⎈ At twilight

 

  Twilight appears almost blue-purple if the white balance of the digital camera is set on shadow, photos taken in sunrise or sunset will be yellowish while deep shade will be bluish, due to its extremely high Kelvin temperature. When cityscapes are photographed at twilight, the contrast betwen the lights of buildings and cobalt blue sky is very dramatic. If we shoot the city skylines at twilight rather than at night when the sky becomes dark we' ll get a distinguished picture.
