A Scout is prepared for every opportunity while in town or in the wild. At home today, almost all of us are prepared for an earthquake with a survival kit. Take a few moments now to scout your photo opportunities and prepare yourself and your camera for the longer days of travel, sun, and sea. Check your camera's operation. Don't wait until the day before your vacation to discover a problem.
Simple repairs can take up to six weeks.
Refresh your skills. Take a practice roll with your camera to simulate the event you wish to capture. Review the owner's manual or take a refresher course to improve your skill level. Stock up on film. Buy a dozen or so rolls of your favorite emulsion.
