Travel Photography
I was reading some article and happen to chance upon one talking about being overseas and some precauiton photographers can take to safeguard themselves.
1. Travel with Insurance on your equipment.
You never know when your equipment might get stolen.
2. Travel with a buddy
Especially in third world countries, there's always a chance of a photographer getting robbed.
3. Watch your surroundings
It's important to stay alert when travelling to third world foreign countries. Watch what is happening around you. Dont't get lost in your own thoughts. Be aware.
4. Be Confident and Blend in
You can tell the difference between a seasoned traveller and a neophite. The clothing they wear and the way they walk. If you act like you know what's going on where you are headed, you'll most probably be left alone.
5. If you notice someone following you, Find a shop in a common area
Put away your equipment and call for help
6. Have a emergency number
The embassy is always handy to have but even the hotel you are staying.
7. Take pictures of your receipts
Need to keep track of your expenses? Pictures of receipts will come in handy. Review them and file them away. You will have the records without the mess.
8. Keep Records
There's nothing worst than being unable to remember where your best images are taken. Locations are not the easiest places to remember. Keep a catalogue for future reference. Write down the locations you went to by date. Be sure your camera is set to the correct date and time before you travel.
9. Be Smart
If you are travelling with expensive equipments, dont' do stupid things unless you want to replace your equipments
