Top ten tips for travel photography

Photograph alone. It's a lot easier to interact with people and you won't worry about frustrating your travel companions
Do your research. You'll be a lot more productive if you turn up during a big festival or similar event
Have a back-up plan. If your wallet gets stolen, you should have some emergency cash elsewhere. If a camera breaks, you should know where you can get it repaired or replaced
Eliminate all unnecessary gear. Carry your extra stuff in a small bag. Bashing into everything with a large, heavy bag won't help things
Take your camera out at the beginning of the day and don't put it away until the end. If you put it in a bag, you'll end up missing something
Walk as much as possible. Don't worry about getting lost. At the end of the day, just ask people for directions back to your base, then walk home or hitch a ride
Talk to people. Express an interest in what they are doing
Ask permission to photograph whenever possible
Never give in. Never give in. Thank you Mr Churchill. The longer you persevere, the harder you think about trying to do things your way, the more streets you walk down, the better you'll get
Respect everyone and be nice! This is a huge privilege.
