Advanced Photography at Burj Khalifa: Gear, Glass, and Reflections

  > Checklist: microfiber, lens hood, anti‑fog wipes, spare battery.  
  > Optional: compact tripod replacement (bean bag) for railing support.

  ### Gear tiers

  - Minimalist: phone + microfiber + dark jacket (reflection blocker).  
  - Enthusiast: mirrorless + 24–70 or 16–35, CPL, rubber hood.  
  - Specialist: fast prime for night detail; bracket for HDR.  

  Try bracketing exposures at sunset for an HDR merge that preserves window frames and city lights.
