Tips
When to go
Best season
All months
Best time
Sunset
The tress of the forest will change slightly in color, but they'll never be completely bare, meaning you can photograph a similar shot of the fireside patio at Canyon Ranch Woodside during any month.
Sunset during dinner service is the best time of the day to get this shot. Although the sun will set behind the hills a bit earlier than true sunset time—don't worry—the fire pits and heat lamps will keep you warm!
Field tips
A 35mm lens was used to give a natural field of view that's similar to the human eye.
I used a tripod with a 10 second timer to capture these photos of myself and my friend enjoying wine by the fire. If you're photographing yourself with a friend, don't forget to bring your tripod!
You'll want the scene to look natural, so make sure your models are relaxed and having fun. Their comfortability will show through in the image.
