Sunrise In Mozambique

Nascer do Sol as 4 da manhã - "Sunrise at 4am" Maragogi Salines

By Lê Devegili, Nascer Do Sol, Mozambique

 
If you would like to see more of Le Devegili’s photos please visit his flickr photostream.
 
Somewhere in the world on 4th April at 4am the sun will be rising. The birds will be singing their morning song, and a brand new day will begin.
 
Just a few things to remember when submitting your photos of 4am…….
 
Please do not hide the properties of your photographs. Hidden properties mean I can not verify that the images were taken in the hour of 4am, 04:00-04:59 on the 4th April in your local time. Please embrace the spirit of the 4am project.
 
When submitting your photos via flickr, please put your name and location in the TITLE of the picture so that people can see straight away in what part of the world you picture was taken.
 
If you emaill your image to me, please include your name and location. I will then upload your photo to the 4am Project’s flickr account. Pictures can be sent to: 4amproject@googlemail.com
 
If there is a story behind the picture it would be great if you could write a little bit to go along with the image. You don’t have to though, but it would be nice.
 
I think that’s it for now! If I think of anything else I’ll blog about it tomorrow.
 
If you have any questions please email me 4amproject@googlemail.com or contact me on twitter. :)

Alone In The Dark

Alone in the dark... ♫

By Elsa Kawai, London, UK

If you would like to see more of Elsa’s photos, please visit her photostreamon flickr.
 
Elsa says:
 
“At 4am 11 June…moment of admiring the moon… at the apartment…my view in my bedroom…”
 
If you are wondering what photo to take next weekend at 4am, why not try the view from your house, or a self portrait?
 
Something to remember:If you haven’t got a flickr account and want to submit your 4am photo(s) via flickr, please sign up as soon as possible for a free account. This is because flickr impose a few days delay between new accounts and when photos can feed through to the 4am website. To find out more about using flickr, please visit this page.  
 
Alternatively, you may email your photos directly to me, and I will upload them to the 4am Project’s flickr account. 4amproject(@)googlemail.com
 
Please remember to include the town/city and country you are in (preferably in the title of the photo) as well as your name of course! If there is a story behind the picture, it would be great to hear about it.
 
If you have any questions, please send me an email 4amproject(@)googlemail.com, or send me a tweet on twitter http://www.twitter.com/4amproject
 
I am organising a 4am photo walk in my hometown (Birmingham, UK), perhaps you could do the same! See if your friends and family would like to join in too.

3 at 4am

 
 
 
4amproject North Leeds, Yorkshire.

By Frank Blakemore, Yorkshire, United Kingdom

 
If you would like to see more of Frank’s photographs, please visit his flickr photostream.
 
Frank doesn’t tell us anything about the story behind the photo. Are the 3 tooth brushes all Frank’s or does he share the house with two other people? Why is Frank up at 4am? The small lamp or torch adds to the photos mystique and casts interesting light on the subject.
 
As you may know, the 4am Project is on twitter. I was curious to know what people were tweeting at 4am. Why were they awake at 4am? What were they doing? I took a screen shot at random….
 
Killermoo was feeling creative, Researchguy found that getting up at 4am wasn’t as bad as he thought, Softreeds is getting used to the new hours of parenting, and I especially like the last tweet from Majah “It’s a good thing I’m still awake at 4am because who else would look after the internet while everyone is asleep!” Thank you Majah! :)
 
 
 
4am
 
Do you know what your image will be at 4am on 4th April? There is only 1 week to go! Your photo can be of anything at all. Yourself, your house, your pet, your friends/family. Perhaps you will venture outside and capture your neighbourhood at 4am, or go further still. Just let your imagination go!
 
You can upload your photos to flickr and tag them ‘4amproject’ or email your pictures to me. Visit the ‘how to’ page for more details. If you have any questions, or comments about the project, please feel free to send an email 4amproject (@) googlemail.com or send me a tweet on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/4amproject. I love hearing from you!

If you would like to read about my photography and project, please visit my blog.
 
A few weeks ago I was invited onto the Sunday Social  show on Rhubarb Radio by presenters Mark Steadman and Michael Grimes to talk about the 4am Project.
 
Thanks for inviting me, guys! I really enjoyed my first radio experience.
 
Mark had kindly edited the show, and you can now listed to a 5 minute podcast of my interview where I talk about the origins of the 4am Project.
 
 
If you can’t see the player, please visit the podcast website.

Under The Panda Moon

Under The Panda Moon.

By Vectorsnob, Seattle, USA

If you would like to see more of Vectorsnob’s photographs, please visit his flickr photostream.  The guy in the picture is Vectorsnob’s friend Thai.
 
Do you like black and white photography? Of course, it’s all down to personal  taste. Black and white photos can appear starker and more contrasted than colour pictures.
 
If you haven’t tried black and white, perhaps it’s something you might like to experiment with for your 4am shots on the 4th April. If you are using a film camera, then black and white film can be used. If you are using a digital camera, check the settings as most probably there will be an option for black & white.
 
Don’t forget, you can now email your 4am photos. If you don’t have aflickr account or don’t want to sign up for one, just send your photo’s to 4amproject (@) googlemail.com. The idea file size is 150kb. Please remember to include the town/city and country and your name in the email.
 
If you have any comments or questions just drop me an email 4amproject (@) googlemail.com, or you can follow the project on Twitter. I look forward to hearing from you.
