If you’re traveling for the summer, you’ve got the perfect excuse to grab your digital camera and take some great pictures. Perhaps your family is going away on vacation to a theme park or to the beach, a national monument, or somewhere exotic. Or maybe you’re just going to visit your family in another town or another part of the city.
No matter what you’re doing or where you go this summer, it’s the perfect season to practice digital photography. There’s no school and you have plenty of free time, the sun stays out longer, and let’s face it, digital photography is just plain fun.

If you’re heading out and trying to figure out what camera gear you’ll need, here’s a handy guide of what to bring to make your photographic summer the best yet.

Camera bag — Storing your camera in a waterproof camera bag is a great way to protect your gear, and your pictures. Camera and electronics stores both carry a decent selection of these types of bags. Make sure the bag says that it’s waterproof to be sure that a sudden rainstorm or splash from a pool won’t hurt what’s inside.
Power cord — Bringing your camera’s power cable and its battery-charging dock means that you’ll have plenty of juice if you’re going to be on a long trip. Recharge your battery every night when you go to sleep and your camera will work all day, every day.
Extra battery — If you’re going to go out for a long time without a power outlet nearby (camping or rafting, perhaps), you can get more use out of your camera by bringing along a second charged battery. Nothing’s more depressing than finding your camera has run out of power right before your group gets to the top of the mountain, or floats over the waterfall.
Extra memory card — Memory cards can hold a lot of pictures, but if you’re not going to be back to your computer for a long time, bring an extra memory card or two. You’ll be able to take more pictures without erasing any, and not have to worry about having to bring a computer along.


Lens-cleaning cloth — Dirty fingerprints can smudge a camera’s lens, and cleaning it with a paper towel can scratch the surface. Get a lens-cleaning cloth from a pharmacy or optician and you’ll be sure to have great pictures without any thumbprints.
Optional lenses and accessories— Many digital cameras work with additional lenses and accessories that can add to your photo-taking fun. Try a wide-angle lens on your camera and see how neat it is to capture a sunset. Or use a strobe to light up a dark room. Check your camera’s manual to see what other accessories are available for it.
Tripod — Nothing ruins a picture like unintentional camera shake. A tripod will help you keep your camera steady, so you can focus on your subject rather than keeping your camera in focus.
Camera manual — Many people leave their camera’s manual at home when they head out, but the manual is a great resource. Forget what a button does? Just look it up. Want to try out macro photography? It’s all there in the book.
With our digital photography travel kit, you’ll never miss a great photo opportunity. So pack up your camera and hit the road this summer to see what kind of pictures you can take, no matter where you are.
