London from above at night

Now that the Beijing Olympics has finished all eyes are now on London, in the run up to 2012. These stunning images of London expertly shot from a helicopter at night, show London from above at night.

Shooting aerial photography during the daytime had its own difficulties, you are strapped tightly into a harness leaning out of the helicopter, shouting directions through the headsets to the pilot. If shooting in the day can be difficult, night and the lack of light causes its own set of problems, but overcoming them is half the fun and the results can be stunning. I shoot at night using the very latest digital cameras, mounted on either one or two gyro stablazied mounts, depending on the format of the camera and length of lens I’m having to use.

Number 13 is my personal favourite.
