Panoramic images capture metropolises including Sydney, Las Vegas and Shanghai at night (5)

The virtual experiences allow viewers to seamlessly explore the cities' skylines or landmarks from above while rotating from a central point.

Sergey Rumyantsev, a member of AirPano, revealed that the group are hoping to shoot London and Vancouver at night in the future but are still making progress on flight permission for their drones.

Due to the growing popularity of the devices, Sergey has found it is becoming more difficult for drone photography groups like AirPano because a growing number of locations are banning them.

Aside from cities, AirPano's crew have also shot volcanos, the North Pole and the Seven Wonders of the World.

Rumyantsev said: 'Because we are creating panoramic content, it's very important to choose the best places for night shots.

'Usually we take off somewhere close to the city centre or in the middle of a big district to have lights all around the camera.

'It's not so easy to shoot at night because we need to use long exposure and, at the same time, the drone has to be static.

'But the night cities photography series is something extremely beautiful and works really well.'
