   • It's fun to experiment with different angles and compositions to convey the scale and majesty of the waterfalls.

5. Fields:

   • I'm attracted to the expansive fields and meadows, particularly during seasons of blooming wildflowers or when the grasses are at their peak.

6. Sunrises and Sunsets:

   • One priority is to capture the park bathed in the warm hues of sunrise or sunset, emphasizing the changing colors of the sky.
   • In my photos, I frame the landscape with silhouettes of trees, hills, or other natural elements to enhance the dramatic effect.
