There are plenty of commonly shot perspectives in this dome – but this is not one of them! This spot beautifully combines the greenery and architecture that this place is famous for.

Tips
When to go
Best season
All months
Best time
Mid-day
All months are suitable to photograph within the Cloud Forest. Although some months are busier than others, it’s great since having people in your frame bring the scene to life!
Visit during mid-day when the sun is at its highest. The sunlight will cast shadows of the dome onto the floor which create the patterned lines you see on the ground level of this image.
Field tips
By using a wide-angle lens (11mm) you’ll be able to maximize the capture of the Cloud Forest.
I centered my photograph by using the path on the ground level. This spot also nicely captures the leading lines of the ceiling. Try walking around and experimenting with different focal lengths to find your perfect composition.
To maintain sharp focus of the foliage and architecture, try using a small aperture.
