Scott also recommends a long camera strap slung over a shoulder which allows the camera and lens to swing around. Far safer in all respects to have a short neoprene camera strap and have it around ones arm when shooting and to have the camera put into the camera bag when not in use. A shoulder hag with the strap over the head and on the opposite shoulder and with a waist strap (even if one has to have one sewn on by a shoe repair shop) makes it exceedingly difficult for a thief to grab it and run off. The bag should have both a zipper closure and a large flap as the combination keeps the equipment inside safer from stranger's hands and dirt and rain.
It helps to know what size bag counts as a "personal item" but the airline and how large a bag can be put in the overhead compartment. In most planes a 14 liter backpack qualifies as a personal item bag and this helps to make the primary bag much lighter and easier to manage. It also pays to buy a premium coach ticket to be able to board earlier and have more room for one carryon items.
He writes about not leaving camera equipment lying about in the hotel room which ignores the simple reality that even if there happens to be a room safe it will be much to small for a couple of netbooks with no room for a camera bag and its contents. Far better to have as checked baggage a hard case that in the room can serve as a large room safe when it is attached to the bed frame.
His images of people are sniper type shots using a telephoto and none show even the slightest effort to establish a connection and rapport with the people he encounters. A famous photographer, Capa, stated that if your pictures are not strong enough then you are not close enough and this is good advice when photographing people.
He writes about using a tripod when one only really needs a tripod for exposures longer than 1/30s and so helps with night and landscape photography. Cameras and lenses with optical stabilization allow for slower shutter speeds while shooting hand held but this is never mentioned. Off camera flash adds a great deal but even a speedlite mounted to a camera hotshoe can be used to bounce light off a ceiling or wall and add more light both indoors and outside.
He pans the use of photo guides when in many parts of the world one can find individuals who are experienced in working with photographers and fees can be agreed upon before one leaves the house. In addition to getting a guide one also gets a translator and a driver and a car in the deal and this is always a good value.
Simple advice like getting out on the water at a location to gain a different perspective is never mentioned or the best way to photograph from a boat on the rivers or oceans. One can see how the people live instead of the staged performances directed at the tourists.
