Morning and evening: leave quieter hours for observation. Walk a short section first, learn the surroundings and light, then decide where to pause.

Midday: rest, organise images and discuss the next route. Charge batteries, check storage and put observations into a notebook.

Flexible transfers: leave breathing room between locations. A promising cloud or shaft of woodland light deserves a pause, while changing conditions need time to adapt.

Daily review: select a few frames and consider the background, light and distance. Let useful questions shape tomorrow instead of counting photographs.
