| Photographing Etiquette |  Do not forget to ask permission before taking photos of other people as someone may not wish to be photographed. It is prohibited to take pictures of airports, government buildings and installations or of military compounds and personnel, since photographing places where permission is not granted can result, at best, in confiscation of your film. And of course consider that you will be with other people, who are not less eager to take the greatest photo of their life. Share the best views with other fellow travelers and do not impede their pleasure by making noises, creating a fuss, or hindering their view and picture taking. Do not stand up suddenly in the vehicle as it may frighten the animal and it may run or fly away and nobody will be able to photograph it.
And here are some useful observations. First of all, check that you reset your ASA setting to the specifications of your film. Prop your camera so you would have a firm base when taking a picture (do not forget about a handy bean-bag). Remember that the pictures taken from the roof-hatch may not make as much of an impressive portrait as the picture taken at eye level from a window. Make sure you operate your camera properly and know all its aspects. Consider the background while composing your picture. And before you depart learn about shutter speed and depth of focus, so you could take the best possible shots under any circumstances.
