Travel photographers should be careful when taking photographs in public. Some areas might be considered highly sensitive by the authorities and permission may be required for shoots.
Carry sufficient film and batteries for the camera and an external flash
if required.
Before photographing people, take their permission for the same. This is the polite thing to do.
Research about the place you plan to visit. Look at web forums and travel websites to get information about scenic spots that you can photograph.
If you don't have an all-weather or waterproof camera, try keeping the camera sealed in a plastic bag to protect it from water. To protect it from extreme cold, keep it close to your body. If you notice condensation on or inside the camera, stop using it until you're back in a dry area.
Before you travel, contact your insurance company and to ensure your photography equipment is covered while travelling. Note down serial numbers and models of all of the equipment you plan to carry and use.
Check the weather forecast online regularly, so you know what to expect while shooting in the outdoors. Once you arrive in a place, take time to look around for interesting views.
