Pre Sunrise Panorama | Blue Hour at the Reservoir

Blue Hour at the Reservoir
^{Pre Sunrise Photography}

I'm working today and take advantage of this more or less easy day to edit my photos for the next #AlphabetHunt when we hunt the letter "S".

And because I have posted so many macro photos lately I thought it's time for some landscapes again. So, I have edited yesterday's sunrise photos also today and share a few them in this post.

I love this time before the sun rises or sets more than the actual sunrise or sunset.

When I arrived at the reservoir it was completely foggy and still very dark. But during the walk to my preferred sunrise spot the fog almost disappeared and the horizon caught some color from the soon rising sun. There were no clouds, so the whole scenery was more subtle and smooth.
But there haven't always to be exploding colors for a beautiful sunrise in my eyes.

I haven't taken the photos for this Panorama with the intention to make a Pano, but when I opened the two images taken with the EF 70-200mm lens I thought they'd make a nice Pano.

Good-Morning, Day
Good morning, Day,
Whether cloud or sun,
The world's begun
Again for work and play.

If I do my best,
God will tend the rest—
Working, loving, sharing all,
Making you, Day, beautiful.

Good morning, Day,
The world's begun
For every one
For love and work and play!

The time before sunrise or before sunset, when the sun is still or already below the horizon, is called "Blue Hour". At this time the sky is more blue and the light is very soft.
