I focus less on heavy gear and more on being ready to shoot when the sky explodes over LA. Based on what I share, here’s what I recommend:
- A camera (phone or DSLR/mirrorless) that lets you tap or meter on the bright sky
- A lens in the wide-to-normal range to capture the full sweep of the sunset
- A small tripod or stable surface for low-light shots
- A microfiber cloth to keep the lens clean near the coast
Want tips on camera settings too, like exposure and color for those “painted” LA skies?
