| Read the Weather Forecast | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You don't want to trek out early with all your equipment only to run into severe weather that will not only dampen your spirits and enthusiasm but also soak that new nifty digital SLR of yours to the core. Surely not the best way to put the weatherproofing claims of camera manufacturers to the test. Always bring along a small poncho in your camera bag for those unexpected monsoon downpours.

Insect repellent is also important if you are out photographying in the wilderness. The last thing you want is pesky mosquitoes to irritate you into retreating. Never underestimate the companionship of a good book if you can afford the space in your bag and the load on your back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
