Night light (Posted: 1/28/12) --
Darkroom Gallery in Essex Jct., Vermont seeks entries for an international photography exhibition, April 19 - May 13, 2012. Free framing/matting, Juror's Choice, Peoples Choice. Juror: Linda Rutenberg. Open to all Photographers. Night photography reveals a world that we do not consciously see and offers photographers unique creative opportunities. Night and day, dark and light - one implies the absence of the other. But like yin yang, each has a bit of the other. The surprising thing to first time night photographers is how their images reveal things that the mind's eye does not see. Different light sources reveal their true colors. Compared to daylight, directed and weaker light creates drama, contrast, mystery and mood. The dynamic range of light at night tends to be more in line with our tools abilities. Of course there are technical challenges with shooting in low light, but also tremendous creative opportunities. That's what we want to show with this exhibit. How have you approached shooting at night to express your vision? $24 entry fee. Deadline: March 21, 2012. Visit website for details, or send SASE to: Darkroom Gallery, 12 Main St., Essex Jct., VT 05452. Questions? Contact Ken Signorello at submissions@darkroomgallery.com or call 802-777-FOTO.
