The Nocturnes Gallery is a collection of the night photography work of a number of photographers who are serious about evoking images from the dark. Each photographer has a small gallery, each gallery has a link to the photographer's website. Their styles vary, from moody black and white to use of lighting effects, and much between the extremes.

The photographic essays of Mustard Gas Party explore the decay abandoned structures and modern ruins. The site collects three years' worth of photography of urban and suburban decay to keep aficionados of modern ruins happy. Lab-Wan's photography is an exploration of both decay and darkness, with sections devoted to both abandoned places and night photography. If your taste runs toward entire abandoned town and historic sites, Ghost Town Gallery houses some 1700 pictures of 180 Western US ghost towns, mines, cemeteries, old mills, and more. Includes an interactive map of the abandoned places that the gallery contains.
