorites in a gallery and share your work on the DPReview homepage.
If you miss participating in this one, please look out for our next Editors' Challenge.
How to submit your photos
Submissions will open on September 29, and you have until Saturday, October 5 (GMT), to submit entries. User voting will begin after that and will help inform DPReview Editors' picks, but will not select them. They are one factor in our evaluation of submissions.
