1. On the internet, you could go to a website that tells about the place you are planning to shoot so that you can get all the important information like the the lighting, weather, and temperature so that you can know the best time to shoot. 2. Google Maps is a good app to have downloaded because it shows you what places look like from a street view as well as a bird eye view so that you know what a place really looks like. 3. One of the biggest problems when shooting with a wide lens is that there could not be a defined focal point when in a busy area like a forest. 4. The website suggests using an ND Grad Filter instead of using an HDR Image. 5.

I could just wear a bright color that would stand out so that if there are lots of things in the background, the main subject, which is me, would stand out more.

1. In order to make an HDR Image, I will have to change the shutter speed and F-stop to change the exposure levels. 2. To take this kind of image, I will need a camera and a tripod so the camera doesn't move. 3. Someone might want to use HDR Photography because it makes for an interesting photo. 4. You would expect an HDR photo to be brighter and have more colors than just a single photo.
