When to go
Best season
May, June, July, August, September
Visit during these months if you want to capture the sunset as it strikes this side of the dome. It will also create nice shadows onto your model.
At sunset you’ll be able to play with nice shadows and lights that fall into the exhibition space. The lighting will also not be too harsh. If you visit earlier in the day, the light may be harsh and it definitely will be hot!
Field tips
I think the starburst makes this shot extra special. A DSLR will capture it best.
The sunset really creates nice shadow patterns, like broken glass shards being thrown towards the model. Get creative on how you use them!
As a backlit image you may have to bring out the exposure in post-processing (I had to).
