• ›Work the edges of the day. The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset (plus the blue hour just after) give warm, low, directional light that flat midday can't.
• ›Shoot Queen's Park Savannah wide for the establishing frame, then hunt the details — a doorway, a sign, a texture — that tell the same story up close.
• ›Chase reflections after rain: puddles, wet cobbles, and glass turn an ordinary street into a symmetrical frame.
• ›Turn around. The best shot is often behind you — and quieter spots like Maraval Road food strip give you angles no one else is posting.
• ›Photograph people with respect: a nod or a smile first, and skip anyone who clearly doesn't want the lens. Better photos, fewer problems.
