× I love to take pictures of different scenic views such as beaches, rivers and mountains.
✓ I love taking pictures of different scenic views such as beaches, rivers and mountains.
Using 'love' with a verb can take either the infinitive or the -ing form, but in conversational descriptions of hobbies the -ing form is more natural and consistent with following sentences that use gerunds (e.g. 'I usually take shots'). Replace 'to take' with 'taking' for natural collocation and stylistic consistency.
× I usually take shots of golden hour when the sky is orange and yellow, which I love the most.
✓ I usually take shots at golden hour when the sky is orange and yellow, which I love the most.
The fixed expression is 'at golden hour' (or 'during the golden hour'), not 'of golden hour'. Also 'which I love the most' is acceptable but slightly redundant; keeping it is fine. Change the preposition to 'at' to match the idiomatic phrase.
× I love taking pictures of rural areas as they offer very peaceful and vibrant colours of nature such as birds, animals, greenfields etcetera.
✓ I love taking pictures of rural areas as they offer very peaceful and vibrant colours of nature such as birds, animals and green fields.
Use 'and' before the final item in a list instead of 'etcetera' for clarity in a short enumerations. Also 'green fields' should be two words. Avoid 'etcetera' in spoken/detail sentences; explicitly list or end the list.
× I prefer taking pictures in my own country because India is a tropical country that offers almost everything from lush forest and beautiful beaches to high mountains and long rivers.
✓ I prefer taking pictures in my own country because India is a tropical country that offers almost everything from lush forests and beautiful beaches to high mountains and long rivers.
When listing 'lush forest' with 'almost everything from...to...' the plural 'forests' is appropriate to match 'beaches, mountains, rivers' which are plural. Use consistent pluralization for parallel items.
× For example, I love photographing the sunset of the beaches and the misty hills in the mountain.
✓ For example, I love photographing the sunsets on the beaches and the misty hills in the mountains.
Use plural 'sunsets' to match general habit and 'on the beaches' is the idiomatic preposition for photographing a sunset at a beach. Also 'mountain' should be plural 'mountains' to match general reference to ranges or many hills; 'in the mountains' is the correct phrase. These changes make the sentence grammatically and idiomatically correct.
