Use a tripod for long exposures to capture flowing clouds and moving people.

Key spots include the main gate entrance (ideal for portrait shots through archways), the East Cliff Terrace (perfect for wide-angle valley views), and the summit observation deck (great for night cityscapes lit by streetlights).
