Hours of Darkness: By Balvinder Sandhu for ImageStation

When you come across this website address, you might be forgiven for thinking that it’s about things you can do in the dark. It would probably conjure up images of fun activities you can engage in when you are left in the dark, to occupy yourself for a few hours.

Well, there is a little bit of truth in this, because www.hoursofdarkness.com is a website that boasts a collection of night and low light photography. And many people would consider taking photos as one fun thing that you could do when the sun is down.

The website features an impressive collection of photos, taken by a self-taught photographer based in New York. In their description of themselves in the “Artists” section of the website, they emphasize that, “with this website we try to share how we see things through the camera lens”. And, once you browse through the images that they have gathered, you will realize that the way that they see things through the camera lens is rather spectacular indeed.

There are a few sections of images on this website, with a total of six galleries. They are “Night” (three galleries), “Black & White”, “Black & White Light”, and “Light”. It’s hard to pick a favorite among all of them, as each has its unique charm. Also, because there are a myriad of subjects that are covered in the images, each of these photos will appeal to you in a different way.

Subjects photographed include street signs, roads, buildings, vehicles and bridges. But it really doesn’t matter what the subject is, because they’re all fascinating and very well taken. Some might say that they are artistically shot, but others may be of the opinion that they’re just tastefully taken, hence why you see them in the best light (no pun intended).
