Photoshoot for Digipak inside Panels

These are the main photographs I took for my Digipak sunset panel. I mainly liked the photographs that had the sun centered in the middle of the frame and had slightly more sky ratio to land.

I firstly realized when taking the photographs how it was very difficult to jump from sunrise to sunset over two panels because it is basically a 180 degree turn to face where the sunrise would be to where the sunset would be.

It was also difficult to have a clear shot of where the sunset was as well as a clear shot of where the sunrise would be after turning nearly 180 degrees.

I roughly put together the photographs I took in the first field I went to see how the technique might look in my Digipak. In the far right panel is the area of where the sun would rise in this location.

I realized I should have started taking photographs of the sunset in the location I would have taken photographs for the sunrise, as when I put the photographs roughly together the place the sunrise would be is meant to be on the far left panel (not the far right panel). So I went to the place where the sun would rise in the morning to test idea again.

I found that a field was the best location to my photographs because elsewhere objects were too tall and obstructed the view of the sun rise and sun set. (The sun would rise in the far left panel and was setting in the far right panel)

I found a field that would show my sunrise best as it would rise in the far left panel which has low trees which would emphasize the sunrise clouds and colours.

I have decided since there is such a large turn to physically make with the camera to aim from sunrise to sunset that I will return to my earlier plan to use photographs in my inside Digipak panels that do not link up. However I will make sure I have the same ratio of land to sky in all of my 3 panel photographs so that they link together well.
