Stockholm, Sweden- The old town area

Stockholm old town is a maze of tiny streets and it remains illuminated long after the tourists have gone which makes it a magical place to walk around late at night.

Helsinki, Finland I set my alarm for 3.00am to get this one due to the very short space of night time available in June. I was quite taken by the almost seamless join between the sky and the sea which almost made the whole scene look like it is floating.

St Petersburg - Russia

Most people are aware of the many stunning buildings in St Petersburg for which it is rightly famous. I opted to record some of the side streets which are not so well documented and are almost at odds with the picture postcard mainstream view of the city.

Rome - Italy

As most of the monuments are illuminated at night, this makes Rome the the perfect destination to photograph after sunset.

Niagara - Canada The Canadian experience of Niagara is very different from the American side of the town. It is the Canadian side that offers the largest amount of the tourist traps leaving the American side as a state park. Both however, offer stunning views of Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls - USA One of the many paths that line the route through Niagara Falls State Park.

Cleveland, Ohio - USA

Two very different shots of the "Rock and Roll Museum" in Cleveland, Ohio. When viewed from above the whole building looks like a gigantic record turntable.

Shanghai - China

When I visited we had plenty of rain coupled with plenty of heat which made it ideal conditions to get out and about with the camera at night.

Sidmouth, Devon - UK

The choice of the local council to use orange lights makes it much harder to get a colour correct image but on a plus side, it does force you to look hard at mono compositions on site.
