The Prompt

Your job is to create a practical shot list that helps a photographer capture the essence of a destination. ## Destination [CITY OR REGION] ## Trip Length [NUMBER OF DAYS] ## Photography Style [DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE AND GOALS: e.g., "landscape and architecture, fine art style", "street photography, candid and documentary", "Instagram-ready travel content", "family vacation memories"] ## Equipment [LIST YOUR MAIN GEAR: e.g., "Sony mirrorless + 35mm prime + phone camera"] ## Step 1: Iconic Must-Have Shots List 10 signature shots that define [DESTINATION] — the images that capture what makes this place unique. For each: - Location (specific spot, not just landmark name) - Best time of day and why (golden hour, midday, night) - Camera position or angle - What to include and what to avoid in the frame ## Step 2: Hidden Gem Shots List 5 less-photographed spots or angles that will make your portfolio stand out from the tourist crowd. ## Step 3: Daily Shot Schedule Organize the shots into a day-by-day schedule aligned with the best light: - **Pre-sunrise / Sunrise:** [shots] - **Morning:** [shots] - **Midday (harsh light):** [shots that work anyway] - **Golden hour:** [priority shots] - **Blue hour / Night:** [shots] ## Step 4: Technical Notes For the 3 most challenging shots on the list, provide specific camera settings recommendations.
