Hey guys, I will be heading to this location in June and I am wondering if you guys have any advice. I didn't have my tripod with me for this shot and I will be more prepared for the future. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Arrive prior to Sunrise or Sunset and have a good quality ND filter for at least a couple of the shots. On a windy day, an ND filter can make for some pretty dramatic skies if you have some cloud cover.
Hi Jessadayut, I will tell you what I like about this image. I love the color and that you kept it within the realm of reality. I think the composition is spectacular. I wouldn't mind seeing a version with the arch of sky going down on the left too but that is not a criticism on this one - more just curious. Just mentioned these so that you keep what works with this one.
For the future I agree with David 100%. But even more importantly ... a tripod is a must.
As a suggestion, after the sun goes down, play with a super long exposure - like 30" or more and see what you get. You might be surprised by the remnants of color that the camera will pick up when, to your eyes, it is dark.
Have fun, good luck and I would love you to send me a message so I know to look at your post when you return.

Thanks David, I'll be here for a couple days so I'll definitely have time to prepare for this. It's just 200 meters from my backyard.

Yes will do. Thank you for your advice.
