Real Point take part in the 4am Project in Coventry
Early in the morning, while it was still dark . . . No I wasn't off to see an empty tomb but for the third year running I was taking part in the 4am Project. It's a great concept to encourage you to see your local area, in my case Coventry, in a different "light"!
Last year I took a stroll round the canal basin area in the centre of Coventry and the year before through the main Coventry shopping precincts. This year I stayed a bit closer to home and took a stroll round Jardine Crescent in Tile Hill (the links take you to the photo sets on Flickr). The light from the various street lights gives the pictures a very abstract look and almost makes them look like negatives. The outcomes are often surprising and buildings that in normal daylight are perhaps not the most attractive, take on a dramatic stance. The images certainly go into the design inspiration notebook, so watch out for maybe one of the textures appearing in the background of one of our next website design projects.
So if you can drag yourself out of bed at the unearthly hour of 4am, why not get involved? We'd love to see the results.
Highlights from this year's excursion

4amProject 2010
I once again set my alarm for a time way to early to be up on a Sunday morning and took part in the 4amProject, taking photos around Coventry at 4am in the morning on the 4/4. This time I visited the Canal Basin and Coventry Transport Museum, hope you like the outcome.
This is the second time I've taken part, last year's photos are still on Flickr, and the 4am Project's growing Flickr stream provides a fascinating glimpse of a time most of us never see, all around the world. So why not get your camera out and see what happen's where you live and work at 4am in the morning? Or if getting up then is just a bit too early, get some creative inspiration from the images of others.
