Tips for Better Manali Photos

• Check the season. Snow usually falls in winter, roughly December to February, but it varies each year; spring and autumn bring clear skies and orchards instead.
• Check road status. Rohtang Pass needs a permit, and roads beyond Manali can close after heavy snow, so check before planning a shoot.
• Expose for snow. Phones often make snow look grey; tap on your face or lower the exposure slightly to keep detail.
• Wear colour. Red, mustard, emerald and pink pop against snow and deodar green.
• Shoot candids. Walking shots in Old Manali lanes often look better than posed ones. Our candid captions suit them.
• Keep batteries warm. Cold drains phones fast, so carry a power bank in an inner pocket.
