The Blue Hour at Morro do Pai Inácio

The blue hour is starting: are you ready?

The sun has set and Chapada Diamantina is bathed in a cool, soft light. According to Liz Masoner, About.com Guide to Photography, this is referred to as the blue hour, a prime time for superb shots. The Morro do Pai Inácio summit is ideal for it because the descent back to the start of the trail is not so long or hard that you can't manage it in dim light - as long, of course, as you are accompanied by a reliable guide.

Be as ready as professional photographer João Ramos: bring a tripod and follow the basic steps of night photography for some memorable shots of this unique Brazil destination.
