Russian port at midnight, a photo from Saint Petersburg, Northwest

Photographer's Note

This photo was taken at midnight in St. Petersburg, Russia, with natural light and no tripod. I was amazed at the amount of ambient light so late in the evening. We were on a cruise of the Baltic Sea, and while in Russia the sun never seemed to set completely, there was always some light available.

I know this photo isn't that great technically but I wanted to share the midnight light!

"The White nights." St. Petersburg stands at such a high latitude that the sun does not descend below the horizon enough for the sky to grow dark. In fact night becomes curiously indistinguishable from day, so much so that they never need to turn the city's streetlights on! White Nights, normally last from June 11th to July 2nd.
It is a Great shot! Well done.
