Then you should worry about understanding photography first, once you have that and you know how to take a photo, then you worry about making a name for yourself.

Read up on techniques, common practices, composition, lighting, etc. and if you have a camera, read the manual. It may do more than you know.

>Blurry blue hour pic with an underexposed foreground
Learn to use a tripod, when I see pics like this I just keep scrolling

If you want to gain followers just start following every random faggot you can find, don't care who it is. Sports, nature, weeb shit, automotive, whatever, they're all filled with attention-fags like you and will return the follow and never look at your shit. Just think, you too can have over 10,000 followers on instagram and get no favs cause literally no one gives a shit about a blurry underexposed blue hour pic.

>blue hour

>>3058517
"Period of time after sunset or before sunrise where sunlight is still visible". Yes, the picture is orange, it's just a term, if you want to use civil twilight, by all means, I can just as easily get a picture to look somewhat the same easily into blue hour light.

"The blue hour (from French l'heure bleue)[1][a] is the period of twilight early in the dawn each morning and late in the dusk each evening when the sun is at a significant distance below the horizon and the residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue hue."

blue hue being the keyword here

jfc.. I took this (pic related) about 70 minutes before sunrise, it's barely considered blue hour. At that time it's considered astronomical twilight and I managed to get the orange hue, crop it down, there wouldn't be much blue hue in the sky.

Also, why the hell do you care?

Yes, this picture looks like shit, I downloaded it off my Facebook which already limits me to shit 2048 quality and compressed the picture after that, I don't care enough for the sake of argument.

I assume OP's shot is blue hour because everything in the foreground is drastically underexposed, there should be enough light during civil twilight. However, what do I know, I refuse to take shots after sunset w/o using a tripod.

And this is how you get idiot HDR, color isolation, raised blacks, and shitty shallow BOKEH """portraits""" (did I miss any other crowd pleasers?)

Which is fine as long as you're happy
