Darren Almond photographed the world's most famous landscapes at night for 25 years – but they look like they were shot in broad daylight, thanks to this simple exposure trick

Point a camera at a landscape lit only by the moon and, by every normal rule of photography, you should get black. That's why Darren Almond's Fullmoon series still stops people in their tracks more than 25 years after he made the first frame.

Yosemite valley, Patagonian glaciers, Japanese temple gardens and Bermuda's pink sand beaches all appear lit as if by an overcast midday sun. They were, however, shot in moonlit darkness.
