| Unless you are absolutely serious about photography, bring a cheap, small and simple digital camera that costs a maximum of £150 - the reason being, most backpacker policies only insure individual items up to this value. If you are to invest in anything, make it a reasonably-sized memory card. |
| Treasure Your Photos: Backup, Backup, Backup

| The worst thing about having your camera stolen is losing all those memories - so safeguard against it. At sensible intervals (say, once per country), get your photos burnt to CD - and here's the important thing - make two copies. Send one home by airmail, and get confirmation from someone at home that it has arrived safely. If it does, you can discard the second copy. If the CD doesn't reach home, get another copy taken of it and send it again, once again keeping your "insurance" copy safe until you've received word it has reached home safely. Don't solely rely on storing your photos in your possession. |
