These are my favorite flowers because of their unique shape. But capturing them at night requires planning to select the right day and time for the Milky Way to align with the hill, as well as having the luck of a cloudless sky that allows a full view of the stars. It also takes patience to wait for minimal wind conditions, which can compromise the clarity of the flowers. The light needs to be uniform to ensure image quality.
