Shutter Hub has put out a call for submissions.
‘We’re inviting you to put your images forward for our forthcoming publication, NIGHT MOODS.
Whether you’re interested in seemingly mundane street scenes or evocative nocturnal landscapes, prefer a spot of astrophotography or maybe just enjoy experimenting with light trails, NIGHT MOODS aims to showcase the range of photographic expression available at night.
The night can be an incredibly suggestive time, with the darkness useful for creating mystery or an unnerving atmosphere. Scenes we overlook during the day often take on a fascinating new appearance at night, or you may simply be inspired by the romance of the colours in the sky in the moments just after sunset to create something beautiful.’
I’ve submitted four images.
The photos were accompanied by the following statement.
‘Autumn: the days shorten and the dark envelops the streets with premature night, catching the last hours of hustle and bustle, the last shopping, the urgent homeward journey. Light flooding from shop windows illuminates the streets and weaving traffic leaves stop-start trails of red and white. Colours take on new brilliance and intensity against the dark and give places a new vibrancy. I’ve tried to capture this atmosphere in the cosmopolitan shopping street and through route near where I live.’
