• Be kind to your camera outdoors. Between cold-weather photos, or in the rain, carry your camera inside your coat or jacket. In hot weather, store the camera in a cooler when you aren't taking photos. 
• Uncertain what conditions you'll encounter at your destination? Then carry your camera in a clear plastic bag to protect it. You can add a skylight or daylight filter to your camera lens to help protect it, too. 
• Find a firm footing for your picture-taking. In wet or snowy conditions, you want extra support. On the water or on a boat, try leaning against a mast or railing for extra stability. 
• Avoid speedy rewinding of freshly exposed film in cold weather. Cold, dry air promotes static electricity on film; this can cause lightning-like streaking on your negatives. With a manual camera, rewind film slowly, preferably indoors. Motorized cameras with auto-rewind systems are best brought indoors and allowed to warm to room temperature before rewinding the film; don't expose the last frame until you're back indoors. 
• Bring along lens-cleaning tissue to clean the lens if moisture or dirt collects on the lens, especially when taking a warm camera into cool or moist air.
