How I Shoot Blue Hour

[@AronBagel]

Blue hour is my absolute favourite time to shoot. It just has such a distinctive look!

[@strangerinwhite]

I feel so much peace and calm during the blue hour. It's the best time for filming and photography, next is the Golden hour.

[@codyandvictoria]

Amazing landscape up there. How's it skiing back down in total darkness? 😅

[@calebwhite681]

Nice Moraine Lake profile pic! I went there last summer. Probably on of my favorite places ever.

[@codyandvictoria]

Definitely one of my favorites. Going to backpack Banff this summer 🙌

[@spencerbackman]

Loved this one, dude. You truly own this element. You can feel the magic in this. 🤙

[@leeroimacasinag7943]

Feeling the music on this one Alex, blue hour is definitely one to experience and experiment on 👌🏻

[@alexstrohl]

Hope you enjoyed this one. What other approaches / techniques do you want to hear about in future films?

[@iku1sestiweddings]

Great tutorial! What is this song in the video? It sounds so familiar 😲

[@astoniaallen839]

Kinda sounds like lucid dreams

[@gabrielkhoury8669]

Shape of my Heart by Sting... But an EP lofi... I'm trying to find the song

[@elliotjsimpson]

Yes Alex! I'm experienced at shooting in blue hour, but do love to watch these videos anyway. Keep it up!

[@GTSO0]

can we appreciate the beautiful colour grading

[@ewanharvey8924]

Love the energy and vibe of this one Alex!

[@calebwhite681]

Alex thank you! I was just thinking about how I should search for this video on your channel and here you publish one! I love your work. Crazy you around like 1M plus subs...you'll get there. Just keep doing what you're doing. I used to think blue hour was awful, like, how could I get interesting photos then? I have learned much since then, and can't wait to get out and shoot.

[@wesley-eland]

Love your out going/adventure type of videos!

[@mrmohantyexperiments]

Hey Alex, good stuff man. I accidentally stumbled upon your video while searching for some videos for my Sony A7s. I was curious what the blue hour was so i clicked this video and i must say it made very well. Tips were pretty on point. Your pictures were good but there was something really captivating about the video. It had this very filmy or i must say cinematic look to it. I would love to learn what focal length/lengths did you shoot the video sections at, especially the parts where you were speaking ?

[@soysweetPaulo]

Woow! Such great content. Thank you for these tips. I'm just starting out and this really helps. You are amazing!

[@ФилипМихајлов]

You are a great teacher Alex!

[@jordi0m]

1:35 - I'd assume you already know this, but it look like you used a noise reducer instead of just EQing out the super deep wind noises. Not sure if it's the highpass or the lowpass filter (whichever removes the lower frequencies) will do a way better job than the noise reducer (or use both). Love your channel. Much appreciation.

[@rmdub]

yuc0n yep. high pass! (As in, the high frequencies pass through)

[@markpnw10]

Please make more videos like this man you are great!

[@gking3551]

So good Alex, you are creating some amazing vids mate.

[@marcushague]

Awesome tips and video Alex!

[@TravelwithJean]

La classe cette petite RED pour un tuto :) les images sont très belles en tous cas. Bien joué !

[@levihoch6358]

Awesome video Alex! I love it up there, such a beautiful spot. Do you always use auto white balance?

[@alexstrohl]

Levi Hoch yes like 90% of time. The other 10% is when I’m a place with mixed lighting indoors

[@GerardGanglion]

Belle Vidéo Alex!

[@petruskas]

Thank you so much for these videos, Alex! Would you mind sharing what music you used?

[@wildernessandme]

A two way radio for a far away subject (person) would be a great idea.

[@TheoBEfilms]

what camera and lens was used to shoot this video?

[@brianstevens4261]

Super bummed I can't purchase the workshop anymore...

[@leogenot1783]

Je me suis toujours demandé comment shooter pendant la blue hour maintenant je suis opérationnel haha. Awesome vid!

[@scarletheart600]

POV; you searched for TXT's blue hour..

[@forspirit1172]

please write the name of the song in the beginning :D and btw nice video

[@hugotessier334]

the original music is shape of my heart by sting but I don't find this version

[@-grey]

Awb slows my camera down. That on top of slower low light focusing isn’t a good mix. So I custom a Fluorescent balance for Blue Hour, and then shoot manual settings. Then all the camera has to do is focus.

[@justinburgan]

Good stuff Alex!

[@mightyapostolic]

what’s the name of the song at the end bro, btw beaaautiful video!

[@buckallen1]

Its a remix of "shape of my heart" by Sting

[@francescavaccarezza618]

Love thissssss 😍😍

[@kirku9589]

Glacier Park/Flathead Workshop coming?🤞

[@alexstrohl]

You mean in person workshop?

[@kirku9589]

Yeah any chance that will happen?

[@CloudMediaStudio]

And yeah, first! Great instructions 😉

[@EthanBares]

What white balance do you use if you can't shoot RAW like for video?

[@alexstrohl]

Ethan Bares I use colour temps accordingly to indoors / outdoors

[@LoganDavidson]

Alex! What's your favorite headlamp for blue hour shooting? :)

[@alexstrohl]

Logan Davidson been happy with the Black Diamonds

[@LoganDavidson]

@@alexstrohl Any specific lumens? Appreciate the reply amigos

[@alexstrohl]

@@LoganDavidson you dont want too bright actually because it will overexpose

[@LoganDavidson]

@@alexstrohl Makes sense. Stoked on more uploads! Keep em coming.

[@AndreCostaco]

Thanks alex

[@FrancescoScaramucci]

loved the video, but not a big fan of the color grade on this one. that teal look of the sky made it all too surreal, it looked like you were in some other planet :D

[@yeobo]

i love this! :3

[@luwo]

what's the name of this song? anyone?

[@francisdumoulin23]

How do you shoot video like this at blue hour :O !!

[@DanielLawsonOfficial]

loveeee

[@RyanClowers]

4000ISO!!! I max out on 800ISO on my 70D :(

[@-grey]

I forgot that this is the reason I left my 7D. f1.8 wasn’t fast enough to mitigate the terrible noise.

[@LexElls]

70d is still a great camera though!

[@RyanClowers]

@@LexElls I love it! Just dont love how I pretty much have to put it away a few minutes into blue hour :(

[@Lauwergames]

3:45 man i was hoping for a number 8 bit is a bitch to correct. And not everybody has raw

[@rgh3044]

😎🙏🏻

[@mahirrahman3428]

Music?

[@natavia4544]

Who came here from TXT Blue hour MV

[@madebyjovan]

I want to see the shots taken with 70-200! 😆

[@alexstrohl]

Jovan Teo they’re in the vid!

[@alexstrohl]

And on IG

[@madebyjovan]

@@alexstrohl Just saw them. Looks awesome!

[@pincheshaki]

You look like a versión with beard of Adam Sandler

[@freeze1975]

He certainly doesn't🤦🏻‍♂️
