Travel Tips - Photography

Disposable Cameras Give your child a disposable camera to record their travel experiences.	Don't Shoot! In these days of heightened security alerts, refrain from photographing border areas, police stations, customs or other security checkpoints and military outposts.
Get Familiar with Your Camera If you're buying new camera equipment, get it well before your trip to learn how it operates.	Get that Perfect Shot Pictures are cheap in comparison to airplane tickets, so it is better to take too many photos than not enough. You never know if or when you'll be back
Interesting Photos Rather than trying to capture an entire scene, look for interesting and unique details to photograph. For example, take one photo of a market scene as an overview and then several close-ups of the products or people.	Permission Use common courtesy and ask permission before photographing local people.
Postcards as Snapshots Postcards are a wonderful way to capture that once in a lifetime photograph of a specific destination.	Protect Your Camera Be aware that digital cameras are sensitive to water and static electricity. Protect these and other hand-held electronic devices in specially designed bags.
Rain Rain can add an interesting element to photographs. Don't despair when the weather turns - use it to your advantage. Windpro® Auto Umbrella	Spare Camera Batteries Bring at least one extra camera battery with you. Because you will be using your camera so much more, batteries can drain quickly. Also, cameras may be inadvertently left on or turned on during transit.
