Columbia Gorge Magic Hour
Wy'East Mt. Hood and Hood River Bridge - Hood River, Oregon
There's nothing quite like the glow of "magic hour" on a warm summer night, especially in the stunning Columbia River Gorge. This was a particularly lovely summer evening to be out photographing the views. Sunset was long gone but the soft glowing light on Wy'East Mt. Hood and lights of the Hood River Bridge put on quite a visual show long into the evening. With the camera locked down on a solid tripod, I utilized a long exposure which smooths out the Columbia Rivers water and adds some motion throughout the image. Look closely to spot a few elements of motion from a long shutter speed- streaking car lights on the bridge and on the interstate (left side). Lights of a boat passing under the bridge (right side), and quite hard to spot they're there- several faint streaking lines in the sky, which are the first stars beginning to appear as daylight gives way to the dark of night.
