CHAPTER 05
The 3-Shot Rule
The Wide
Establish the scene
Use the 0.5x ultra-wide lens. Include leading lines and natural frames for depth. This is your "where is that?" shot.
0.5x wide · Grid on · HDR on · Level horizon
The Detail
Tell the story
Zoom into what makes the place unique: hand-painted tiles, weathered signs, local textures. This is what makes your content feel authentic.
Macro or 2-3x zoom · Tap to focus · Bright light
The Human
Add emotion
Put yourself in the scene with a 10-second timer and your Pocket Tripod. This is the shot that gets saved and shared.
Timer 10s · Tripod on any surface · Portrait mode
Result
3 shots = one complete story of any location
