Hi, i'll be going to paris soon... hope to take some pics there during my short visit... so most likely will be walking abt alone...
i hv heard from some of my friends to ask me to be careful... they say u will get rob.. cut ur strap from the camera... pickpocket are common... i would like to ask from the fellow csers to safety advice me on my trip there...
the last time i went italy i didnt even dare to go out after 9pm... feel veri insecure...
some of the tips my friend gave me is wear the camera and hid it under ur jacket.. dun hv any bags dangling around.. but i find it quite difficult cos its too cold to open/close ur jacket when u wanna take a shot... i am wearing a beltpack so its also it difficult to hide also cos i hv another backpack with my clothes inside... another prob is my 70-200 f2.8, its big... dunno how am i going to change my lens with the beltpack... izzit better that i hv a separate lens case for my 70-200? btw.. i still got a tripod to lug around...
i dun dare to leave my camera lens in my hotel room also.. dun feel safe.. cos my trip is a budget one so staying in a 2 star hotel single room... i will there early in the morning so cant check in until afternoon...
hope cant gimme some practical advice... probably i am juz cynical and paranoid...
Thanks...
