For this landscape photo contest we invited you to share your best images showing the blue hour with chances to win a Polaroid Snap Touch Portable Instant and more. Your best photos taken during the time of the day before sunrise in the morning and after sunset in the evening. From nature shots to cityscapes, show us how you capture the blue hour in a creative and original way.
A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Noël Alva for his collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest: "My name is Noël Alva and I'm a Los Angeles native photographer who has been shooting for 16 years. I mainly focus on lifestyle and travel on my Instagram @noel.alva but I shoot everything from weddings to concert photography as well. I shoot with a Nikon D750 and 20mm 1.8 lens about 98% of the time. Although I live in Los Angeles, I never am home because I'm always out seeking adventure in beautiful places with wonderful individuals. My next big adventure is in November where I move to Guatemala for several months before then roaming all over Central and South America for up to two years until I make it to Patagonia."
