I usually plan my scenes ahead a bit, especially if I’m going for a specific mood like dusk or early morning light. I use my phone most of the time (Pixel 6), but I’ve also played around with a DSLR when I want that extra depth of field control.
My favorite spot is a little curve near a weathered station—I added a streetlight and a few tiny figures there, and it always gives me cinematic vibes. 📸
Also, guilty of building a very questionable tripod out of foam scraps and binder clips to get rail-level shots. Not pretty—but it works!
