All months of the year are suitable to photograph N Fairfaxe Avenue.
The featured image was taken about 10-15 minutes after sunset. I love the vibes of this spot with its palm trees, colorful sunset and car light trails.
If you’re planning on taking a long exposure or a photo around sunset, show up early. Give yourself that cushion of time to prepare and setup. Sometimes the light and clouds are unpredictable, so be ready for the moment once it’s there!
Field tips
You’ll be photographing on the side of the road so be careful of the passing traffic.
Since the perfect moment can be unpredictable, it's good to have multi-range lens so you can zoom in or out, as needed.
If you're doing a long exposure and you don't have a shutter remote, try setting a 2-second or 10-second delay so your handling of the camera doesn't blur the image.
A Neutral Density filter will help you capture a long exposure without overexposing.
