Photography Tips & Techniques
Tip 1: In Bali's dry December season, prioritize golden hour (6-8 AM, 5-7 PM) for soft light on terraces and temples
Use wide-angle lenses (16-35mm) for landscapes, ND filters for silky waterfalls, and polarizers for vibrant skies. Respect temple dress codes (sarong/kain) and no drone zones. Shoot ceremonies ethically without flash. Tripods essential for low light; carry rain cover despite dry season[1][2][3][6][7].
