Ensure you are always
looking where you are
walking.
Do not run with the camera and
always wear the neck strap
attached to the camera.
Ask people before taking the
picture if they want to be in it.
Clear the room of all wires
that could be a hazard before
beginning.
Put the camera down when
not in use, and always be
extra careful when handling
it.
I could assign a person in
my group to make sure
anyone who has not given
consent is not caught in the
photo.
