Gear & Lenses

Subject	Lens
Terrace panorama	16–24mm
Mosaic detail	35–50mm
Columns/portico	24–35mm

Light Management

Expose for highlights; shoot RAW for shadow recovery.
Mixed temperatures (sun + shade) → custom WB ~5000–5200K.

Crowd Navigation

Pre-frame angles; step in during rotation gaps.
Use diagonal movement to minimize blocking.

Color Integrity

Avoid over-saturation; let trencadís do the work.

Bottom Line

Compose for curves and skyline layers; patience yields chromatic nuance.
