📸 Pro Photographer Tips for Epic Shots
-
Chase the golden hour—just after sunrise or before sunset.
-
Use a versatile zoom lens (18–135mm) to cover both close-ups and distant landscapes.
-
Think creative composition—reflections, shadows, or a human element in front of a grand scene.
-
Add personality—stand before the mountains or lie on the dunes for a unique perspective.
