Pro Tips
Photography Tips for Meghalaya
Capture the magic of Meghalaya with these tips from Bah Markos, who has guided hundreds of photographers through these landscapes.
Golden Hour is King
The hour after sunrise and before sunset offers the most flattering light for landscapes.
Embrace the Mist
Meghalaya is famous for its mist and clouds. Don't wait for clear skies — mist adds drama.
Protect Your Gear
It rains frequently. Bring rain covers, lens cloths, and silica gel packets for your camera bag.
Wide Angle Wins
A 16-35mm lens is ideal for capturing the vastness of canyons, waterfalls, and landscapes.
Long Exposures
Use ND filters and tripods for silky waterfall shots and smooth cloud movement.
Bring a Headlamp
Essential for cave photography and early morning sunrise shoots at Nongjrong.
