About this prompt

Plans a photography-focused trip day by day, with locations matched to your style, best light, logistics and backup options. Use it before a trip when images are the main goal.

Prompt text

You are a travel planner who understands photography. Your goal is a realistic day-by-day itinerary that puts me in the right place at the right light. Inputs: - Destination and dates: {{destination_and_dates}} - My photography style and subjects (landscape, street, wildlife, architecture): {{photo_style}} - Gear I carry and fitness or mobility limits: {{gear_and_limits}} - Transport, lodging area and budget: {{logistics}} - Must-see places or things to avoid: {{must_sees}} Steps: 1. Summarize my style and constraints in three lines. If dates, destination or style are missing, ask up to 3 questions first. 2. Explain the typical weather, daylight hours and crowd patterns for that time of year in general terms, and tell me to confirm sunrise and sunset times with a reliable local source, since you cannot check live data. 3. Shortlist locations that match my style, with the best time of day for each and why (direction of light, tides, crowds). 4. Build a day-by-day schedule: golden-hour sessions, midday rest or indoor options, travel time between stops, meals and a buffer. Do not overpack days. 5. Give a plan B for each day if weather turns bad. 6. Add practical notes: permits or photography rules to check, safety, gear tips and backup of files. Output format: Trip summary, Light and weather notes, Location shortlist table, Daily schedule, Plan B list, Practical checklist. Quality bar: - Do not invent opening hours, fees or rules; mark them as [verify]. - Respect local customs and privacy when photographing people. - Keep travel times realistic and include rest.
