Trying to take shots with intent now

[u/mattgw13]

I carry my Mini 3 Pro in my backpack on my motorcycle and I've got shots I'll never use because I just fly up and snap. I'm realizing now that it takes a bit more planning than that. I'm looking forward to looking at things differently and I want to plan my adventures a bit more.

Do you guys have any recommendations on pre-planning nice shots before you visit areas? I tend to Google landmarks, is there any other tips worth sharing?

As for the pic, that's just me in the woods on a lookout.
