I've a photography related question.
Backgorund: I will be travelling thru Western Europe to Central America and to North America.
Do you think it is better to bring a Laptop or just bring a storage device for my photos?
Should I bring a camera backpack (Rover AW II) or just place my DSLR in my normal backpack? (I am actually quite paranoid abt getting mugged)
my suggestion.
Except for ur basic toiletries, towel, undies, laptop, camera and 1 spare set of clothes. Bring an empty luggage.
U can buy clothes like what the locals do as u go along.
The last thing u'd want is to start ur trip on a heavy bag and killing ur mood straightaway with a 20kg backpack when u start and end up with a 50kg backpack when u end. The last thing u'll need would be to kill urself.
Start light, end heavy. My suggestion.
If u're worried of getting mugged, stay alert and bring just 1 superzoom.
If u're constantly worrying abt getting mugged and afraid that even staying alert and utilising common sense and tacticality would not get u past muggers, den don't go at all.
There's always an element of risk in everything.
Look forward to ur photos soon!
