Seeing that as I'm writing this I am mid-travel on my way to Trinidad, I felt it appropriate to talk a little bit about gear safety while traveling. As seasoned CameraPorn readers may know from previous posts, I from time-to-time travel to Trinidad (read here, here and here). This and a recent, horrible gear theft experience of a friend of mine (more on that later), got me thinking a little bit more about gear safety. Now I'm not talking about professional swimsuit photographers off to Bali, or insane conflict photographers to a war zone. I'm talking about you, and me and most of the readers of this blog... serious hobbyists, traveling for fun and shooting pleasure. For me these trips usually mean a hot, sweaty, foreign country, though the tips I'm going to share can apply to almost anything from a day trip to the desert or an adventure to remote villages in India.
And so we begin, 6 ways to keep your gear happy, safe and sound during your travels.
