Sometimes you need to gain a little ground to get the right angle for a shot – it could mean climbing a ladder or a hill or even, as in the case of shooting a twilight elevation, building scaffolding. Twilight shots typically need a stable platform for a tripod, as the shutter speeds can be up to ten seconds long. You can strap a tripod down to a ladder, but in the end, building a platform proved to be the best way to get the image that we needed.
