Dubai Miracle Garden Photography – Gear and Settings

Overview

Pack light, shoot smart. The garden favors nimble gear and flexible settings.

Pack List

• 24–70mm, 35mm prime, macro lens.
• CPL filter to tame reflections; ND if you love motion blur.
• Spare battery; microfiber cloth; lightweight sling.

Settings

• Portraits: f/2.8–f/4; eye‑level; clean backgrounds.
• Macros: stop down a touch (f/4–f/8) to keep detail.
• Wide scenes: f/5.6–f/8; mind the edges.

Handling & Flow

• Switch lenses at shaded benches; avoid swapping in dusty wind.
• Use burst mode with kids; candid sequences beat stiff poses.

Bonus: Pre‑visualize frames at tunnels and path curves — composition gets easier when you know the lines.

Bottom Line

Versatility beats overpacking — pick two lenses and move your feet.
