Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Sunset, Night
Since this is an indoor location it can be photographed all months of the year.
The orange panels do not illuminate until night time so you'll want to visit then!

Field tips

Be mindful of the security guards in the area. Try not to spend too much time taking your photograph.
Try using a wide-angle lens (16mm) so you can capture as much of the look up as possible.
I didn't use a tripod for this photograph so I had to push up the ISO to 3200. Fortunately for my full-frame camera it didn't result in much noise.
You may want to sit down on the floor, or even lie down, to get more of the lookup. When it's time to post process you'll have all the image detail you need.
